A histochemical study of steroid synthesizing cellular sites in the ovaries of Calotes versicolor (Daud.), Hemidactylus flavivirdes (Ruppel) and Chamaeleon calcaratus (Boulenger) is discussed. THe distribution of delta 5-3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide diaphorase enzyme activities was studied in ovaries of the 3 species of lizards. All the enzyme activities occurred in 1) patches of cells of theca interna; 2) granulosa cells of large preovulatory, postovulatory, and atretic follicles; 3) interstitial cells of the ovarian stroma; and in the 4) ooplasm of the growing oocyte, suggesting their steroidogenic capacity. It was observed that following completion of follicular atresia, the phagocytic granulosa cells degenerate and the remaining cells of theca interna contribute to the formation of interstitial gland cells.

1. Blowfly (Phormia regina) flight-muscle mitochondria were allowed to oxidize pyruvate under a variety of experimental conditions, and determinations of the citrate, isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate and malate contents of both the mitochondria and the incubation medium were made. For each intermediate a substantial portion of the total was present within the mitochondria. 2. Activation of respiration by either ADP or uncoupling agent resulted in a decreased content of citrate and isocitrate and an increased content of 2-oxoglutarate and malate when the substrate was pyruvate, APT and HCO3 minus. Such a decrease in citrate content was obscured when the substrate was pyruvate and proline owing to a large rise in the total content of tricarboxylate-cycle intermediates in the presence of proline and ADP. 3. An experiment involving oligomycin and uncoupling agent demonstrated that the ATP/ADP ratio is the main determinant of flux through the tricarboxylate cycle, with the redox state of nicotinamide nucleotide being of lesser importance. 4. Addition of ADP and Ca-2+ to activate the oxidation of both glycerol 3-phosphate and pyruvate, simulating conditions on initiation of flight, gave a decrease in citrate and isocitrate and an increase in 2-oxoglutarate and malate content. 5. There was a good correlation between these results with isolated flight-muscle mitochondria and the changes found in fly thoraces after 30s and 2 mihorax. 6. It is concluded that NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41) controls the rate of pyruvate oxidation in both resting fly flight muscle in vivo and isolated mitochondria in state 4 (nomenclature of Change & Williams, 1955).

The effects of physical training on beta-adrenergic-receptor density (Bmax) and adenylate cyclase (AC) activity in soleus muscles (type I) and the deep red portion (type IIa) and superficial white portion (type IIb) of vastus lateralis muscles in diabetic rats were investigated. Rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin ([STZ] 45 mg/kg intravenously [IV]) and were either kept sedentary ([SD] n = 12) or submitted to a progressive 10-week treadmill running program ([TD] n = 13). A group of normal sedentary rats served as controls ([SC] n = 13). Plasma glucose levels were increased in SD rats in comparison with SC rats (21.3 +/- 1.4 mmol/L v 7.7 +/- 0.2; mean +/- SE, P < .001), but levels were partially reversed to normal by training (10.7 +/- 1.7; P < .01 v SD). The gastrocnemius nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) activity was significantly increased in TD rats in comparison to SC or SD rats (P < .001). The Bmax and antagonist affinity (Kd) determined with 125iodocyanopindolol (ICYP) were not affected by diabetes in any of the three types of muscle. In type I muscle, TD rats showed a significant 67% increase in Bmax compared with that of SD rats (TD 26.7 +/- 2.0 v SD 16.0 +/- 1.0; P < .001). In type IIa muscle, Bmax was significantly higher by 68% in TD rats as compared with SD rats (TD 16.5 +/- 1.7 v SD 9.8 +/- 0.9 fmol/mg protein; P < .01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

During operation, biopsies from the gastrocnemius muscle and, in some cases, from the sartorius muscle were taken from 32 patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease and from 5 subjects with normal peripheral circulation. In patients with inadequate circulation only during exercise, when compared with the control group, increased activities of enzymes involved in oxidative metabolism (malate dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome C oxidase, creatine kinase), in amino acid metabolism (asparate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase), and in anaerobic glycoysis (lactate dehydrogenase) were found. In patients with circulatory disturbances that manifested themselves already at rest, enzyme activities were, with the exception of LDH, lower than those of patients with exclusively exercise-related insufficiency. By means of intraindividual comparisons with the corresponding enzyme activities in the sartorius muscle, the author was able to show that the changes found were not simply the result of differences in training conditions. The diminished concentrations of energy-rich phosphate are an expression of the anaerobic metabolic state in patients with inadequate circulation at rest. It is concluded that chronic ischemia of muscle leads to changes in the energy metabolism of the cell. In the presence of more nearly adequate circulation at rest, the portion of oxidative potential of the total energy metabolism increases. In contrast, if there is an inadequate circulation at rest, the mainly anaerobic glycolysis becomes quantitatively predominant.

Patients treated for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage show, in the long-term follow up, an elevated rate of cognitive disturbances that are mainly related to the impact of the initial bleeding: the neurotoxic effects of blood deposition in subarachnoidal spaces may result in a diffuse encephalopathy, but the intrinsic mechanism and the biochemical correlates are not known. In the present study we have evaluated mitochondrial function after experimental induction of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Mitochondrial function was evaluated in four different rat brain areas (frontal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, and brain stem) after experimental isobaric subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was induced by injecting 0.07 mL of arterial autologous blood into the cisterna magna. Intracranial pressure did not significantly increase. The nonsynaptic mitochondrial fraction was isolated from different rat brain areas, and the maximal rate of enzymatic reactions of some key enzymatic activities related to the Krebs cycle [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidized form) (NAD+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and succinate dehydrogenase] and of the electron transfer chain (cytochrome oxidase) were evaluated. The nonsynaptic mitochondrial fraction was utilized also to check parameters related to the mitochondrial respiration: state 3, state 4, uncoupled state, respiratory control ratio, and adenosine 5'-diphosphate/oxygen ratio. The biochemical parameters were measured at 1 and 72 hours after the subarachnoidal injection of blood. Subarachnoid hemorrhage did not affect the mitochondrial enzymatic activities both at 1 and 72 hours, while the mitochondrial enzymatic activities parameters were significantly affected: in particular, a significant decrease of respiratory control ratio in all tested brain areas was demonstrated. The increased mitochondrial vulnerability in the delayed phases could be one of the biochemical correlates of post-hemorrhagic encephalopathy.

NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from pig heart is an allosteric enzyme that is activated by ADP and is inhibited by NADPH in the presence of NADH. Transferred nuclear Overhauser effect measurements, made at a range of times to ensure that observed effects are due to direct dipole-dipole transfer and not to spin diffusion, were used to determine the conformations of pyridine nucleotide coenzymes and of the allosteric effector ADP. For NAD+, significant effects were observed on the N2 proton (on the nicotinamide ring) when the N1' proton (on the nicotinamide ribose) was saturated and on the N6 proton when the N2' proton was saturated, indicating that the conformation of the nicotinamide-ribose moiety is anti. The anti conformation is expected because of the stereospecificity of NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and is the same as for NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. For the adenosine moiety of NAD+, the predominant nuclear Overhauser effect on the A8 proton is found when the A2' proton is saturated. This result implies that the adenine-ribose bond is anti with respect to the ribose. Previous kinetic and binding studies of ADP activation have shown an influence of divalent metal ions. The conformation of bound ADP, in the presence of Mg2+ and/or Ca2+, is found to be anti about the adenine-ribose bond. The 3'H-8H distance increases when Ca2+ is added to the Mg-ADP-enzyme complex. Changes in the 4'H-1'H distance upon addition of isocitrate are indicative of interactions between the ADP activator site and the isocitrate site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A study was made of the effect of alimentary deficiency of niacin and of exogenous nicotinamide (500 mg/kg) on the activity of the key enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway and NADP-dependent malate and isocitric dehydrogenase in the epididymal fatty tissue of rats. It is established that vitamin depletion in the animals' body brings about a 3-fold decrease in the content of NADP+ and a 1.7-fold decrease in the content of NADPH, a 43-percent inhibition of the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and a 39-percent reduction with respect to transketolase. Nicotinamide suppresses the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase by 35% and that of isocitric dehydrogenase by 40% 12 hours after intraperitoneal injection. It is suggested that NADPH production in the fatty tissue of rats undergoes appreciable changes under the effect of niacin.

In order to elucidate the problem of which cells are involved in calcium transport and to estimate the role of mitochondria in calcium transport in the avian shell gland, the fine structure and the Ca-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD+-ICDH) activity of the shell gland of egg-laying Japanese quails were examined. The surface epithelial cells, consisting of ciliated cells with cilia and microvilli and non-ciliated cells with microvilli, had many large and electron-dense granules. The tubular-gland cells occupied the proprial layer and lacked secretory granules. When an egg was in the shell gland, the well-developed mitochondria of tubular-gland cells characteristically tended to accumulate in the apical cytoplasm, while they were scattered throughout the cytoplasm when an egg was not in the shell gland. Intense Ca-ATPase activity was found on the microvilli of tubular-gland cells, and moderate activity was found on the lateral-cell surface. In the surface epithelial cells, the basolateral cell surface showed moderate enzymatic activity. Both SDH and NAD+-ICDH activity were found in tubular-gland cells when an egg was in the shell gland. These results strongly suggest that calcium for eggshell calcification is actively transported by the tubular-gland (depending on Ca-ATPase activity) and that the mitochondria of gland cells may play an important role in this process as an energy source.

The 2',3'-dialdehyde nicotinamide ribose derivatives of NAD (oNAD) and NADH (oNADH) have been prepared enzymatically from the corresponding 2',3'-dialdehyde analogs of NADP and NADPH. Pig heart NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase requires NAD as coenzyme but binds NADPH, as well as NADH, ADP, and ATP, at regulatory sites. Incubation of 1-3 mM oNAD or oNADH with this isocitrate dehydrogenase causes a time-dependent decrease in activity to a limiting value 40% that of the initial enzyme, suggesting that reaction does not occur at the catalytic coenzyme site. Upon varying the concentration of oNAD or oNADH from 0.2 to 3 mM, the inactivation rate constants increase in a nonlinear manner, consistent with reversible binding of oNAD and oNADH to the enzyme prior to covalent reaction. Inactivation is accompanied by incorporation of radioactive reagent with extrapolation to 0.54 mol [14C]oNAD or 0.45 mol [14C]oNADH/mol average enzyme subunit (or about 2 mol reagent/mol enzyme tetramer) when the enzyme is maximally inactivated; this value corresponds to the number of reversible binding sites for each of the natural ligands of isocitrate dehydrogenase. The protection against oNAD or oNADH inactivation by NADH, NADPH, and ADP (but not by isocitrate, NAD, or NADP) indicates that reaction occurs in the region of a nucleotide regulatory site. In contrast to the effects of oNAD and oNADH, oNADP and oNADPH cause total inactivation of the NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, concomitant with incorporation, respectively, of about 3.5 mol [14C]oNADP or 1.3 mol [14C]oNADPH/mol average subunit. Reaction rates exhibit a linear dependence on [oNADP] or [oNADPH] and protection by natural ligands against inactivation is not striking. These results imply that oNADP and oNADPH are acting in this case as general chemical modifiers and indicate the importance of the free adenosine 2'-OH of oNAD and oNADH for specific labeling of the NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. The new availability of 2',3'-dialdehyde nicotinamide ribose derivatives of NAD, NADH, NADP, and NADPH may allow selection of the appropriate reactive coenzyme analog for affinity labeling of a variety of dehydrogenases.

1. Toluene-permeabilized rat heart mitochondria have been used to study the regulation of NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase by Ca2+, adenine and nicotinamide nucleotides, and to compare the properties of the enzymes in situ, with those in mitochondrial extracts. 2. Although K0.5 values (concn. giving half-maximal effect) for Ca2+ of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase were around 1 microM under all conditions, corresponding values for NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase were in the range 5-43 microM. 3. For both enzymes, K0.5 values for Ca2+ observed in the presence of ATP were 3-10-fold higher than those in the presence of ADP, with values increasing over the ADP/ATP range 0.0-1.0. 4. 2-Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase was less sensitive to inhibition by NADH when assayed in permeabilized mitochondria than in mitochondrial extracts. Similarly, the Km of NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase for threo-Ds-isocitrate was lower in permeabilized mitochondria than in extracts under all the conditions investigated. 5. It is concluded that in the intact heart Ca2+ activation of NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase may not necessarily occur in parallel with that of the other mitochondrial Ca2+-sensitive enzymes, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and the pyruvate dehydrogenase system.
