Virological and cytochemical parameters of blood leukocytes during acute stenosing laryngotracheitis in 53 children were measured, viz. succinate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, acid and alkaline phosphatase, myeloperoxidase. The patients were subjected to a combined treatment which included metabolites and their cofactors. The treatment gave good results, shortening the duration and reducing the number of relapses of the disease.

Do muscle fiber properties commonly associated with fiber types in adult animals and the population distribution of these properties require normal activation patterns to develop? To address this issue, the activity of an oxidative [succinic dehydrogenase (SDH)] and a glycolytic [alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD)] marker enzyme, the characteristics of myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (myosin ATPase, alkaline preincubation), and the cross-sectional area of single fibers were studied. The soleus and medial gastrocnemius of normal adult cats were compared with cats that 6 mo earlier had been spinally transected at T12-T13 at 2 wk of age. In control cats, SDH activity was higher in dark than light ATPase fibers in the soleus and higher in light than dark ATPase fibers in the medial gastrocnemius. After transection, SDH activity was similar to control in both muscles. GPD activity appeared to be elevated in some fibers in each fiber type in both muscles after transection. The cross-sectional areas most affected by spinal transection were light ATPase fibers of the soleus and dark ATPase fibers of the medial gastrocnemius, the predominant fiber type in each muscle. These data demonstrate that although the muscle fibers of cats spinalized at 2 wk of age presumably were never exposed to normal levels of activation, the activity of an oxidative marker enzyme was maintained or elevated 6 mo after spinal transection. Furthermore, although the absolute enzyme activities in some fibers were elevated by transection, three functional protein systems commonly associated with fiber types, i.e., hydrolysis of ATP by myosin ATPase and glycolytic (GPD) and oxidative (SHD) metabolism, developed in a coordinated manner typical of normal adult muscles.

1. A histochemical study using myosin ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase reactions and a morphometric analysis with image analyser, was carried out in sartorius and gastrocnemius muscles of two anuran species, Rana perezi and Bufo calamita, that show different locomotor activities. 2. Four types of muscle fiber were found. There were interspecific variations in their proportions, with a predominance of oxidative muscle fibers in Bufo calamita. 3. These results agree with those obtained previously for the metabolic profile of several tissues from both species and point to a clear metabolic basis for the differences in locomotor activities between these two species.

Approximately in 80% of cow oocytes (n = 632) ended cytoplasmatic and nucleus maturation to the state of metaphase II in the conditions of 24 hours in vitro cultivation. In 300 oocytes cytochemically we have determined the activity of enzymes--the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1.), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH, EC 1.1.1.8.) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.49.). The reaction intensity of the observed dehydrogenases increased in cow oocytes which were cultivated in vitro for 24 hours. Dehydrogenases are located in the mitochondria which are laid out regularly in the cytoplasm of oocytes. Part of oocytes showed polarization in the lay out of reaction and part of oocytes gave extramitochondrial reaction.

Alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPD) and succinate dehydrogenase (SD) activities were investigated in lymphocytes from peripheral blood of normal rats and rats bearing the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma. Computer analysis using an original algorithm revealed a hierarchy of biorhythmic patterns of dehydrogenase activities. In all rats, mean SD activity was higher than mean alpha-GPD activity. In rats without tumor, SD and alpha-GPD activities were both higher than in rats with the Walker tumor. Biorhythm spectra for both dehydrogenases were very similar in rats with or without tumor, but tumor implantation resulted in a change of the phase relationship between alpha-GPD and SD.

In vivo administration of testosterone significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome oxidase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+ ATPase), in mitochondria isolated from the liver of G. carnosus. Administration of dehydroepiandrosterone and androstenedione while significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome oxidase and alpha-GPDH, did not change that of SDH and Mg2+ ATPase. Simultaneous injections of testosterone and actinomycin D or chloramphenicol prevented the testosterone-stimulated activities of all the oxidative enzymes studied. The results clearly document the important stimulatory role of androgens in the regulation of hepatic mitochondrial metabolism in G. carnosus.

The role of neuromuscular activity in maintaining the normal enzyme heterogeneity found in a predominantly fast mixed muscle was studied. Enzymatic profiles of single fibers in the adult cat medial gastrocnemius (MG) were examined after almost complete elimination of neuromuscular activity for 6 mo. Inactivity was achieved by spinal cord isolation (SI), i.e., spinal transection at T12-T13 and L7-S1 combined with bilateral dorsal rhizotomy between the two transection sites. Cross-sectional area and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) activities were determined in a population of fibers identified in frozen serial cross sections. Each fiber was categorized as light or dark on the basis of its staining characteristics for qualitative myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase), alkaline preincubation, and its reaction to fast and slow myosin heavy chain (MHC) antibodies. SI resulted in a conversion of nearly all light (approximately 36% in the control) to dark ATPase fibers. Virtually all MG fibers in the SI cats reacted with the fast MHC antibody, whereas very few fibers reacted with slow MHC antibody. On the basis of fiber cross-sectional area, it was estimated that the MG atrophied by approximately 10% after SI. Compared with the mean of the dark and light ATPase fibers in control (weighted by the percent fiber type distribution), mean SDH activity was significantly lower (approximately 70%) and mean GPD activity was significantly higher (approximately 120%) in the SI cats. These data indicate that prolonged electrical silence of a mixed fast hindlimb extensor results in virtually all fibers expressing fast MHC as well as oxidative and glycolytic enzyme profiles normally observed in fast glycolytic fibers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Wistar male rats were sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 days, and at 5 and 10 weeks of age. The histochemical differentiation of slow twitch soleus and fast twitch plantaris muscle fibers was examined from the enzyme activities of adenosine triphosphatase (slow- or fast-contracting), succinate dehydrogenase (high- or low-oxidative), and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (high- or low-glycolytic). The soleus muscle fibers differentiated into slow-contracting (S) and fast-contracting (F) fibers at 7 days of age. In the plantaris muscle, differentiation into S and F fibers in the deep portion occurred earlier (9 days) than in the superficial portion (11 days). Thereafter, fiber type shifts between S and F were observed in both muscles. Differentiation into fast-contracting oxidative glycolytic (FOG), fast-contracting glycolytic (FG), and slow-contracting oxidative (SO) fibers occurred in both muscles at 15 and 17 days of age. After subdivision into the three fiber types, a type shift from FOG to FG was observed in both the deep and superficial portions of the plantaris muscle.

In the structures of the nucleus supraopticus, changes of the activity of some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, butyrylcholinesterase, succinate dehydrogenase, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) were studied in rat brains exposed to high supralethal doses of gamma radiation at early time interval after irradiation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase increased in the wall of blood capillaries after irradiation with 50, 150, 500 Gy. The dose of 500 Gy induced the most pronounced activity. These membrane enzymes are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation. The activity of acid phosphatase, acid nonspecific esterase and thiamine pyrophosphatase increased in magnocellular neurons after irradiation with all doses of gamma radiation. Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase showed a decreased activity in neurons, neuropil and capillaries.

A short-term training program involving 2 h of daily exercise at 59% of peak O2 uptake (VO2max) repeated for 10-12 consecutive days was employed to determine the significance of adaptations in energy metabolic potential on alterations in energy metabolism and substrate utilization in working muscle. The initial VO2max determined before training on the eight male subjects was 53.0 +/- 2.0 (SE) ml.kg-1.min-1. Analysis of samples obtained by needle biopsy from the vastus lateralis muscle before exercise (0 min) and at 15, 60, and 99 min of exercise indicated that on the average training resulted (P less than 0.05) in a 6.5% higher concentration of creatine phosphate, a 9.9% lower concentration of creatine, and a 39% lower concentration of lactate. Training had no effect on ATP concentration. These adaptations were also accompanied by a reduction in the utilization in glycogen such that by the end of exercise glycogen concentration was 47.1% higher in the trained muscle. Analysis of the maximal activities of representative enzymes of different metabolic pathways and segments indicated no change in potential in the citric acid cycle (succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase), beta-oxidation (3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase), glucose phosphorylation (hexokinase), or potential for glycogenolysis (phosphorylase) and glycolysis (pyruvate kinase, phosphofructokinase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase). With the exception of increases in the capillary-to-fiber area ratio in type IIa fibers, no change was found in any fiber type (types I, IIa, and IIb) for area, number of capillaries, capillary-to-fiber area ratio, or oxidative potential with training.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
