Pathways for Ca super(2+) efflux in heart and liver mitochondria

Two processes of Ruthenium Red-insensitive Ca super(2+) efflux exist in liver and heart mitochondria: one Na super(+)-independent, and another Na super(+)-dependent. It is concluded that both heart and liver mitochondria possess two independent pathways for Ca super(2+) efflux operating at comparabl...

Summary:Two processes of Ruthenium Red-insensitive Ca super(2+) efflux exist in liver and heart mitochondria: one Na super(+)-independent, and another Na super(+)-dependent. It is concluded that both heart and liver mitochondria possess two independent pathways for Ca super(2+) efflux operating at comparable rates.
