Abstract:	The effect of incubation of coupled liver mitochondria on varying concentration of zinc ion was determined. A low concentration of 6 i/M zinc ion was found to inhibit the rate of oxygen consumption of the liver mitochondria significantly [P<0.01 ]. There was uncoupling of the liver mitochondria when subjected to varying incubation periods. There was no change observed in the control experiment. Zinc-citrate inhibited the rate of oxygen consumption significantly [P<0.01] when compare with the control. The changes observed in the Zn-aspartate were insignificant. Zn-EDTA had no inhibitory or stimulatory effect on the rate of liver mitochondrial oxygen consumption.
