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.

Alterations in enzyme activities involved in muscle energy metabolism and the muscle fiber type distribution were investigated in six subjects, ranging in age from 19-23 years, following short-term, high intensity exercise. Changes in the vastus lateralis muscle were studied prior to exercise and approximately 24 h after each of 2 consecutive days of supramaximal cycling exercise (120% VO2 max) performed intermittently as 1-min work to 4-min rest until fatigue or until 24 repetitions had been completed. The results indicated that there were no changes (P greater than 0.05) in maximal in vitro activities for representative enzymes of beta-oxidation (3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase, HAD), the citric acid cycle (succinic dehydrogenase, SDH), glucose phosphorylation (hexokinase, HK), glycogenolysis (total phosphorylase, PHOSPH), or glycolysis (phosphofructokinase, PFK; pyruvate kinase, PK; lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) in spite of the large increase in carbohydrate utilization and glycolytic flux rate. In addition, although no change in fiber type distribution was found in the pre-exercise biopsy between days, an acute reduction (P less than 0.05) in type I fiber distribution occurred with exercise. It is concluded that supramaximal exercise performed on a short-term basis does not alter the enzymatic profile or the fiber type distribution when measured 24 h following the activity.

Cells of the aerotolerant anaerobe Giardia lamblia respire in the presence of oxygen. Endogenous respiration is stimulated by glucose but not by other carbohydrates and Krebs cycle intermediates. Endogenous and glucose-stimulated respiration are insensitive to cyanide, malonate, and 2,4-dinitrophenol, but are inhibited by atabrin and iodoacetamide. G. lamblia produces ethanol, acetate and CO2 both aerobically and anaerobically either from endogenous reserves or exogenous glucose. Molecular hydrogen is not produced. The following enzyme activities were detected in homogenates: hexokinase, fructose-biphosphate aldolase, pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, malate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), pyruvate synthase, acetyl-CoA synthetase, alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+), NADH dehydrogenase, NADPH dehydrogenase, NADPH oxidoreductase and superoxide dismutase. The enzymes of energy and carbohydrate metabolism are nonsedimentable (109 000 x g for 30 min). Activities of lactate dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, phosphate acetyltransferase, acetate kinase, citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase and catalase were below the limits of detection. The results suggest the occurrence of glycolysis, energy production by substrate level phosphorylation and a flavin, iron-sulfur protein mediated electron transport system as well as the absence of cytochrome mediated oxidative phosphorylation and functional Krebs cycle.

To investigate sex differences in the organization of enzyme activities of energy supplying metabolism in skeletal muscle, samples of the vastus lateralis were extracted from active but untrained males (n = 16) and females (n = 17), ranging in age from 18 to 22 years. Muscle tissue from 2 different biopsy samples from each subject were analyzed for enzymes representative of the citric acid cycle (succinic dehydrogenase, SDH), beta-oxidation of fatty acids (3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase, HAD), glycogenolysis (phosphorylase, PHOSPH), glycolysis (pyruvate kinase, PK; phosphofructokinase, PFK and lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) and glucose phosphorylation (hexokinase, HK). The results indicated that the maximal activities of PFK, PK, LDH and PHOSPH, HK and SDH averaged between 15 and 32% higher in the males than in the females. No significant differences between the sexes were found for HAD. When enzyme activity ratios were calculated, sex differences were only evident for the HAD/SDH ratio (mean +/- SD; females = 0.56 +/- 0.20; males = 0.41 +/- 0.11 and for the PFK/HAD ratio (females = 7.40 +/- 1.6; males = 9.58 +/- 1.9). The findings suggest that (1) the females have a significantly lower overall capacity for aerobic oxidation and for anaerobic glycolysis than the males; (2) the females have a greater capacity for beta-oxidation relative to the capacity of the citric acid cycle; and (3) the glycolytic potential relative to the potential for beta-oxidation is lower in the females.

This study examined the effects of acute dietary restriction on aerobic and anaerobic metabolic capacity of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a 28% casein diet to a body weight of 100 g. The control group was killed at 100 g and the experimental groups were starved to 70 g body weight by either 4-day total restriction (TR) or 9-day partial restriction (PR). The heart, soleus, extensor digitorum longus (EDL), biceps brachii, psoas and red and white portions of the gastrocnemius (GR and GW) were assayed for oxygen uptake and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and pyruvate kinase (PK) activity. Cytochrome c was also measured in the gastrocnemius and psoas. The decrease in muscle weight was similar to the 30% decrease in body weight with the exception of the soleus which decreased by only 10% due to either TR or PR. PK, an estimate of anaerobic capacity, appeared to increase per unit weight in all tissues after both TR and PR; however, total muscle PK remained unchanged. Total cytochrome c and SDH activity, estimate of aerobic capacity, decreased in all muscles after either treatment. The largest decreases in SDH were 38% in the soleus and 51% in the heart after TR and 50% in the GR and 48% in the GW after PR. Oxygen uptake increased in the soleus (20%) and heart (70%) but decreased in all other skeletal muscles with the greatest effect after PR (50%). This study has shown that there is a decrease in aerobic capacity during acute starvation and that total muscle anaerobic metabolic capacity remains near normal.

The effect of intermittent normobaric hypoxia and of biological pyrimidines (uridine and cytidine) on the specific activities of some enzymes related to cerebral energy metabolism were studied. Measurement were carried out on the following: homogenate in toto; purified mitochondrial fraction; crude synaptosomal fraction, in different areas of rat brain: cerebral cortex, hippocampus, corpus striatum, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata. Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (12 hours daily for 5 days) caused modifications of the enzyme activities in the homogenate in toto (decrease of hexokinase in cerebellum; increase of pyruvate kinase in medulla oblongata), in the purified mitochondrial fraction (increase of succinate dehydrogenase in the corpus striatum) and in the crude synaptosomal fraction (decrease of cytochrome oxidase activity in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum; decrease of malate dehydrogenase in hippocampus and cerebellum; decrease of lactate dehydrogenase in cerebellum). Daily treatment with cytidine or uridine altered some enzyme activities either affected or unaffected by intermittent hypoxia.

Long-term electrical stimulation (14-28 days) of rabbit fast muscles (tibialis anterior, TA and extensor digitorum longus, EDL) using intermittent high frequency (3 trains per min of 5 s duration at 40 Hz, for 8 h per day) produced changes in enzyme activities similar to those found with continuous stimulation at a frequency occurring in nerves to slow muscles (10 Hz). The activity of citrate synthetase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase increased two to 3-fold within 28 days. There was a 4-fold increase in hexokinase whereas phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase decreased to about 60% of the activity levels in the contralateral unstimulated muscles. Blood flow and oxygen consumption at rest were not changed even after 28 days of stimulation, but were increased during contractions in muscles stimulated at either frequency, the level being twice as high as in control muscles. Glucose uptake was similar to that in control muscles both at rest and during contractions and the output of lactate was similar to that found in control muscles in muscles stimulated at 40 Hz. Muscles stimulated at 10 Hz had smaller lactate output. Thus intermittent stimulation at high frequency (40 Hz) and continuous low frequency (10 Hz) produced similar changes in aerobic metabolism and fuel uptake provided that the total number of stimuli was comparable and that the stimulation was carried out for sufficiently long period.

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 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.

Mouse renal cell tumors (RCTs) were induced in male CBA mice by 5 subcutaneous injections of 8 mg 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)/kg body weight once a week. After a lag period of 2 yr kidneys were removed, and serial cryostat sections of the kidneys were histochemically analyzed for the following parameters: glycogen content, basophilia, and the activities of glycogen synthase (SYN), glycogen phosphorylase (PHO), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), hexokinase (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malic enzyme (ME), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT). RCTs displayed the same histochemical profile irrespective of their size and growth pattern. In comparison with the normal kidney epithelium, the neoplastic cells exhibited elevated activities of enzymes for glycolysis (HK, PK, LDH) and the pentose phosphate pathway (G6PDH), while negative G6Pase and low SDH activity were observed in these cells. The majority of RCTs showed high PHO activity and weak staining for SYN. Activities of ALPase and GGT were negative in most of the RCTs. Markedly enlarged cells with atypical nuclei were detected in some advanced RCTs. Higher activities of glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes and G6PDH were found in these enlarged cells than in other tumor cells. Tubular preneoplastic lesions were similar to neoplastic lesions in morphological and histochemical characteristics. The present study revealed that a markedly elevated capacity for glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway occurred in RCTs in mice. A similar histochemical pattern in the few preneoplastic tubular lesions observed suggests that these metabolic aberrations emerge early during carcinogenesis, but additional studies on early stages of renal carcinogenesis are needed to substantiate this assumption.
