Individual muscle fibers from the rat anterior tibialis and soleus muscles were each analyzed in duplicate for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37), 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35), fumarate hydrotase (EC 4.2.1.2), glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1), 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), fructose-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11), and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2). A few fibers were also analyzed for adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3). In general, there was a wide and almost continuous spectrum of coordinated enzyme activities. In the tibialis muscle, two fiber groups could be clearly distinguished on the basis of MDH activity. The high MDH group had on the average lower LDH activity, but there was a great deal of overlap in LDH between the two groups. Less overlap was observed for phosphorylase and fructose-bisphosphatase, both inversely related to MDH. Only one main group of fibers (presumably slow twitch) was found in the soleus muscle, although enzyme activities also covered a wide range. These soleus fibers were clearly distinguished from the high MDH tibialis group by much lower activities of LDH, pyruvate kinase, and fructose-bisphosphatase.

The influence of short-term high-altitude (HA) residence on intramuscular pH and skeletal muscle enzyme activity of sea-level (SL) residents was investigated. Vastus lateralis muscle samples were obtained by biopsy from rested subjects (n = 5) at SL (50 m) and on the 18th day of HA residence (4,300 m) for determination of glycogen phosphorylase, hexokinase, malate dehydrogenase, and total lactate dehydrogenase activities. A second group of subjects (n = 6) performed cycle exercise of the same absolute intensity (mean +/- SE = 195 +/- 5 W) at SL and on the 15th day of residence at HA. Before and immediately after exercise, vastus lateralis muscle samples were obtained for the determination of intramuscular pH, and venous blood was obtained for determination of lactate concentration. The first group of subjects showed no significant changes in skeletal muscle enzyme activity after 18 days at HA. The second group of subjects were instructed to exercise for exactly 30 min, and all but one could complete the entire bout at SL. However, at HA, none could continue 30 min, and time to exhaustion (mean +/- SE) was 11.9 +/- 1.6 min. Resting intramuscular pH was not significantly different after HA residence as compared to SL. The fall in intramuscular pH was less with exercise on day 15 at HA than during SL exercise. Likewise, the increase in blood lactate concentration with exercise at HA was less than at SL. These data indicate that, after 15-18 days of HA residence, limitations in exercise performance are not due to inordinate intramuscular acidosis or to changes in the activity of glycolytic and oxidative enzymes.

Activity of several enzymes of the glycogen and carbohydrate metabolism is studied in HT 29 colon adenocarcinoma cell line and in HT 29 tumors developed in nude mice, by reference to the normal human colon mucosa. Activity of glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, pyruvate kinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase is found to be increased in both the cultured cells and the tumors. It indicates that the biochemical strategy of malignant cells, due to the neoplastic transformation process, involves specific changes in the carbohydrate metabolism of tumor as well as in vitro growing correspondent cell line.

The possibility of variability along individual rat and human muscle fibers was assessed for four enzymes and four substances responsive to stimulation. Heterogeneity was determined by the differences between ends of fiber segments several millimeters long and by fluctuations in successive samples along the entire length of such segments. Among the enzymes, a cytosolic enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, varied the least: average coefficient of variation (CV) of 5%. This is only a little greater than the analytic error. On the other hand, the CV for a mitochondrial enzyme, fumarase, was 13%. A mixed cytosolic-mitochondrial enzyme, malate dehydrogenase, was intermediate (CV of 9%). The CV for glycogen phosphorylase, which is normally bound to glycogen particles, was 34% along one fiber segment. Among the nonenzyme components, average CVs in stimulated fibers were 34, 20, 7, and 7%, respectively, for glucose 6-phosphate, phosphocreatine, ATP, and malate. Major differences were not random but developed gradually over distances of 0.5-2 mm along the fibers, and in some cases significant correlations between enzyme and metabolite levels were demonstrable.

Muscle biopsies were obtained from three cyclists and four runners at the end of 10-24 mo of intensive training and after intervals of detraining up to 12 wk. Control samples came from four untrained persons and four former athletes. Macro mixed fiber samples were assayed for lactate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, glycogen phosphorylase, citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, hexokinase, 1-phosphofructokinase, fructosebisphosphatase, protein, and total creatine. In the case of three trained persons and two controls, the first six of the enzymes were also measured in individual fibers. Before detraining, enzymes of oxidative metabolism were substantially higher than in controls, and differences in levels between type I and type II fibers were smaller. During detraining, oxidative enzymes were decreased in both fiber types but the type II fibers did not fall to control levels even after 12 wk. Phosphorylase increased with detraining in both fiber types. The same is true for lactate dehydrogenase and adenylate kinase, except in the case of the type I fibers of one individual. Among the other six enzymes (measured in mixed fiber samples), only hexokinase was consistently affected (decreased) by detraining.

The effect of "weightlessness" on liver metabolism was examined using tissue from rats flown in earth orbit for 18.5 days aboard the Soviet Cosmos 936 biosatellite. Changes in the activities of certain carbohydrate and lipid enzymes were noted. Of the 28 hepatic enzyme activities assayed, two, palmitoyl-CoA desaturase and lactate dehydrogenase, increased, whereas five, glycogen phosphorylase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, both acyltransferases which act on alpha-glycerolphosphate and diglycerides, and aconitate hydratase decreased. The remaining enzyme activities measured were unchanged. In addition, increased levels of liver glycogen and palmitoleate were noted which probably resulted from the lowered glycogen phosphorylase and increased palmitoyl-CoA desaturase activities, respectively, in those animals that experienced weightlessness. These changes caused by weightlessness were transient since all of the aforementioned alterations returned to normal values when measured in the livers of other rats which had flown in the biosatellite 25 days after recovery.

The catalytic activities of several oxidative and glycolytic enzymes were determined in the gastrocnemius muscle of 10 mammalian species differing in body weight by nearly 6 orders of magnitude. When expressed in terms of units gm-1, the activities of enzymes functioning in oxidative metabolism (citrate synthase, beta-hydroxybutyrylCoA dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase) decrease as body weight increases. Log-log plots (activity gm-1 vs body mass) yield straight lines with negative slopes that are less than the allometric exponent (-0.25) typically observed for basal metabolic rates. Since the amount of power a muscle can generate depends upon the catalytic potential of its enzyme machinery (the higher the catalytic potential the higher the maximum rate of energy generation), these data predict that the scope for aerobic activity in large mammals should be greater than in small mammals if nothing else becomes limiting, a result in fact recently obtained by Taylor et al. (Respir. Physiol., 1981). In contrast to the scaling of oxidative enzymes, the activities of enzymes functioning in anaerobic glycogenolysis (glycogen phosphorylase, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase) increase as body size increases. Log-log plots (activity gm-1 vs body mass) display a positive slope indicating that the larger the animal the higher the glycolytic potential of its skeletal muscles. This unexpected result may indicate higher relative power costs for burst type locomotion in larger mammals, which is in fact observed in within-species studies of man. However, the scaling of anaerobic muscle power has not been closely assessed in between-species comparisons of mammals varying greatly in body size.

The effect of daily intraperitoneal administration of Mn2+(4 mg/kg) was investigated on the metabolism of carbohydrates and certain enzymes involved in the oxidation of glucose in the rat liver and blood at the intervals of 30, 60 and 90 days after exposure. Mn2+ had no effect on the contents of blood reducing sugars and proteins, however the levels of pyruvic and lactic acids were reduced at 60 and 90 days after the metal treatment. The contents of liver glycogen and proteins remained unaffected while pyruvic acid content was decreased in Mn2+ treated rat liver throughout the experimental period. The activities of glycogen phosphorylase and lactate dehydrogenase decreased while that of phosphoglucoisomerase and glucose-6-phosphatase increased in the post mitochondrial supernatant at 60 and 90 days of Mn2+ exposure. The levels of hexokinase decreased and FDP-aldolase and fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase increased throughout the experimental period. The magnitude of alteration was found to be greater with the increase in the duration of Mn2+ treatment. Several of the mitochondrial enzymes in the liver were inhibited in the manganese exposed rats which may be responsible to inhibit the rate of dehydrogenation of Kreb cycle's intermediates along with the linked respiratory chain and eventually oxidation in the rat liver.

Enzyme activities of the energy supplying metabolism were investigated in muscle specimens of brachial biceps, deltoid or anterior tibial muscles of patients with traumatic nerve lesions, polyneuropathies, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy and hemiparesis. The key enzymes of glycogenolysis (glycogen phosphorylase), glycolysis (triosephosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase), alpha-glycerophosphate cycle (alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase), beta-oxidation of fatty acids (beta-hydroxy-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase), citrate acid cycle (citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase), hexokinase reaction (hexokinase) and pentosephosphate shunt (6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) were measured. The present study shows that in case of disorders of the lower motor neuron--especially those with impaired axoplasmic transport--changes in the enzyme patterns of muscles occur at an early stage. The glycolytic enzyme activities are of particular significance because they are the most sensitive indicators of the onset, extent and course of neurogenic atrophy. There is a good correlation between severity of the lesion, functional state of the muscles and reduction of these enzyme activities. In case of traumatic nerve lesions re-innervation can prevent a permanent reduction of glycolytic enzymes only if it occurs during the first months after denervation. In all cases in which operative revision is considered, it is therefore not advisible to wait since the regenerative capacity of the motor neuron is not the only limiting factor but also the biochemical and morphological changes in the muscle fibre. These are permanent after long lasting denervation without re-innervation within the first months. Primary neuroaxonal degeneration of the nerve fibre which was found in the majority of our alcoholic patients obviously impairs the metabolism of the muscle to a greater extent than primary demyelination most frequently observed in diabetics with polyneuropathy. Corresponding to the chronic course of the illness over years and to the severity of the pareses, drastic reduction in the activities of glycolytic enzymes was found in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Simultaneously the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was significantly increased as a result of the chronic neurogenic lesion of the muscle fibres. Follow-up during the treatment of diseases of the lower motor neuron can be performed because the enzyme activities can be measured even in small muscle specimens. In patients with hemiparesis slight but not significant reduction in the glycolytic enzyme activities was found by comparison with a normal control group. We assume that this reduction is due to general inactivity which is caused by the movement disorder rather than to the particular influence of the upper motor neuron.

Clarias batrachus L., a freshwater catfish of commercial importance, was exposed to a sublethal concentration of dimethoate (Rogor). The acute effect of dimethoate on some aspects of carbohydrate metabolism of hepatic tissue was studied after 1, 2, 4 and 8 days. The glycogen content was depleted, whereas the lactate level was elevated throughout the experimental period and an increase in lactate dehydrogenase was observed. The activity levels of glycogen phosphorylase a and ab in the hepatic tissue were increased during dimethoate stress. The results suggest that carbohydrate metabolism was adversely affected in the hepatic tissue by the organophosphate insecticide dimethoate.
