(1) The effects of changes in the intramitochondrial volume, benzyl alcohol treatment and calcium-induced mitochondrial aging on the behaviour of liver mitochondria from control and glucagon-treated rats are reported. (2) The stimulatory effects of glucagon on mitochondrial respiration, pyruvate metabolism and citrulline synthesis could be mimicked by hypo-osmotic treatment of control mitochondria and reversed by calcium-induced aging of mitochondria or by treatment with 20 mM benzyl alcohol. Hypo-osmotic treatment increased the matrix volume whilst aging but not benzyl alcohol decreased this parameter. (3) Liver mitochondria from glucagon and adrenaline-treated rats were shown to be less susceptible to damage by exposure to calcium than control mitochondria and frequently showed slightly (15%) elevated intramitochondrial volumes. (4) Aging, benzyl alcohol and hypo-osmotic media increased the susceptibility of mitochondria to damage caused by exposure to calcium. (5) Glucagon-treated mitochondria were less leaky to adenine nucleotides than control mitochondria. (6) These results suggest that glucagon may exert its action on a wide variety of mitochondrial parameters through a change in the disposition of the inner mitochondrial membrane, possibly by stabilisation against endogenous phospholipase A2 activity. This effect may be mimicked by an increase in the matrix volume or reversed by calcium-dependent mitochondrial aging.
