The activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase have been determined in secreted milk from sows, rats and rabbits. Within each species, although there was considerable variation in the absolute activities of these enzymes, the relative activities were similar to those observed for, or previously published for mammary homogenates. The only exception was milk glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase which tended to lose activity upon prolonged storage in the mammary gland. These results suggest that the pattern of milk enzymes can be an accurate reflection of that occurring in the mammary gland.

The effects of a 100 g/kg substitution of guar gum on the body-weight gain, food consumption and faecal dry weight of mice fed on a high-sucrose diet and on the activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating) (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.40), ATP-citrate (pro-3S)-lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) were studied. Guar gum had no effect on body-weight gain or food consumption but increased faecal dry weight. Guar gum increased the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating) (NADP+) and 6-phosphofructokinase expressed on a wet-liver-weight basis. Guar gum increased the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating)(NADP+), ATP-citrate (pro-3S)-lyase and 6-phosphofructokinase expressed on a liver-protein basis. Guar gum increased the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating)(NADP+) expressed on a body-weight basis. These results suggest that guar gum increases the flux through some pathways of hepatic lipogenesis when mice are fed on high-sucrose diets.

1. Mammary tissue was obtained from rabbits at various stages of pregnancy and lactation and used for tissue-slice incubations (to measure the rate of fatty acid synthesis and CO(2) production) and to determine relevant enzymic activities. A biphasic adaptation in fatty acid synthetic capacity during lactogenesis was noted. 2. The first lactogenic response occurred between day 15 and 24 of pregnancy. Over this period fatty acid synthesis (from acetate) increased 14-fold and the proportions of fatty acids synthesized changed to those characteristic of milk fat (77-86% as C(8:0)+C(10:0) acids). 3. The second lactogenic response occurred post partum as indicated by increased rates of fatty acid synthesis and CO(2) production (from acetate and glucose) and increased enzymic activities. 4. Major increases in enzymic activities between mid-pregnancy and lactation were noted for ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), acetyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2), fatty acid synthetase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44). Smaller increases in activity occurred with glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) and NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42) and the activity of NADP(+)-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.40) was negligible at all periods tested. 5. During pregnancy and lactation there was a close temporal relationship between fatty acid synthetic capacity and the activities of ATP citrate lyase (r=0.94) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (r=0.90).

Fat-cells were prepared from rat and guinea-pig epididymal adipose tissue and compared on the basis of the intracellular distributions and activities of enzymes and with respect to their utilization of various U-(14)C-labelled substrates for lipogenesis. 1. Compared with the rat, guinea-pig extramitochondrial enzyme activities differed in that aconitate hydratase, alanine aminotransferase, ATP-citrate lyase, lactate dehydrogenase, NAD-malate dehydrogenase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities were appreciably lower, whereas aspartate aminotransferase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities were appreciably higher. Mitochondrial activities of citrate synthase, NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase were appreciably lower, whereas mitochondrial activities of aspartate aminotransferase, glutamate dehydrogenase, NAD-malate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were higher in the guinea pig compared with the rat. 2. In general guinea-pig fat-cells incorporated acetate and lactate into fatty acids more readily than rat fat-cells, whereas rat fat-cells incorporated glucose and pyruvate more readily than guinea-pig fat-cells. 3. Acetate stimulated the incorporation of glucose into fatty acids in rat fat-cells, but had no appreciable effect upon this process in guinea-pig fat-cells. Acetate greatly decreased the incorporation of lactate into fatty acids in cells from both species. 4. Lactate/pyruvate ratios produced by incubation of guinea-pig cells with glucose+insulin were very low compared with those found with rat cells under the same conditions. 5. With glucose (+insulin) or with glucose+acetate (+insulin) as substrates guinea-pig cells produced enough NADPH by the hexose monophosphate pathway to satisfy the NADPH requirements of lipogenesis. In rat fat-cells under the same conditions, hexose monophosphate-pathway NADPH provision was not sufficient to meet the requirements of lipogenesis. 6. These results are discussed, particularly in relationship to the disposition of cytosolic reducing equivalents in the cells.

Crude extracts of both vegetative cells and glycerol-induced microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus contained the following enzyme activities: phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, fructosediphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase. With the exception of isocitrate dehydrogenase, which was present at a fivefold higher concentration in microcysts, all activities in extracts from both types of cells were essentially equal. Hexokinase and pyruvate kinase could not be detected in extracts from either type of cell. Microcysts metabolized acetate at a lower rate than did vegetative cells. Most of this decrease was reflected in a substantial decrease in ability of microcysts to oxidize acetate to CO(2). In addition, microcysts and vegetative cells showed a different distribution of (14)C-label from incorporated acetate.

The mycelial growth front of the band strain of Neurospora grown on a solid surface exhibits a circadian rhythm of conidiation. Enzyme assays on extracts from that mycelium have shown that the activities of 6 of 13 enzymes (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nucleosidase, isocitrate lyase, citrate synthase, glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and soluble-protein content oscillate with the visible morphological change. The rhythmic enzymes associated with the Krebs and glyoxylate cycles are more active during conidiogenesis, whereas the activities of the rhythmic enzymes of glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate shunt are reduced during that phase. The absence of enzyme oscillations in wild-type and fluffy strains which do not form conidia under the conditions employed suggests that the enzyme fluctuations are associated with conidiogenesis itself. Oscillations of enzyme activity as a function of time are restricted to the growth front. A permanent record of rhythmicity associated with conidial and nonconidial regions does, however, exist in the mycelial mat behind the growth front. The activities of three enzymes (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nucleosidase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) are not directly influenced by CO(2) concentration, but are correlated with the prescence or absence of conidiation which is controlled by CO(2) concentration. In contrast, citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase activities are correlated with changes in CO(2) concentration.

1. The activities of some enzymes involved in both the utilization of glucose (pyruvate kinase, ATP citrate lyase, NADP-specific malate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase, all present in the supernatant fraction of liver homogenates) and the formation of glucose by gluconeogenesis (glucose 6-phosphatase in the whole homogenate and fructose 1,6-diphosphatase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, NAD-specific malate dehydrogenase and fumarase in the supernatant fraction) have been determined in rat liver around birth and in the postnatal period until the end of weaning. 2. The activities of those enzymes involved in the conversion of glucose into lipid are low during the neonatal period and increase with weaning. NADP-specific malate dehydrogenase first appears and develops at the beginning of the weaning period. 3. The marked increase in cytoplasmic phosphopyruvate carboxylase activity at birth is probably the major factor initiating gluconeogenesis at that time. 4. The results are discussed against the known changes in dietary supplies and the known metabolic patterns during the period of development.

1. Activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.40), and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) were determined in subcellular fractions of mammary gland from rabbits during pregnancy, at different stages of lactation and during weaning. The results were compared with those obtained in similar experiments with rat mammary gland. 2. Three bases of expression of the activity of enzymes in the particle-free supernatant fraction of mammary gland were compared. During lactation, activity expressed per mg. of particle-free supernatant protein (uncorrected for milk protein) correlated well with that expressed per mug. of DNA phosphorus. The disadvantages of expressing activities per g. wet wt. are discussed. 3. The major differences between the two tissues were: (a) neither malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) nor a soluble form of pyruvate carboxylase could be detected in rabbit mammary gland at any stage of the lactation cycle; (b) isocitrate dehydrogenase increased in activity during lactation in rabbit mammary gland, but not in that of the rat. 4. Pyruvate carboxylase in the mitochondrial fraction of rabbit mammary gland, and in both the mitochondrial and the soluble fractions of rat mammary gland, did not change in activity during lactation. 5. For each tissue, the NADP-dependent dehydrogenases studied had a high activity at all stages of the lactation cycle compared with the rate of fatty acid synthesis at mid-lactation. The significance of these results is discussed with respect to the supply of NADPH via NADH.

1. A method is described for extracting separately mitochondrial and extramitochondrial enzymes from fat-cells prepared by collagenase digestion from rat epididymal fat-pads. The following distribution of enzymes has been observed (with the total activities of the enzymes as units/mg of fat-cell DNA at 25 degrees C given in parenthesis). Exclusively mitochondrial enzymes: glutamate dehydrogenase (1.8), NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase (0.5), citrate synthase (5.2), pyruvate carboxylase (3.0); exclusively extramitochondrial enzymes: glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (5.8), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (5.2), NADP-malate dehydrogenase (11.0), ATP-citrate lyase (5.1); enzymes present in both mitochondrial and extramitochondrial compartments: NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (3.7), NAD-malate dehydrogenase (330), aconitate hydratase (1.1), carnitine acetyltransferase (0.4), acetyl-CoA synthetase (1.0), aspartate aminotransferase (1.7), alanine aminotransferase (6.1). The mean DNA content of eight preparations of fat-cells was 109mug/g dry weight of cells. 2. Mitochondria showing respiratory control ratios of 3-6 with pyruvate, about 3 with succinate and P/O ratios of approaching 3 and 2 respectively have been isolated from fat-cells. From studies of rates of oxygen uptake and of swelling in iso-osmotic solutions of ammonium salts, it is concluded that fat-cell mitochondria are permeable to the monocarboxylic acids, pyruvate and acetate; that in the presence of phosphate they are permeable to malate and succinate and to a lesser extent oxaloacetate but not fumarate; and that in the presence of both malate and phosphate they are permeable to citrate, isocitrate and 2-oxoglutarate. In addition, isolated fat-cell mitochondria have been found to oxidize acetyl l-carnitine and, slowly, l-glycerol 3-phosphate. 3. It is concluded that the major means of transport of acetyl units into the cytoplasm for fatty acid synthesis is as citrate. Extensive transport as glutamate, 2-oxoglutarate and isocitrate, as acetate and as acetyl l-carnitine appears to be ruled out by the low activities of mitochondrial aconitate hydratase, mitochondrial acetyl-CoA hydrolyase and carnitine acetyltransferase respectively. Pathways whereby oxaloacetate generated in the cytoplasm during fatty acid synthesis by ATP-citrate lyase may be returned to mitochondria for further citrate synthesis are discussed. 4. It is also concluded that fat-cells contain pathways that will allow the excess of reducing power formed in the cytoplasm when adipose tissue is incubated in glucose and insulin to be transferred to mitochondria as l-glycerol 3-phosphate or malate. When adipose tissue is incubated in pyruvate alone, reducing power for fatty acid, l-glycerol 3-phosphate and lactate formation may be transferred to the cytoplasm as citrate and malate.

Fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue normally proceeds at a high rate when fasted animals are refed a diet containing carbohydrate, protein, and low levels of fat. This study investigated the effect of omitting protein from the refeeding diet. Rats were fasted for 48 hr and refed either a protein-free diet or a balanced diet, and the rate of fatty acid synthesis from glucose, pyruvate, lactate, and aspartate was measured. Refeeding the animals a diet devoid of protein resulted in a low rate of fatty acid synthesis from each of these substrates as well as a reduction in carbon flow over the citrate cleavage pathway. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and ATP-citrate lyase were also reduced in epididymal fat pads from these rats. On the other hand, adipose tissue phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity was five times as great as that in tissue from animals refed a balanced diet. This difference could be eliminated if actinomycin D was injected coincident with refeeding. Refeeding rats diets high in carbohydrate is not, therefore, capable of inducing high rates of fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue in the absence of dietary proteins. Thus, liver and adipose tissue respond differently to dietary protein.
