In vivo administration of L-thyroxine (L-T4) in Anabas testudineus, while significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome c oxidase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), inhibited glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (cyt. MDH; mit. MDH), and Mg2+ DNP-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+ ATPase) activities. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and catalase remained unaltered after L-T4 treatment. Administration of protein synthesis inhibitors such as actinomycin D, while significantly inhibited cytochrome oxidase, alpha-GPDH, catalase, SDH, and Mg2+ ATPase activities, did not change LDH, cyt. MDH, and mit. MDH activities. Chloramphenicol injection significantly stimulated cytochrome oxidase, alpha-GPDH, and G-6-PDH activities. Simultaneous injections of actinomycin D or chloramphenicol with 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (L-T3) or L-T4 prevented the effects of thyroid hormones on enzyme activities, when compared to the respective controls.

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.

Enzyme electrophoretic variants were studied in 49 strains of Vibrio cholerae using zymovar analysis. The following seven enzymes were selected for use: alanine dehydrogenase (ADH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). The results indicated the presence of three main groups defined chiefly by their GPI and 6PGDH variants. The first group, defined by possessing the variants GPI-2 and 6PGDH-3, contained all the 01 serovar and E1T or biovar isolates from cholera cases. The second group, defined by possessing the variants GPI-3 and 6PGDH-2, contained all the 01 serovar and classical biovar isolates; the third group was heterogeneous and included the 01 serovar isolates from environmental sources as well as isolates of other serovars (the so called NAGs, non-agglutinable with 01 antisera or NCVs). It is thus now possible to separate the epidemic strains of 01 serovar from other members of this serovar isolated from the environment. Zymovar analysis deals with differences which are a direct expression of the genome and seems to be unaffected by gross phenotypic changes such as smooth-rough variation and phage resistance. It is a promising tool for investigating bacteriological and epidemiological questions, in particular the significance of an environmental reservoir of cholera.

The effects of different cerebro-protective agents on selected key enzymes of the energy metabolism of rat primary glial cultures and rat cerebral cortex were studied. As indicators for the capacity of the most important pathways of energy metabolism the following enzyme activities were determined: hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P-DH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), and cytochrome-c-reductase (CCR). After a one week growth period, rat glial cultures were incubated for 3 or 4 weeks with the substances to be tested. Bencyclane (5 X 10(-5) mol/l) increased the activities of HK, G-6-P-DH, and LDH, whereas PFK and CCR were reduced. Pyritinol (10(-4) mol/l) led to a higher G-6-P-DH activity, simultaneously lowering the values for PFK, CCR, PK, LDH, and MDH. Under the influence of an extract of the leaves of Ginkgo bilobae (EGB; 100 mg/l) PFK, LDH, and MDH activities were reduced. All these alterations in enzyme activities went along with simultaneous reductions in protein content, therefore not allowing to exclude toxic effects with regard to the doses used. Moreover, direct interference with the analytical procedure was demonstrable for bencyclane and EGB. Piracetam (10(-3) mol/l), flunarizine (10(-6) mol/l), dihydroergocristine (5 X 10(-6) mol/l), and nicergoline (5 X 10(-6) mol/l) failed to induce any alteration in the employed doses. The most striking effects were obtained with meclofenoxate which was tested at 10(-3) and 10(-4) mol/l. The higher dose caused an elevation of HK, PFK, CCR, G-6-P-DH, GDH and MDH activities, while slightly reducing PK. With the lower dose of meclofenoxate CCR and G-6-P-DH activities were increased. Short-term incubation of the cultures with 10(-3) mol/l meclofenoxate for 24 hr led to an increase in LDH, G-6-P-DH, and GDH activities. Chronic incubation with meclofenoxate (10(-3) mol/l) followed by 48 hr deprivation of the drug resulted in elevated HK, PFK, CCR, G-6-P-DH, GDH, and MDH activities. These changes were accompanied by alterations in related metabolite levels. These include elevations in the concentration of creatine phosphate and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, whereas glucose-6-phosphate levels were reduced. After one week of meclofenoxate deprivation the activities of CCR and G-6-P-DH were still elevated. The metabolites of meclofenoxate dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE; 10(-3) mol/l) and p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (10(-3) mol/l) were also investigated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A total of 215 Lepchas (75 Buddhists and 140 Christians) living in the Kalimpong subdivision, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India, were investigated for the distribution of haemoglobin, serum proteins and red cell enzymes. The gene frequencies were as follows: HbE = 0.02; Hp1 = 0.18; TfB = 0.007; TfDChi = 0.005; Gc2 = 0.22; pa = 0.18; pc = 0.03; PGM2(1) = 0.18; PGM6(1) = 0.002; PGDc = 0.17; AK2 = 0.02; GLO1 = 0.21. The most striking features were the complete lack of G6PD deficiency and very high frequency of PGDC. The remaining loci (serum albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphohexose isomerase and superoxide dismutase) were monomorphic. The gene frequencies were similar in the Buddhist and Christian Lepchas. The observed average heterozygosity (9 loci) was 0.20 in the entire sample.

Serum protein (albumin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin and group-specific component), haemoglobin, and red cell enzyme (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, esterase D, adenylate kinase, glyoxalase I, phosphoglucomutase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, phosphohexose isomerase and superoxide dismutase) polymorphisms were studied among the Bengali Muslims of Bangladesh. In general, the gene frequencies of the polymorphic systems were similar to those in West Bengal and Assam. There appears to be a relatively strong Mongoloid influence in the present population as evidenced by the presence of HbE and TfDChi, higher frequencies of Hp1 and GcIF, and a lower AK2 frequency.

The absolute values of several enzymes present in polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells isolated from subjects catalogued as Type II diabetics that never received insulin to control their hyperglycemia are reported. PMN from the blood of fasting diabetics and a control group were isolated by the dextran flotation technique. The enzymes were assayed in whole homogenates prepared by sonication of the cells. Serum glucose and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) were also determined from the same blood sample. We found a 40% decrease in the levels of phosphofructokinase (39.7 +/- 3.0 vs 66.1 +/- 6.3 mU/mg, P less than 0.001) and lactate dehydrogenase (350 +/- 22 vs 583 +/- 49 mU/mg, P less than 0.001) and a 25% decrease in malate dehydrogenase (250 +/- 29 vs 341 +/- 20 mU/mg, P less than 0.01). No differences in hexokinase (16.3 +/- 1.7 vs 18.2 +/- 1.7 mU/mg, P greater than 0.1) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (66.6 +/- 2.5 vs 76.3 +/- 5.7 mU/mg, P greater than 0.05) were detected. These patients had normal or elevated levels of IRI (22.9 +/- 2.8 vs 14.5 +/- 2.4 microU/ml, P less than 0.05) concomitant with hyperglycemia (162.7 +/- 10.2 vs 78.0 +/- 1.6 mg/dl, P less than 0.001), revealing some degree of insulin resistance. It appears that glycolysis is affected not only at the phosphofructokinase step but beyond this point, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is not affected, and defective insulin action more than the lack of insulin might be responsible for the metabolic alteration.

A single administration of nicotinamide (62.5 mg/kg) was found to enhance the relative activity of exogenous insulin, to decrease glucose level in the peripheral blood, to increase the activity of malate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver cytosol in intact mice and to increase the rate of exogenous glucose utilization in rabbits. The character of nicotinamide effect on carbohydrate metabolism in intact animals is suggested to be dose-dependent. When administered in low doses, the drug increases tissue sensitivity to endo- and exogenous insulin.

The effects of a 100 g/kg diet substitution of bagasse on the body-weight gain, food consumption and faecal dry weight of mice given a high-sucrose diet and on the activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC I.I.I.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC I.I.I.44), malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating) (NADP+) (EC I.I.I.40), ATP-citrate (pro-3S) lyase (EC 4.I.3.8), 6-phosphofructokinase EC 2.7.I.II), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.I.40) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.I.3.II) were studied. Bagasse had no effect on body-weight gain, food consumption or faecal dry weight. Bagasse decreased the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase expressed on a wet weight basis and on a protein basis. Bagasse decreased the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase expressed on a body-weight basis. These results suggest that bagasse decreases the flux through some pathways of hepatic lipogenesis when mice are given high-sucrose diets.

As part of a series of epidemiological and ecological studies of leishmaniasis in Jordan, we have made functional studies of four isolates from human lesions and from ear lesions of three field-collected Psammomys obesus. Primary isolates were subcultured, frozen stabilates prepared and BALB/c mouse infectivity experiments initiated. Each mouse was inoculated with 4-8 x 10(4) promastigotes into a hind footpad. Quantitative evaluation of the footpads showed enlargement three to four weeks postinoculation. Amastigotes were readily identified in smears from footpad lesions and promastigotes in culture. At 47 days, liver and spleen samples grew out promastigotes. Biochemical characterization of these seven isolates was made by isozyme analysis using cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis of fructokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphoglucomutase, aspartate aminotransferase, malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Reference isolates used for comparison were Leishmania major, L. tropica minor, L. donovani, L. aethiopica and L. m. mexicana. All seven Jordan isolates showed enzyme electromorphs identical to L. major, confirming our ecological/epidemiological studies that P. obesus is a major reservoir for human cutaneous leishmaniasis in Jordan.
