The effects of one vs. two episodes of starvation-refeeding were studied in young male rats as a function of elapsed time between the two episodes of starvation-refeeding. Starved-refed rats ate more and gained weight faster than ad libitum-fed rats. The difference in weight gains could be attributed to the greater amount of body fat in the starved-refed rats. The responses of four NADP-linked liver dehydrogenases:isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD)/LS-isocitrate:NADP oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.42), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)/D-glucose-6-phosphate:NADP oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.49); 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD/6-phospho-D-gluconate:NADP oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.44); and malic enzyme (ME)/L-malate:NADP oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.40) were studied. Starvation-refeeding caused an overshoot of G6PD, 6PGD, and ME, but not of ICD. A second episode of starvation caused an even greater enzyme overshoot; this difference persisted for 3 weeks with G6PD and for 2 weeks with 6PGD and ME. No significant differences in blood cholesterol were detected.

1. Oxidative dissimilation has been studied in enzymes from the honey bee. Using mitochondria isolated from the thoraces, complete oxidation of most of the TCA cycle members has been shown. 2. The presence of the acetate-activating enzyme, citrate-condensing enzyme, isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate, and 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase has been demonstrated and the cofactor requirements established. 3. The oxidation of isocitric acid has been shown to be either non-specific for the D- or L-isomer, or the presence of a racemase is indicated. 4. The presence of the pentose cycle is indicated in the soluble portion of the thoracic homogenate.

A histochemical method is described for the localization of triphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase using a recently synthesized tetrazolium salt (Nitro-BT). By virtue of the favorable histochemical properties of this reagent, it has been possible to demonstrate that whereas DPN diaphorase is usually restricted to the mitochondria, the TPN diaphorase activity of corresponding cells was distributed throughout the cytoplasm in granules too fine to be considered mitochondria. Furthermore, although the diaphorase alone is responsible for the passage of electrons from TPNH to the tetrazole, it has been found that sites of activity of different TPN-linked dehydrogenases can be visualized in tissue sections, and characteristic loci for each enzyme may be observed. For example, whereas TPN diaphorase and isocitric dehydrogenase have an extensive distribution in the kidney cortex, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase is limited to the cells of the macula densa.

Campbell, J. J. R. (The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada), Loretta A. Hogg, and G. A. Strasdine. Enzyme distribution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. Bacteriol. 83:1155-1160. 1962.-Previous studies on the distribution of enzymes in bacteria have indicated that, although individual enzymes were predominantly associated with a particular cellular structure, nevertheless some of the enzyme appeared to be present in all cellular fractions. In the present work with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it was shown that, in general, an enzyme is present in only one cellular component. Hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, gluconic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, fumarase, isocitric dehydrogenase, isocitritase, and catalase were detected only in the soluble cytoplasm of the cell. Glucose oxidase and succinic dehydrogenase were detected only in the "ghost" fraction. Diphosphopyridine nucleotide oxidase was present in both "ghost" and ribosomal fractions but was most concentrated in the "ghost". Although adenylic kinase was found to be present in all fractions, it was possible to fractionate cells so that almost all of the activity was associated with the soluble cytoplasm a minor amount being associated with the "ghost." Adenosine triphosphatase was most concentrated in the "ghost" but appreciable activity appeared in the cytoplasm. Polynucleotide phosphorylase appeared to be the only enzyme that was convincingly associated with the ribosomes. However, a small amount of activity was associated with the soluble cytoplasm and with the "ghosts."
