Tests were carried out on the influence of alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus on the metabolism and the ultrastructure of ovaries of juvenile rats. The diabetes mellitus caused the following changes in the metabolism: reduction in the concentration of ATP and NADPH, increase in the lactate/pyruvate quotient to above 40, reduction in the ATP/ADP quotient to below 1, reduction in the level of activity of the hydrogen-conveying enzymes G-6-P-dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, increase in the level of activity of the alkaline phosphatase, reduction of the protein content. Ultrastructure: almost complete disappearance of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, shrinkage of the mitochondria, reduction of the cristae and condensation of the matrix. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum remains unchanged, the extent of the Golgi-complex is reduced. Easy removal of the lipid deposits.

The cerebral metabolic effects of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 min exposure to 1% CO were studied in lightly anesthetized rats by measurement of cerebral cortical contents of selected glycolytic and citric acid cylce intermediates, as well as tissue energy phosphates. The initial change in the glycolytic sequence occurred at 2.5 min with decreases in tissue glucose and glucose-6-phosphate and increases in fructose-1-6-diphosphate which indicated an activation of phosphofructokinase and hexokinase. The "crossover" pattern between glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-1,6-diphosphate was present at 5, 7.5 and 10 min, but not at 20, 30 and 60 min and thus confirmed previous observations that detection of phosphofructokinase activation in acute unifactorial cerebral hypoxia requires tissue study during the early phases of the experimental exposure. The initial activation of phosphofructokinase occurred in the absence of detectable changes in the tissue content of ATP, ADP, AMP or phosphocreatine and therefore suggested that an imbalance of tissue energy homeostasis is not a prerequisite for the activation of glycolysis in CO intoxication. One percent CO resulted in an increasing malate/oxaloacetate ratio at 5 min, followed by a decrease in alpha-ketoglutarate and aspartate at 7.5 min which suggested a shift in the aspartate aminotransferase reaction towards the replenishment of oxaloacetate removed via the malate dehydrogenase reaction. Subsequent increases in alpha-ketoglutarate at 10, 20, 30 and 60 min were associated with increases in alanine, indicating a contributing role for a secondary shift of the alanine aminotransferase reaction in the replenishment of alpha-ketoglutarate. A comparison of the CO induced changes in the glycolytic and citric acid cycle pathways with those seen in acute hypoxemia indicates no basic qualitative differences in the metabolic responses of brain tissue to the two conditions.

For the characterization of null mutants identified in Drosophila populations, several Drosophila enzymes including alcohol dehydrogenase, cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphoglucose isomerase were co-purified to homogeneity using an 8-(6-aminohexyl)-amino-ATP-Sepharose affinity column followed by DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography. Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase was purified by the use of CM-Sepharose and the same ATP affinity column. Alcohol dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase were mapped on a two-dimensional gel. Antiserum was raised in rabbits against these Drosophila enzymes. The presence of cross-reacting material in null mutants was characterized by double immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. By immunological techniques, two natural null variants of malic enzyme and one of phosphoglucose isomerase were shown to be negative to cross-reacting material. Two low-dose-rate gamma-radiation-induced null mutants of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase were shown to be positive to cross-reacting material. Two-dimensional gel analyses enabled the characterization of three natural null variants of alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase. The viability of some null mutants with homozygous null or null/deficiency genotypes is discussed in terms of the in vivo metabolic roles of the related enzymes.

Scolices and brood capsules of healthy hydatid cysts from lungs of human patients were studied with histochemical and histoenzymatic methods. The subtegumental and flame cells were sepcially rich in glycogen, RNA and some dehydrogenases such as SDH, MDH, NADH-reductase and G-6-PDH. The rostellar zone or invaginated pole, an area of marked contractile movements, showed intense activity in ATP'ase and simple esterase. The so-called excretory pole shows strong activity in simple esterases, lipase, beta-HBH, alpha-GDH and NADPH-reductase. Lipids are also abundant in this zone implying the important role of this metabolic path in the development of the parasite. Intense activity in alkaline phosphatase was observed in cells associated to the calcereous corpuscles. The largest corpuscles were devoid of enzymatic activity. The enzyme could play some role in the calcification of the corpuscles. Wide enzymatic variations are described according to morphology being orthoscolices the most rich in enzyme activity. Accumulations of small cells surrounded by specialized cells on the germinal membrane are interpreted as the origin or "embryo" of brood capsules. Some enzymes detected in the wall of mature brood capsules depicted alternating types of cells. Some of them are positive for ATP'ase that may be related to active transport of substances across the brood capsule wall. The intenst ATP'ase activity at the stalks of scolices may be similarly interpreted. However, a miosine-like activity is a more feasible explanation since this area showed striking contractile movements in vivo.

In a group of ten adult obese subjects, maintained for 15 days on a normal caloric intake and balanced diet, the activity of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1),6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), and ATP citratelyase (EC 4.1.3.8) in the adipose tissue was significantly increased, both on a protein and on a fat cell number basis, compared to matched normal subjects. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), and malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP) (EC 1.1.1.40), on the other hand, was unchanged. Since both hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase are rate-limiting in glycolysis, their enhanced activity would indicate the occurrence of an increased capacity to metabolize glucose and therefore to generate alpha-glycerophosphate. The elevation of ATP citrate-lyase would suggest increased lipogenesis, owing to the regulatory role that this enzyme plays in fatty acid synthesis. The normal activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP), which supply NADPH for the reduction of acetyl-CoA to fatty acids, would suggest that the change in lipogenesis is of moderate degree, thereb) affecting only the most rate-limiting enzyme, ATP citrate-lyase. These data, on the whole, are consistent with the occurrence of enhanced triglyceride formation. Whether the enzyme changes observed are adaptive or genetic in nature remains to be clarified.

The modifications of enzymatics activities which involved dehydrogenases (LDH, MDH and G6PDH) alkalines phosphatases (Ph. Alc., ATP/as at Ph 7,2 and Ph 9,4) and hydrolases (Ph Ac. and beta Glu) were studied during the experimental deciduomata evolution in the Rat from the 5th to the 9th day. One the 5th day the uterus were used as control. Dehydrogenases and alkalines phosphatases activites appeared in isolated cells of sub-epithelial and middle antimesometrial stroma on the 5th day. Then, on the 6th day, they distributed themselves in strings of 8 to 10 cells. On the 7th day, they were regulary arranged in the decidual area. The growing decidual tissue was always surrounded by an hydrolysis activity.

During the ischemic shock caused by the removal of tourniquets placed on the hind paws of the rat, a marked decrease in the enzyme activities of Krebs cycle yielding ATP (malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase) at the level of the gastrocnemius muscle and the liver, was observed together with a plasma increase of these enzymes. The intraperitoneal injection of ATP diminishes significantly the variations observed.

The developmental peculiarities of the rabbit lung were analyzed in foetuses of 14 and 23 days, and in newborns having respired 30 min. and 48 hrs. Cytochemical, histoenzymatic and quantiative cytologic methods were used. The parallel evolution of epithelial and mesenchymal cells was quantified using conventional fields. The development of air spaces was morphometrically appreciated. Acid and neutral mucopolysaccarides, nucleic acids, and enzymic activities (AcPh-ase, AlkPh-ase, ATP-ase, AMP-ase, SDH, MDH, LDG, G1-6-ph-DH, proline-oxydase, hydroxyproline-2-epimerase, unspecific esterase, TwE-ase, beta-gal-ase and beta-gluc-ase, alanyl- and leucineaminopeptidase) were investigated. This complex analysis showed that in a first phase the development mainly involved the epithelial cells, while the proliferation of mesenchymal ones remained constant. In a second phase, the epithelial cell increase became slower, and the mesenchymal cells were decreasing. At the same time the air spaces were continuously increasing. During this process, neutral mucopolysaccharides were synthesized in epithelial cells and in cartilaginous nodules, and sometimes in mesenchymal cells. The RNA was continuously increasing both in epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The high enzymic activities in the 14-day foetuses appeared to be limited to AcPh-ase, AlkPh-ase, and SDH in both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, the LDH in epithelial and the ATP-ase and AMP-ase mainly in mesenchymal cells. At the same time, the G1-6-ph-DH obviously marked the epithelial cell differentiation. In the other foetal and newborn lungs, the enzymic activities appeared to be more various by limitation of AcPh-ase to epithelial elements and of AlkPh-ase to mesenchymal and vascular ones, by activation of proline-oxydase and especially of hydroxyproline-2-epimerase in pleura and peribronchovascularly, by intensification of the unspecific esterase: the other enzymes active in the 14-day foetuses were now weaker. The activity of beta-gal-ase, beta-gluc-ase, and of peptidases was missing during the entire development of the foetal rabbit lung. The corroboration of these data suggested the relation between the differentiation of enzymic activities and the development of foetal rabbit lung, the strong relations between AcPh-ase activity and the epithelial elements, and of AlkPh-ase and ATP-ase with the mesodermo-mesenchymal ones, the marking of epithelial cell differentiation by the G1-6-ph-DH activity, the presence of SDH in the basal corpuscles of differentiating cili, the increase of enzymes making inactive the hydroxyproline in zones in which connective tissue is developing, the low differentiation of hydrolases (related to the absence of air and blood transport of products) and the lack of peptidase activity corresponding to the reduced pulmonary degradation of proteins (as in adult lungs).

Human adult lung fragments removed from macroscopically undamaged and anthracosis exempted zones of lungs of 20 pneumonectomies made for cancer, were tested for 25 enzymic activities. The location and intensities of these enzymic activities were different in the lung tissue components; The bronchial epithelia contained highly active LDH, MDH, SDH, NADH-TR and NADPH-TR, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, active hydroxyproline-2-epimerase, alkaline phosphatase. Ca2+-activated ATP-ase, and beta-galactosidase. Bronchial and vascular muscles presented intense activities of LDH, MDH and SDH of alkalinephosphatase, AMP-ase and Ca2+-activated ATP-ase, as well as of beta-galactosidase. The alveolar walls presented high activities of SDH, MDH and LDH, of alkaline and acid phosphatases, of beta-galactosidase and of Tween-40 and 60-esterases, of HEP, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase. The free alveolar macrophages were active for LDH, MDH, SDH, NADH-TR and NADPH-TR, G1-6-ph-DH, acid and alkaline phosphatase, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase, HEP, AMP-ase and Mg2+-activated ATP-ase, Tween-esterases, naphthol-ASD-acetate esterase, and beta-galactosidase. The endothelia contained high activities of alkaline phosphatase, of AMP-ase and Mg2+-activated ATPase, of LDH, MDH and SDH, and of beta-galactosidase. In bronchial lymphoid nodules it was the LDH, MDH, SDH, cytochrome-oxidase and peroxidase, HEP, alkaline phosphatase and AMP-ase, Tween-60-esterase and beta-galactosidase that were active. The interlobular areas of the lung presented intense activities of SDH, MDH, LDH, HEP and cytochrome-oxidase. The activities of the other tested enzymes were weaker or absent in the adult human lung components, the same as those of aminopeptidases which were present only in some free alveolar macrophages. The discussion of some relationships between these enzymic actitivies and the morphology of the human adult lung tissue asserted that the latter could not be considered as a "normal" tissue but as one overstrained by the components of blood and polluted air.

It was observed that borosilicate glass prefilters have a high absorptive capacity for isolated rat-liver mitochondria and that this binding does not need any kind of chemical procedure. This observation has led to the development of a perifusion technique for isolated rat-liver mitochondria. During perifusion the mitochondria are immobilized on a prefilter. Their morphological and functional intactness is conserved. During the course of the perifusion no loss of marker enzymes (adenylate kinase and malate dehydrogenase) can be detected. The respiration rates in the controlled and the active state are similar to those observed in a conventional closed polarographic vessel. The respiratory control is maintained for more than 30 min. With the perifusion technique it is possible to adjust respiration rates to stationary steady states between the controlled and the active state. It was shown that the control of respiration by the extramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratio is independent of the succinate concentration in the range of 1 to 10 mM.
