abstract：:The effect of triphenyltin on mitochondrial Ca2+ content was studied. It was found that this trialkyltin compound induces an increase in membrane permeability that leads to Ca2+ release, drop of the transmembrane potential, and efflux of matrix proteins. Interestingly, cyclosporin A was unable to inhibit triphenyltin-...
