Oxygen uptake by myocardium mitochondria in healthy rabbits and those suffering from cancer was studied as affected by blood sera and beta-globulin of newborn rabbits, pregnant female rabbits, healthy and carcinomatous rabbits. Respiration of myocardium mitochondria in healthy rabbits is inhibited under the effect of sera and beta-globulin of newborn rabbits and pregnant female rabbits. But the mentioned additives produce an opposite effect on oxygen uptake by myocardium mitochondria in the rabbit suffering from cancer as compared to myocardium mitochondria in the healthy rabbit. The difference in the protein action on oxygen uptake is levelled in the animals of different groups for mitochondria destructed under the effect of temperature and supersound.
