The histrochemistry of the adrenal glands was studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). It was impossible to demonstrate any reactivity to UDPG-GT, ADH, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, xilitol (NAD-dependent) dehydrogenase, beta-glucuronidase and aryl-sulfatase in these glands. Total phosphorylase was found in scattered cells of the glomerulosa and adjacent outer fasciculata of one C. penicillata. The dehydrogenases (LDH, G-6-PDH,6-PGDH, NADPH2-TR,ICDH,SDH,NADH2-TR, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH) as well as the hydrolases (except alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, and acetylcholinesterase) showed a stonger reactivity in the cortical part. Some hydrolases (naphthol acetate esterase, acid phosphatase) and cytochrome oxidase were less reactive in the zona glomerulosa, where the dehydrogenases were more abundant. The outer fasciculata and the reticularis also showed a strong dehydrogenase reactivity.

The histochemistry of the neural cells was studied in the submandibular ganglia of 5 Callithrix jacchus (3 males and 2 females) and 4 Callithrix penicillata (2 males and 2 females). These cells contain neutral mucopolysaccharides, nucleoproteins and lipidic materia, but are apparently devoid of glycogen. It is impossible to demonstrate in them any reactivity for UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, ATPase at pH 6.3, leucine aminopeptidase and alanyl aminopeptidas. The reaction for the other searched enzymes was as follows: weak (F-1,6-P Ald and cytochrome oxidase), weak to moderate (ADH, 6-P-GDH, ICDH, SDH, MDH, alpha-GPDH and beta-OHBDH), moderate (G-6-PDH, F-1,6-PA, LDH and GDH), moderate to strong (ATPase at pH 7.4, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase) and strong (G-6-PA, NADH2,-TR, NADPH2-TR, ATPase at pH 8.5 and 9.4 and alkaline phosphatase).

The epithelial cells in the taste buds of C. jacchus and C. penicillata show a moderate amount of ribonucleic acid an a concentration of a PAS-positive diastase-resistant material at their apical part. These cells are devoid of UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, G-6-PA, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, cholinesterase and MAO; they present a weak reaction of F-1, 6-P Ald, LDH, SDH, MDH, cytochrome oxidase, beta-OHBDH, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase and a stronger reaction to ADH, NADPH2-TR, ATPases, alpha-GPDH, alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and GDH. Although some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and ATPases) have an almost uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller taste buds of the fungiform papillae. As a rule the apical part of the cells shows a stronger enzymatic reactivity. The taste buds of the marmosets are penetrated by acetylcholinesterase positive nerve fibers whereas the autonomic ganglia in the connective tissue contain both-acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase.

The liver cells of 8 rabbits fed for 12 to 16 weeks with a cholesterol diet showed a decrease of RNA and a stronger reactivity for acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase. The non-specific esterase showed a weaker reactivity in the cells with a larger amount of cholesterol and a stronger reaction in the cells with a smaller quantity of this substance. Several enzymes such as: diaphorases, those of the pentose shunt and respiratory cycle as well as those related to the metabolism of lipids, proteins and mucopolysaccharides showed a unconspicuous reactivity. The glycogen was found in a lesser amont in 6 out of 8 rabbits but with a higher concentration in 2 of them. The reactivity of UDPG-GT, active phosphorylase, F-1,6-PA, F-1,6-P Ald, LDH and ADH was stronger in the last 2 animals but weaker in the 6 others. In this 8 rabbit group the total phosphorylase and G-6-PA showed respectively always a stronger and a weaker reactivity than their controls. In the liver of 2 cholesterol-fed for 20 weeks rabbits it was observed a centrolobular fibrosis, a smaller amount of RNA and glycogen as well as a global decrease of the enzymatic reactivity.

The object of the study was the liver of newborn rats. Specimens were taken from the 2nd to the 8th hour after birth. Tissue material was obtained from control animals and the newborns whose mothers had been ethanol fed throughout gestation period. 40% ethanol was administered in doses of 8.0 g/kg weight, by gastric tube. In the newborn liver ethanol ingestion had led to significant accumulation of lipids, a strong acid phosphatase reaction and to a drop in succinic dehydrogenase activity. Histochemically, the intensity of alcohol dehydrogenase activity did not show any difference when the ethanol treated newborn liver was compared with controls. Ultrastructurally, the changes in the liver cells were expressed by a disappearance of the rough endoplasmic reticulum elements. Mitochondria were often swollen and distorted.

The structure and histochemistry of the palmar and plantar skin were studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). In this skin there exist well-developed epidermal ridges, to which are attached one or two ducts of sweat glands. A thick stratum corneum can be seen in the epidermis, while a distinct stratum lucidum cannot be isolated from the other layers. The stratum granulosum is constituted by one or three layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules. Melanin granulations are mainly concentrated in the basal cells of the epidermal ridges. Dendritic melanocytes and amelanotic melanocytes containing alkaline phosphatase are found among the epidermal cells. Glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylases are mainly present in the middle and lower Malpighian cells of the epidermal ridges. Alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, alanyl amino-peptidase and leucine aminopeptidase were absent in the epidermal cells. SDH, cytochrome oxidase, MAO and a certain number of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LDH, ADH, MDH, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH and GDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the basal cells and Malpighian layer. The NADP-dependent enzymes (G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, cis-aconistase and ICDH) were more reactive in the upper Malpighian layer and stratum granulosum. The stratum corneum showed some acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase reactivity. The collagenous fibers intertwined with a small number of very thin elastic ones and a larger amount of reticular fibers run almost parallel to the epidermal ridges in the papillary body. In the reticular dermis some fibers are disposed transversely to the epidermal ridges. Meissner corpuscles reactive to butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, nonspecific esterase and G-6-PA are disposed at regular intervals and frequently at each side of the epidermal ridges. Pacinian corpuscles were found only in the hypodermis. The eccrine sweat glands contain glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylase in their secretory, ductal and myoepithelial cells. The secretory part shows a uniform reactivity for every dehydrogenase because it contains only one type of cells (clear cells). The intraepidermal segment of the ducts shows a stronger reactivity to nonspecific esterase and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases than the epithelial cells around it.

Histoenzymologic differences between the parotid, paramandibular and submandibular glands were studied in six Callithrix jacchus (four males and two females) and four Callithrix penicillata (three males and one female). The acinous cells of the paramandibular glands showed a stronger reactivity for the diaphorases (NADH2-TR and NADPH2-TR) and for a certain group of enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism (F-1-6P Ald, LDH, ADH, G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH), lipid metabolism (alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase), protein metabolism (alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase and GDH) and respiratory chain (cris-aconitase and ICDH). The nonspecific esterase was more reactive in the basal part of of the mucous cells of the submandibular glands. Conversely, some enzymes of the respiratory chain (SDH, cytochrome oxidase and ATPases) showed a stronger reactivity in the serous cells of the parotid and submandibular glands. The paramandibular glands exhibited a lesser autonomic innervation than the parotid and submandibular.

The isoenzyme pattern of an Acanthamoeba, stock H-1, isolated from a patient with keratitis (Krankenhaus Heidberg, Hamburg) was compared with that of two strains of A. quina-A. lugdunensis (302-2, 312-1), two stocks of A. lenticulata (45, 89-1) and one strain of A. rhysodes (302-1). The isolated stock showed glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), beta-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase (beta-HBDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) isoenzyme patterns similar to those of A. quina-A. lugdunensis but their acid phosphatase (AP) patterns differed. Furthermore, cyst morphology showed that the patient-isolated stock belongs to group II of the taxonomic classification of Acanthamoeba. This stock was not thermophilic and exhibited non-pathogenic properties after its intranasal instillation into NMRI mice, whereas it killed BALB/c mice. Immunofluorescent studies revealed the presence of antibodies against Acanthamoeba in the patient's serum. Immunoblotting experiments showed that a 45-kDa protein reacted with this serum. Such an antigen was also detected in A. quina-A. lugdunensis and A. lenticulata. Lectin reactions with Canavalia ensiformis, Ricinus communis-120, Lotus tetragonolobus, Ulex europaeus I, Helix pomatia, Arachis hypogaea, Triticum vulgaris, Glycine maxima, Bauhinia purpurea and Mycoplasma gallisepticum demonstrated that only the A. lenticulata stocks could not be distinguished and that the H-1 stock was more similar to the A. lugdunensis 302-2 strain than to the other acanthamoebae.

The metabolism of ethyl carbamate and the localization of its metabolites have been shown to be almost completely inhibited by ethanol in the mouse [Waddell, Marlowe, Pierce: Food Chem. Toxicol.25, 527 (1987); Yamamoto, Pierce, Hurst, Chen, Waddell: Drug Metab. Dispos. 16, 355 (1988)]. The enzyme system catalyzing this metabolism which is inhibited by ethanol now has been further investigated in both in vivo and in vitro studies. There is a direct, highly significant relationship between the extent of metabolism of ethyl carbamate and covalent binding of metabolites to liver protein. Paraoxon, carbaryl, CCl4 ethanol, methimazole, 4-methylpyrazole, diethyl maleate, ethyl N-hydroxycarbamate, and t-butyl carbamate inhibit, to different extents, the metabolism of ethyl carbamate in vivo; SKF-525A, CoCl2, Cacyanamide, chloral hydrate, 2-oxo-4-thiazolidine carboxylic acid, allopurinol, and methyl carbamate do not. Porcine liver esterase, yeast aldehyde dehydrogenase and mouse liver catalase catalyzed the metabolism in vitro; dog or bovine catalase, acid phosphatase, alcohol dehydrogenase, or carbonic anhydrase did not under the conditions tested. Paraoxon, 4-methylpyrazole, carbaryl, and NaF significantly inhibited the hydrolytic activity of mouse liver homogenates toward p-nitrophenyl acetate; ethanol or ethyl carbamate did not. However, each of these, except 4-methylpyrazole, inhibited the metabolism of ethyl carbamate by mouse liver homogenate or porcine liver esterase to about the same extent. Ion exchange chromatography of mouse liver cytosol revealed that the fraction with ability to metabolize ethyl carbamate co-chromatographed almost exactly with the ability to hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl acetate. It is proposed that ethyl carbamate is metabolized in the mouse, at least partially, by esterases; however, metabolism by other enzyme systems cannot be excluded.

Cells of Entamoeba histolytica grown over a period of four days contained NADP+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase exclusively inside the cells. No activity of this enzyme could be found in the growth medium after harvesting the cells. Under the same conditions, acid phosphatase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, esterase, alpha-glucosidase, and different amylases of the parasite were found both inside the cells and in the medium. The activities present in the cell homogenate and in the medium before and after growth of the amoebas were partially separated by gel filtration on Sephadex G150 and G75, respectively. The comparison of the elution diagrams revealed that NADP+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, esterase, and amylases occurred as multiple forms inside the cells. These activities, as well as beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-glucosidase, were released into the extracellular environment to a different degree. The enzymes originating from the parasite were identified and distinguished from those of the ingredients of the growth medium according to their molecular mass and pH optimum. Furthermore, the amoebic origin of the secreted enzymes was shown on the basis of their inhibition by antibodies prepared against the supernatant fraction of the homogenate.
