The effects of potassium decanoate on the phosphorylation associated with the oxidation of pyruvate by rat-kidney and rat-brain mitochondria have been investigated. The suggestion that these two processes may be uncoupled from each other in the presence of decanoate has been confirmed. Further, it has been shown that the decanoate-insensitive oxidation of pyruvate by rat-brain mitochondria, occurring in the absence of such stimulating agents as fumarate, is not associated with ATP synthesis. The fumarate-stimulated oxidation of pyruvate by rat-brain mitochondria, which is inhibited by decanoate, is associated with a phosphorylation process which is uncoupled by decanoate. When pyruvate oxidation by rat-kidney or by rat-brain mitochondria is uncoupled from phosphorylation, the extent of uncoupling is proportional to the amount of decanoate added.

Fatty acids inhibit the oxidation of pyruvate by rat-kidney mitochondria but the extent of inhibition depends upon the nature and amount of agent added to stimulate the oxidation. The longer chain fatty acids are more effective inhibitors and, in general, the even-numbered fatty acids show greater inhibitory effects than the adjacent odd-numbered fatty acids. Under conditions where 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNOP) and the fatty acids separately have little effect on the respiratory activity of rat-kidney mitochondria with pyruvate as substrate, the addition of both fatty acid and DNOP results in an extensive inhibition. At low concentrations the fatty acids are oxidized by rat-kidney mitochondria but at concentrations of 10−3 M and higher they inhibit their own oxidation, the oxidation of pyruvate, and those of the acids of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The oxidation of pyruvate by rat-brain mitochondria is insensitive to decanoate but both the fumarate- and DNOP-stimulated oxidations of pyruvate are sensitive to the presence of decanoate. In contrast, Nembutal inhibits both the oxidation of pyruvate alone and the fumarate-stimulated oxidation of pyruvate. Possible mechanisms for the observed inhibitory effects of fatty acids are discussed.
