1. Changes in [Ca2+]i and pHi, mitochondrial membrane potential (psi m) and mitochondrial [NADH] have been measured independently using fluorescent techniques in single isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes subjected to Ca2+ overload. 2. The changes in NADH autofluorescence on the inhibition or uncoupling of respiration are consistent with the signal emanating from the mitochondrial NADH. 3. Removal of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from the bathing Tyrode solution induced a modest fall in both [Ca2+]i and pHi, a small slowly developing depolarization of psi m and an initial fall followed by a rise in mitochondrial [NADH]. 4. In myocytes that maintained an intact sarcolemma, return to Ca(2+)-containing fluid elicited a strong but brief intracellular acidification, a rise in [Ca2+]i which generally recovered more slowly to stabilize above the initial level in Tyrode solution, a steep fall in mitochondrial [NADH] and a brief transient recovery followed by a large sustained depolarization of psi m. NADH autofluorescence and mitochondrial depolarization often reached values that were not further increased by uncoupling respiration although recovery of NADH was elicited by inhibitors of respiration. 5. These changes were reduced when the Ca2+ overload was less severe as evidenced by a reduced hypercontracture upon Ca2+ repletion. A similar reduction could be routinely achieved by elevation of [Mg2+]o during the period of Ca2+ depletion. 6. These results suggest that the well-established depletion of energy-rich phosphates that occurs on Ca2+ overload is due to the combined effects of the failure of the citric acid cycle to provide sufficient mitochondrial NADH for the respiratory chain and an uncoupling of respiration from ATP production due to depolarization of psi m. The former effect could result from the depletion of sarcoplasmic amino acids and the latter from increased Ca2+ cycling across the mitochondrial wall provoked by the elevated [Na+]i and [Ca2+]i.
