NO and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are thought to be physiologically important effectors of mitochondrial calcium transport, but this issue was not studied in a living organism. According to literature, the modulation of Ca2+ uptake could influence RNS production via the action on mitochondrial NO synthase (mtNOS). The aim of this work was to study the effect of in vivo administration of NO donor nitroglycerine (NG) on matrix Ca2+ accumulation, RNS production and mtNOS activity.
