The results of this paper illustrate that trehalose partially preserves inner mitochondrial membrane integrity after freeze-thawing and freeze-drying with subsequent rehydration in water. The 2,4-dinitrophenol stimulation of ATPase activity was used as a criterion for membrane integrity. The results show that ATPase activity of lyophilized-rehydrated mitochondria was stimulated up to two to three times.
