The activity of oxidative enzymes of the Krebs cycle was examined in white rats during hypokinesia. On hypokinesia day 7 the cytosol activity of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) increased and that of malic-enzyme decreased. On hypokinesia days 30 and 45 the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KGDH) decreased, that of cytoplasmatic malate dehydrogenases (MDH) slightly increased, and that of NADP ICDH declined. On hypokinesia day 60 the total activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases reduced due to a low protein content of the mitochondrial fraction, whereas the specific activity either remained unchanged (ICDH, NAD MDH, alpha-KGDH) or increased (SDH, NADP MDH). On recovery day 25 only the activity of mitochondrial NAD-dependent malate and isocitrate dehydrogenases returned to normal.

Histochemical studies have been made of the isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, DPN diaphorase, TPN diaphorase, delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and monoamine oxidase in the caput, corpus and cauda epididymides of normal and alpha chlorohydrin (6.5 mg/kg/9 days) treated rats. Administration of alpha chlorohydrin in a low dose caused a conspicuous decrease in all these enzymes except delta 5-3 beta-HSD, in various cell types of epididymal epithelium and sperms. Biochemical estimations of isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and delta 5-3 beta-HSD have further supported and confirmed these histochemical observations. These changes in enzyme activities after treatment with low dose of alpha chlorohydrin strongly suggest that TCA cycle and amino acid metabolism of epididymis become defective, much earlier before any histological damage to the epididymis becomes visible.

The energy metabolism of the English E-CMO strain of contagious equine metritis bacterium was studied in whole cells and cell extracts. This bacterium appears to have an active Krebs cycle and probably obtains energy by oxidative phosphorylation since glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate pathways appear to be absent. These conclusions are based on the findings that [U-14C]glucose incorporation by this bacterium is below the level of detection, and that respiration is stimulated by Krebs cycle intermediates (i.e., malate, citrate, and succinate), but not by glucose, fructose, maltose, or sucrose. Furthermore, support comes from the fact that enzymes generally associated with the Krebs cycle and electron transport (i.e., malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase, malate dehydrogenase [decarboxylating], cytochrome oxidase, superoxide dismutase, NADH dehydrogenase, and catalase) were detected. Those enzymes normally associated with glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate pathways (i.e., hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, fructose biphosphate aldolase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, pyruvate kinase, phosphate acetyl transferase, acetate kinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase) were below the level of detection.

The study of 165 rats exposed to 60-day hypokinesia demonstrated a decrease in the quantity of mitochondrial protein and a decline in the activity of mitochondrial forms of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH) and NAD-malate dehydrogenase (NAD-MDH), as well as NAD-ICDH, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KGDH). The maximum decline in the protein content was seen on day 60, and in the enzyme activity on day 7. As the hypokinetic exposure continued, the activity of mitochondrial NAD-MDH and NADP-ICDH slightly increased. The NADP-MDH activity decreased only at later stages of hypokinesia. The changes in cytoplasmic NAD-MDH, NADP-ICDH and NADP-MDH were less expressed. On day 25 of the recovery period the activity of NAD-ICDH and NADP-ICDH was significantly higher than in the controls, that of mitochondrial NAD-MDH returned to the normal, and the activity of SDH and alpha-KGDH remained noticeably lowered.

The formation of spironolactone (S) bodies, eosinophilic laminated cytoplasmic inclusions, is induced in the aldosterone-producing cells of the human adrenal cortex after the administration of spironolactone. The aim of this study was to define the enzyme histochemical characteristics of S bodies, S-body-containing cells, and the apparently hyperplastic zona glomerulosa (zG) of adrenal tissues attached to aldosteronomas. S bodies were found in 14 of 19 aldosteronomas, in 10 of 19 adrenal tissues attached to aldosteronomas, and in the adrenal tissues in a patient with aldosteronism due to bilateral diffuse zG hyperplasia. The S bodies themselves exhibited most intense 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta HSD) activity but did not exhibit glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH), or succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, confirming histochemically the origin of S bodies in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. In two adenomas, S bodies were found to be surrounded by reaction products of acid hydrolase but were not found in the other adenomas and the remaining adrenal tissues. S-body-containing cells, irrespective of being neoplastic or not, showed enhanced 3 beta HSD, G6PD, and NADP-ICDH activity and weak SDH activity (Type I pattern of enzyme activity). Though zG was hyperplastic in most of the adrenal tissues attached to the adenomas, zG cells that did not contain S bodies showed the opposite pattern (Type II pattern) of enzyme activity (ie, weak 3 beta HSD, G6PD, and NADP-ICDH activity and intense SDH activity), in contrast to those in the adrenal tissues in a patient with aldosteronism due to bilateral diffuse zG hyperplasia (which showed the Type I pattern). The results are consistent with the view that hyperplastic zG cells, except S-body-containing cells, in the case of aldosteronoma are not hyperfunctioning. The latter cells may have enhanced but possibly abortive steroidogenic activity.

The ability of the bacteroids Rhizobium lupini isolated from the nodules at the stage of active nitrogen fixation to consume [1-14C]- and [2-14C] glucose was studied. 5 min after glucose addition to the cell suspension the label is rapidly incorporated into the organic acids, amino acids and sugars, which is indicative of glucose penetration inside the bacteroids and of a high rate of its catabolism. The rapid incorporation of the label into all Krebs cycle metabolites and the activities of citrate (si)-synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, which are positively correlated with the rate of the nitrogen fixation process in the course of plant vegetation provide evidence for the occurrence of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the bacteroids.

The developmental and senescent patterns of a number of heart enzyme activities linked to energy metabolism have been studied in rats aged between 4 days and 21 months. A morphometric study of mitochondrial volume fractions and numbers has been also carried out. Developmental changes result in a rise of most mitochondrial enzymes (NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase) and mitochondrial volume fractions. Exceptions are NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase, which declines from 4 days onwards, and NAD+-malate dehydrogenase, which declines and then rises over the same period. Senescent changes follow two different trends. While pyruvate kinase and those mitochondrial enzymes lying between citrate formation and isocitrate oxidation (citrate synthase, NADP+-and NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenases) decline to some degree, mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and NAD+-malate dehydrogenase activities increase over the same period. This could point towards a partial impairment of Krebs cycle function, and a reduced energy-producing capacity in the aged rat heart.

The influence on chick myogenesis of hypothyroid status induced in ovo by methimazole was histologically (number and types of muscle fibers) and biochemically studied. A single injection of methimazole induced an hypothyroid status during embryogenesis, as shown by the plasma T4 levels which were separately assayed in male and female controls and treated embryos from day 12 of incubation to day 4 after hatching. In both sexes, control plasma T4 reached a peak on day 20 of incubation, but the female values were significantly higher; plasma T4 in the treated embryos remained at a low level independently of sex. Only methimazole-treated males showed a significant increase (P less than 0.01) in the total number of fibers of the two muscles (tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum) studied. Moreover, the histochemical results on succinate dehydrogenase and myofibrillar ATPase evidenced that, of the three fiber types (alpha R, alpha W and beta R) constituting the skeletal muscles, only the alpha fibers increased significantly. Aldolase (glycolytic) and NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase (tricarboxylic acid cycle) activities, measured on the adductor and pectoralis muscles, showed a similar developmental pattern in control and treated animals, but was retarded in the latter due to a 5-day delay in hatching. It is not known whether the tissular differences were related directly to the hypothyroid status, to alterations in nervous system differentiation or, as suggested by intersexual differences, to modifications in hormonal balance.

The study on the effect of some antibiotics on the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDG) and dehydrogenases of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TAC) in the cell extracts of Bac. polymyxa 153 producing polymyxin B showed that the level of the reaction of the individual enzymes to the effect of various antibiotics was different. Specific sensitivity to polymyxins M and B was found in succinate dehydrogenase and that to polymyxin B in malate dehydrogenase. The activity of the first components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes was completely suppressed not only by polymyxins M and B but also by novobiocin, ristomycin and nistatin. The activity of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was not suppressed by either of the antibiotics tested.

Vitamin D3 administration affects the NAD-linked oxidoreductase activities of Krebs cycle from intestinal mucosa of vitamin D-deficient chicks. Vmax values were increased in all of them, while K0.5 for substrate remained unchanged except for 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, which showed lower affinity for oxoglutarate. Addition of Ca2+ to the incubation medium increased the affinity of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase for their substrates either in the vitamin D3 treated group or in the control one. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase, a FMN-dependent oxidoreductase, was not modified by vitamin D3 administration. The oxygen consumption of the intestinal mitochondria was not altered by cholecalciferol treatment to vitamin D-deficient chicks. The reason why vitamin D3 selectively affects the NAD-linked oxidoreductase activities of the Krebs cycle remains unknown. The vitamin D hormone, 1,25(OH)2D3, appears to be the mediator of the response.
