Histochemical studies were carried out on some of the glycolytic enzymes viz. phosphorylase, aldose, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and a key enzyme of the pentose phosphatase cycle, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), in the hepatopancreas of Scylla serrata (Forskal). 1. Weak activities of phosphorylase and aldolase and strong-activities of alpha-GPDH and LDH were noticed mainly in the brush border of the tubules and R-cell cytoplasm. A trace activity of G-6-PDH was noticed in the brush border. 2. Bilateral eyestalk removal results in inhibition of both phosphorylase and aldolase. However, enhanced activities of alpha-GPDH and LDH were noticeable 4 h after the operation. The G-6-PDH activity remained unaltered till 24 h. 3. Injection of eyestalk extract into both intact and destalked crabs activated all the enzymes.

A histochemical evaluation of the activity of chosen oxido-reductive enzymes of the cardiac muscle connected with the citric acid cycle, glycolysis and pentose shunt in the early experimental alloxan diabetes period in white rats has been carried out. Dehydrogenases: succinate, isocitrate and glucose-6-phosphate indicated a decrease in the enzymatic activity while the lactate dehydrogenase activity did not undergo any change. An increase in the intensity of the histoenzymatic reaction only concerned glutamate dehydrogenase. The presented histoenzymatic evidence of changes in the enzymatic activities may speak for the possibility of an existence of a direct diabetes influence on the cardiac muscle metabolism.

Experiments were conducted on rabbits. A study was made of the activity of the redox enzymes--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), NAD-and NADP-diaphorases, cytochromeoxidase (CCO), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and the posterior lobe of the hypophysis under conditions of stimulation and removal of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia. There was revealed a correlation between the activity of the tissue respiration enzymes (SDH, MDH, NAD- and NADP-diaphorase, CCO) and the functional condition of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial neurosecretory system. However, the enzymes of the pentose-phosphate (G-6-PDH) and glycerophosphate shunt (alpha-GPDH) and also of the anaerobic way of oxidation (LDH) reacted nonspecifically on the induced effects.

The activity of hexokinase, dehydrogenases of pentose cycle, total lactate dehydrogenase, and cytochrome-C-oxidase level was determined in the aorta of rats with hyperthyroidism caused by the intraperitoneal administration of L-thyroxin. In the administration of hormone doses approaching the physiological ones there was an increase in the activity of cytochrome-C-oxidase and a tendency to the increase of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Elevation of the activity of all the enzymes under study, excluding lactate dehydrogenase, and in increase of the amount of extractable protein occurred in the administration of moderate thyroxin doses. An increase of hexokinase and particularly of cytochrome-C-oxidase activity was revealed in hyperthyroidism with phenomena of thyrotoxicosis. The activity of the rest of the enzymes approached control. The data obtained are discussed from the point of view of the role played by thyroid hormones in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

The activities of the key gluconeogenic, glycolytic, and pentose-shunt enzymes in chicken kidney were determined starting from 8 days before to 58 days after hatching. The activities of pyruvate carboxylase (PC), mitochondrial and cytosolic phosphoenolypruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were low in the embryonic tissue but increased towards the time of hatching. After hatching, the activities of PC, mitochondrial PEPCK, and G6Pase continued to increase, but those of FDPase and cytosolic PEPCK decreased. Relatively little change in these activities was observed in chickens over 24 days old. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased during embryonic growth. After hatching, HK activity continued to increase and then decrease, whereas PFK appeared to decrease and then increase to prehatch levels in 28-day-old birds. LDH activity continued to increase until 8 days after hatching and remained constant thereafter. No definite pattern was discernible in the case of PK. As for the pentose-shunt enzymes, there was no significant change in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PDH), but the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) increased until the chickens were 14 days old and then remained relatively constant.

The authors have studied the enzymhistochemical and ultrastructural pictures of tenocytes of adult human tendons. High succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, TPN-diaphorase, lactate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity were found, as indicated both oxidativ, anaerobic and pentose-phosphate shung activity. Phosphorylase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity was medial, lipase and alcaline phosphatase activity was slight. In tenocytes well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and GOLGI apparatus, large amount of free ribosomes were found.

Certain key enzymes of alternative pathways of glucose metabolism, of amino acid metabolism and of redox systems have been measured in hydra and this profile compared with mammalian differentiated tissues with a view to locating pathways of specific importance in hydra. There was a marked constant proportionality in the major part of the enzymes investigated, the profile suggested a metabolic pattern geared to utilization of amino acids as a carbon source for biosynthesis and energy production and to the production and conservation of pyruvate. The importance of conversion to ionized forms was noted. The most notable specific proportion changes were the exceptionally low lactate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and the relatively high citrate synthase. The proximal-distal gradients in hydra were examined and these gradients suggested a switch to a more anaerobic type of metabolism and an elevation of the pentose phosphate pathway as the basal region was approached. Measurements of the formation of 14CO2 from specifically labelled glucose provided additional evidence for the functional activity and polarity of the pentose phosphate pathway in hydra. The effect of oligomycin, which can reverse polarity in hydra, had a significant effect on gradients of enzymes eliminating all except that observed for G6P dehydrogenase. The profile suggested a movement towards a more anaerobic type of metabolism, in keeping with the known biochemical action of this inhibitor. It is suggested that redox states and/or phosphorylation states may be featured in the positional information of cells in hydra.

The mechanism of amphotericin B action was studied with the aid of cytochemical methods providing determination of the activity of the 4 main enzymes characterizing the cell energetics, i. e. succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase inside the cell. With an increase in the concentration of amphotericin B in the medium the activity of all the 4 enzymes decreased, the percentage of the inactive cells being regularly increased. Changes in the fermentative activity of C. albicans as dependent on the incubation time with the antibiotic were studied. Only the respiration activity decreased in 2 hours. As a result of a 4-hour exposure to the polyen in the cells of C. albicans the activity of the lactic acid fermentation, respiration through succinate dehydrogenase and activity of the pentose shunt decreased 1.5--2 times. In 24 hours of incubation the activity of the above decreased 80--90 per cent as compared to the activity of the initial culture.

As part of a detailed analysis of the specific enzyme metabolism in individual hypothalamic nuclei during different endocrinological and behavioral states, quantitative distribution of a group of enzymes representative of major metabolic pathways was examined. Malic dehydrogenase (MDH), representative of the citric acid cycle, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), of glycolysis, glutamic dehydrogenase (GDH), of glutamate metabolism, and glucoseo-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), of the pentose pathway, were measured in 11 hypothalamic nuclei, the cerebral cortex, and the cerebellum of adult female rats neonatally treated with testosterone propionate (TP). Several significant metabolic changes occurred in specific hypothalamic nuclei following neonatal TP (1 mg) treatment. MDH activity was significantly reduced in the suprachiasmatic (11%), supraoptic (13%), and anterior (9%) nuclei. No statistically significant changes occurred in nuclei of the middle or posterior hypothalamus. LDH was significantly elevated only in the lateral preoptic areas (23%). Several significant increases of G-6-PDH activity occurred in the following nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus: medial preoptic (32%), lateral preoptic (33%), supraoptic (13%), and paraventricular (23%). No statistically significant changes occurred in nuclei of the middle or posterior hypothalamus; these results were similar to those for MDH and LDH. GDH activity was generally elevated in all of the hypothalamic nuclei examined, except in the anterior nucleus. Significant increases of enzyme level were found in each of the major divisions of the hypothalamus. In the anterior hypothalamus, GDH activity in the paraventricular nucleus rose significantly (16%); in the middle hypothalamus, lateral ventromedial and arcuate nuclear levels were elevated (14 and 17%), and medial and posterior nuclear levels were higher than control values (32 and 36%) in the posterior hypothalamus.

It was conceivable that the previously reported elevated pentose-shunt activity in human rheumatoid synoviocytes could be at the expense of glycolytic activity. To test this possibility the activities of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase, the two dehydrogenase enzymes of the latter pathway, have been investigated in the synovial lining cells in fresh sections of nonrheumatoid and rheumatoid synovial tissue. To measure the activity solely in the lining cells, apart from that in underlying infiltrating cells, quantitative cytochemical reactions have been used; the activities were measured by microdensitometry. The results showed highly and significantly increased activity of both enzymes in the rheumatoid cells. Increased activity was also found in synoviocytes in nonrheumatoid synovial tissue after trauma, so that the increased activity of these enzymes is not characteristic of the rheumatoid condition. However, the results indicate that the increased pentose shunt activity in rheumatoid synovial lining cells is not at the expense of glycolytic activity but may be part of an enhanced potential for utilising glucose 6-phosphate in these cells.
