The changes in the activities of some mitochondrial and soluble enzymes in the lungs of guinea pig, caused by three varieties of asbestos dust 120 days after intratracheal injection, were studied. Marked increase was observed in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, diaphorase and malic dehydrogenase. Among the soluble enzymes, lactic dehydrogenase showed the maximum variation.

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.

1. Like the malate dehydrogenases of eucaryotic cells, the Propionibacterium shermanii enzyme is a dimer consisting of two 35,000 molecular weight subunits. 2. In electrophoretic behavior, resistance to substrate inhibition and stability to heating and dilution the P. shermanii MDH is more similar to the s-MDH than to the m-MDH of pig heart. 3. The P. shermanii MDH has a high turnover number (ca. 140,000) as well as Km values for both L-malate and oxalacetate which are four times higher than the mammalian isoenzymes. 4. A coupled assay for MDH using the malate-lactate transhydrogenase and diaphorase is described in which both substrates, L-malate and NAD, are regenerated.

Spinal ganlia of a 9-day chick embryo were cultivated by the method of "floating rafts" in common medium (control) and in the medium containing amizyl (100 microgram/ml) or a neuregrowth factor (50 microgram/ml). With the action of amizyl there proved to be an increase in the number of surviving neurons; the majority of these neurons contained monoaminoxidase; there was a rise of NAD-diaphorase activity, and, to a lesser extent, of lactic dehydrogenase and isocitric dehydrogenase activities. The neurogrowth factor caused an increase in the number of nerve cells with acetylcholinesterase; there was an elevation of NAD-diaphorase and some rise of malic dehydrogenase activities; the activity of lactic dehydrogenase became maximal; as to succinic dehydrogenase--its activity was somewhat suppressed.

Effect of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), was investigated on chemical constituents and activity of certain enzymes of rat liver. A significant increase in liver weight; total and relative to body weight; decrease in total, free and esterified cholesterol; and no change in dry weight, moisture; RNA, DNA, total lipids, phospholipids, pyruvic acid and lactic acid contents was observed in liver of DEHP-treated rats as compared to controls. Activity of 3 mitochondrial enzymes, malic dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c-oxidase and diaphorase were significantly decreased while that of NADH-cytochrome c reductase, RNAase and DNAase remained unaltered upon treatment. The results suggest that DEHP exerts its hepatotoxic effects by interfering with bioenergetics of the cell.

Data for the distribution of alleles controlling two blood group systems and secretor status, for hemoglobin types, five serum protein groups and 15 red cell enzyme systems has been obtained. Eleven of the systems showed polymorphic variation and these systems have been used to calculate genetic distances using Morton's Kinship measure. No systematic relationship between genetic distance and geographic location of linguistic affiliation is apparent. There is, however, an apparent cline of decreasing frequency of PGDc from east to west and also significant differences in the frequency of G6PD deficiency corresponding to variation in the ecology of the region. Genetic distance comparisons with other selected populations reveal that the Turkic and Turkoman speaking peoples in the Caspian area cluster with the Kurds, Greeks and Iranis. The Persian speakers are genetically remote from these populations; they are, however, close to the Parsis who migrated from Iran to India at the end of the Seventh Century A.D. Several unusual genetic variants were detected, including a novel MDH phenotype, a superoxide dismutase phenotype identical with the Scandinavian type, and rare forms of LDH, PGM locus 2, ceruloplasmin, diaphorase, peptidases and PHI.

A histichemical study is presented of the activity of some redox enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NAD-diaphorase and lactate dehydrogenase) in 37 cultured human glial brain tumours. The stages of cell activity at different periods of tumour cultivation and the level of their differentiation in the initial tissue were taken into consideration. The examined tumour cultures showed enzymatic cell polymorphizm. During of period of adaptation of explants, the activity of the Krebs cycle enzymes was low to increase during differentiation and proliferation of cultures. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase elevated in tumour cells from cultures of dedifferentiated astrocytomas and glioblastomas mith marked anaplasia. The activity of this enzyme increased also in the course of advanced necrobiotic changes in the tumour cells.

Spinach leaf ferredoxin and ferredoxin:NADP oxidoreductase as well as pig adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase have been purified to homogeneity. Ferredoxin-NADP reductase and adrenodoxin-NADP reductase can perform the same diaphorase reactions (dichloroindophenol, ferricyanide and cytochrome c reduction) albeit not with the same efficiency. Despite the differences in their redox potentials, animal and plant ferredoxins can be used as heterologous substrates by the ferredoxin-NADP reductases from both sources. In heterologous systems, however, the ferredoxin/adrenodoxin concentrations must be increased approximately 100-fold in order to reach rates similar to those obtained in homologous systems. Ferredoxin and adrenodoxin can form complexes with the heterologous reductases as demonstrated by binding experiments on ferredoxin-Sepharose or ferredoxin-NADP-reductase-Sepharose and by the realization of difference spectra. Adrenodoxin also weakly substitutes for ferredoxin in NADP photoreduction, and can be used as an electron carrier in the light activation of the chloroplastic enzyme NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase. In addition adrenodoxin is a good catalyst of pseudocyclic photophosphorylation, but not of cyclic phosphorylation and can serve as a substrate of glutamate synthase. These results are discussed with respect to the known structures of plant and animals ferredoxins and their respective reductases.

The genetic structure of two Chukot Evens subpopulations (314 individuals) for electrophoretic protein systems and taste sensitivity to PTC was studied. 17 of the 39 loci were polymorphic (43.59%). The following systems were completely monomorphic: diaphorase NAD H (Dia); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD); glutamatoxalate transaminase (GOT); carbonic anhydrase (Ca-1); catalase (Ct), lactate dehydrogenase (loci LDH-A and LDH-B); leucine aminopeptidase (Lap); malate dehydrogenase (MDH); purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide phosphorylase (PNP); superoxide dismutase (SOD); phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2); cholinesterase (locus E1); red cell esterase (4 loci); albumin (Alb); hemoglobin (Hb A and B); ceruloplasmin (Cp); and blood, gren, using the standard method. The following systems were polymorphic: red cell acid phosphatase (AcP); phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD); glutamatepyruvate transaminase (GPT); glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1); esterase (EsD); adenilatkinase (AK); alkaline phosphatase (Pp); cholinesterase (locus E2); haptoglobin (Hp); transferrin (Tf); group-specific component (Gc) and ABO, MN, Lewis, P blood groups and taste sensitivity to PTC. The following allele frequencies for polymorphic loci have been detected: AKI = 0.994; GLO = 1I = 0.082; GPT1 = 0.653; AcPA = 0.400; AcPB = 0.599; AcPC = 0.001; PGDA = 0.944; PGM1(1) = 0.906; EsD1 = 0.897; E2+ = 0.048; HpI = 0.394; GcI = 0,919; Tfc = 0.987; r(O) = 0.669; p(A) = 0.184; q(B) = 0.146; M = 0.711; Le = 0.411; P1+ = 0.521; t = 0.295. The genetic structure of Chukot Evens population is significantly nearer to that of the other ethnic groups of the North-East, in comparison with the genetic structure of Evenks of the Middle Siberia.

NADH-diaphorase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (beta-HBDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and cytochrome oxidase (CytO) were demonstrated histochemically in isolated perfused rat hearts during global ischaemia from 0 to 12 hours. The corresponding enzyme activities were measured when possible. The histochemically demonstrable activities of NADH-diaphorase and MDH decreased during the first hour of ischaemia. The time course of inactivation of biochemically detectable NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase was much the same as that of NADH-diaphorase. Both histochemically and biochemically detectable beta-HBDH gradually decreased by about 6 h of ischaemia. NADH-diaphorase but not MDH itself proved to be the rate-limiting factor when demonstrating MDH histochemically with nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), whereas in the case of beta-HBDH the situation was probably the reverse. CytO and SDH activities did not change during the experimental period. Histochemistry clearly demonstrated ischaemic cellular injury, even though no significant diagnostic changes of ischaemia were visible by light microscopy. Even though this shows that enzyme-histochemical methods can be sensitive indicators of early ischaemic injury, in practice the time between the onset of injury and death as well as between death and autopsy must be taken into consideration when interpreting the results.
