1. Differential and density-gradient centrifugation were used to fractionate mitochondria and fluffy layer from normal and regenerating rat liver. The iron, cytochrome a and cytochrome c contents and cytochrome c-oxidase activity were studied as well as the uptake of (59)Fe into protein and cytochrome c. 2. A certain degree of heterogeneity was evident between the heavy-mitochondrial and light-mitochondrial fractions, and in their behaviour during liver regeneration. 3. The specific content of light-mitochondrial iron and cytochrome a was 1.3-1.4 times that of heavy mitochondria. Changes in cytochrome c-oxidase activity closely followed those of cytochrome a content during liver regeneration, but not for light mitochondria after 10 days. 4. Radioactive iron ((59)Fe) was most actively taken up by well-washed light mitochondria during early liver regeneration. After 22 days fluffy layer became preferentially labelled. This substantiates the view that fluffy layer partially represents broken-down mitochondria. 5. During early regeneration, light-mitochondrial fractions separated along a density gradient were about 3 times as radioactive, and showed distinct heterogeneity of (59)Fe-labelling, in contrast with near homogeneity for heavy mitochondria. 6. Immediately after partial hepatectomy fractions corresponding to density 1.155 were 5-10 times as radioactive as particles of greater density. The radioactivity decreased sharply after 6 days. 7. These particles of low density possessed higher NADH-cytochrome c-reductase (1.5-5-fold) and succinate-dehydrogenase (1.1-2-fold) activities than typical mitochondrial fractions. Their succinate-cytochrome c-reductase and cytochrome c-oxidase activities were slightly lower. 8. The results are discussed in relation to mitochondrial morphogenesis, and a possible route from submitochondrial particles is suggested.
