Metabolic thermogenic curves of mitochondria isolated from liver tissue of Carassius auratus and the effect of different concentration of NaAsO 2 on it were investigated by TAM air isothermal microcalorimeter, ampoule method, at 28.00 °C. From the thermogenic curves, activity recovery rate constants k , the maximum heat production rate ( P max ) and the total heat produced ( Q ) were obtained. The values of k and P max decline gradually with the increase of the concentration of NaAsO 2 , and both of the values of P max and k are highly correlated to the concentration of NaAsO 2 . When concentration of NaAsO 2 reached 16.0 µg/mL, the maximum heat production rate dropped to 70.8% of the control group, and the corresponding percentage of k was 71.4% of the control group. This experimental result indicates that the addition of NaAsO 2 has restrained the metabolic activities of mitochondria in vitro .
