Figure 5.

Resetting of [Ca2+]mito (black) for two Ca2+ additions. 2 µM Ca2+ was first added to initiate mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. 25 µM EGTA was added to decrease the extramitochondrial calcium concentration ([Ca2+]out, green) to the submicromolar range, and another 4 µM Ca2+ was added to evoke a second [Ca2+]mito response. A decrease in [Ca2+]mito upon lowering [Ca2+]out occurred only in the presence of Na+. Conditions: (A) zero NaCl; (B) 15 mM NaCl; (C) 15 mM NaCl plus 100 nM Ru360; (D) 15 mM NaCl plus 2 mM MgATP.
