Liver mitochondria isolated from glucagon-treated rats by using both mannitol- and sucrose-based media showed enhanced uncoupled succinate oxidation, pyruvate metabolism and citrulline synthesis. Mitochondria prepared in mannitol medium showed some stimulation of these parameters compared with those prepared in sucrose medium. This was accompanied by an increase in matrix volume of about 20%. Some [14C]mannitol became permanently associated with mitochondria during preparation. It is suggested that mannitol may enter mitochondria during their preparation and cause swelling. The presence of 4mM-phosphate in the sucrose isolation medium stimulated the same parameters as did glucagon treatment, and also caused an increase in matrix volume of about 20%. These results confirm the conclusion that the mitochondrial volume may be important in the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism. They contradict the conclusion of others [Siess (1983) Hoppe-Seyler's Z. Physiol. Chem. 364, 279-290, 835-838] that mannitol rather than sucrose should be used when studying hormonal effects on mitochondrial metabolism. Reasons for the discrepancies in the results between groups studying the effects of hormones on mitochondrial metabolism are discussed.
