Cytochemical changes during the early development of maize caryopsis are reported. Changes in the localization of different reserve substances (e.g. polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids) and enzymes (acid phosphatase, esterase, lipase, phosphorylase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase and peroxidase) have been studied in unfertilized and fertilized ovules. Before pollination very feeble enzyme activity (acid phosphatase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase and peroxidase) was observed. Reserve substances were present in low amounts before pollination. Pollination stimulated the accumulation of several substances and enzymes in the tip of the nucellus, micropylar zone. Just prior to, during and after fertilization, the cells in the micropylar zone had strong reaction for several enzymes indicating temporary enhancement of metabolic activity in the micropylar zone. The role of antipodals in the storage of reserve food products and nutrition of embryo and early stages of endosperm development is discussed. The pattern of enzymatic changes within the embryo sac reflected the biochemical changes operative during quiescent and active stages. The nucellus of Zea mays contains many enzymes required for hydrolysis of reserved food substances. A role of acid phosphatase in autolysis of nucellar cells, after fertilization is suggested. Post-fertilization increase in the activity of enzymes and accumulation of reserve materials is interpreted as reflecting a presumed increase in the metabolic rate relative to growth and differentiation.

The authors have studied the enzymhistochemical and ultrastructural pictures of tenocytes of adult human tendons. High succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, TPN-diaphorase, lactate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity were found, as indicated both oxidativ, anaerobic and pentose-phosphate shung activity. Phosphorylase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity was medial, lipase and alcaline phosphatase activity was slight. In tenocytes well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and GOLGI apparatus, large amount of free ribosomes were found.

Metabolic activity of rat lungs were studied in normal state and in acute hypoxia, caused by an effect of rarefied atmosphere (3 hrs, "height" 10,000 m). Glycolytic splitting of carbohydrates and catabolism of proteins were increased in lungs under hypoxic stress. In hypoxia activities of adlobase, pyruvate kinase, succinate dehydrogenase, 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase were increased, but hexokinase activity was decreased. Activities of lipase, lactate dehydrogenase and NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase were not altered, whereas the ratio in specific activity of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase was decreased.

Using histochemical techniques, changes in the localization of different reserve substances (e.g. pectic compounds, starch, polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, ascorbic acid) and enzymes (Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, ATP-ase, 5-nucleotidase, esterase, phosphorylase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase and lipase) have been studied in the young and fertilized ovules of Zephyranthes sp. and Lagenaria sp. etc. Extensive changes in the enzyme activity and reserve substances are demonstrated during megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis and most of the substances exhibited interesting distributional pattern. Similarly, all the enzymes investigated have specific locale of distribution in the tissues which displayed differentiation of embryo sac. The earlier changes observed are in the megaspore which contained many reserve substances (starch; nucleic acids; ascorbic acid; proteins) and enzymes (peroxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and ATP-ase). In the matured embryo sac different cells have differential localization of the substances. Based on histochemical studies, distinct differences are made out between egg and synergids; egg and central cell. In general antipodals have maximum accumulation of physiologically active substances and intense activity of different enzymes. Nucellus cells also stored diverse substances and enzymes especially towards the chalazal end. Pollination stimulated accumulation of several reserve substances and enzymes in the tip of nucellus beak, micropylar zone and these included starch, peroxidase, phosphorylase succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase etc.

Histochemical studies have been made on the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), lipase and localization of lipids in flight monofunctional (83, 84 and 113) and bifunctional (118, 119 and 120) muscles of the locust L, migratoria. Three types of muscle fibers were found in the bifunctional flight muscle 120 which differ in their enzymic activity and the intensity of staining by Sudan Black. The activity of SDH and lipase was found to be the highest in fast muscle fibers, and the lowest -- in slow ones. For the first time muscle fibers were described which may be considered as "intermediate" with respect to their structure and histochemical characteristics.

Morphometric, histological and histochemical studies were carried out on the sublingual salivary glands of the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius). The glands are of the tubulo-acinar type and consist of many lobules that are composed of two types of cells, mucoserous and seromucous. The mucoserous cells form the main secretory units of the gland but seromucous cells are much more seldom and form associated acini. The former cells secrete and elaborate large quantities of neutral mucosubstances, sialomucins and little sulphomucins while only the apical portion of the latter cells shows weak to moderate activity for neutral and acid mucosubstances. The histoenzymological tests employed here detected a considerable activity of alkaline phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, aminopeptidase and non-specific esterases, but weak activities of cytochrome oxidase, peroxidase and no activities of triacylglycerol lipase, beta-glucoronidase and amylase. The functional significance of these findings is discussed.

Metabolism of triceps, pectoralis (in the vicinity of tumor) and gastrocnemius (away from the tumor) muscles in Swiss albino mice bearing adenocarcinoma has been studied histochemically with regard to content of glycogen, lipids, phosphorylase, aldolase, lipase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase in the constituent fibres. At 9-10 weeks after transplantation of adenocarcinoma, a negligible glycogen content and decreased phosphorylase and aldolase activities are observed in the white, intermediate and red fibre types in the three muscles. Hypertrophy of fibres and occurrence of targetoid fibres is distinct in the muscles of tumor-bearing mice. The red fibres demonstrate a general loss of lipids, lipase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase whereas the hypertrophied fibres reveal intense localization of these parameters in their central zones. The results indicate that a decline in glycogenolysis, glycolysis, lipolysis and oxidative metabolism in the various fibre types may contribute to the muscle weakness and muscle wasting in the adenocarcinoma-bearing mice.

Fetuses were decapitated in one uterine horn in each of 14 sows at 45 d of gestation. Control (C) and decapitated (D) fetuses were removed by Caesarean section from three sows at 65 d of gestation (total of 10 D and 10 C fetuses), two sows at 85 d (six D and six C fetuses) and nine sows at 110 d (nine C and nine D fetuses) of gestation (Exp. 1). In Exp. 2, four to six fetuses were removed from each of two Ossabaw (O) gilts and three crossbred (C, Landrace X Yorkshire) gilts at 70 d of gestation, from three C and O gilts at 90 d of gestation and from three C and two O gilts at 110 d of gestation. In Exp. 1, one semitendinosis muscle was removed for histochemistry, whereas the contralateral muscle was removed and weighed. A medial portion of biceps femoris muscle was removed and used for histochemistry in Exp. 2. In both experiments, transverse sections (cryostat) of muscle were stained for lipid, glycogen (PAS) and the following enzymes: acid ATPase, NADH-TR, NADPH-TR, malate dehydrogenase (NAD- and NADP-dependent reactions; MDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (with and without NAD; alpha-GPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent; ICDH), esterase, lipoprotein lipase and lipase. In Exp. 1, body and muscle weights of the two groups were not significantly different (P greater than .05) at 65 d of gestation, whereas D fetuses were smaller and had lighter weight muscles (P less than .05) at 85 d of gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lysosomal hydrolases (e.g., acid phosphatase, AcPase; adenosine triphosphatase, ATPase, and lipase) and the mitochondrial 'marker' enzyme succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) were evaluated histochemically in the prostate gland of sexually 'quiescent' and 'active' bats. During the former state, AcPase activity was significantly less than in sexually active animals, suggesting that prostate AcPase activity is androgen dependent. Levels of lipase activity also were highest in the prostate of sexually active bats, suggesting the importance of endogenous lipids which may be mobilized and used as a source of energy. SDH and ATPase sites and patterns of distribution in the prostate gland of bats were closely similar during the two reproductive states. Differential enzymological patterns do not seem to have any significant correlation with the morphological changes which occur in the glandular epithelium, musculature, urethra and the luminal fluid, as the animals pass from a 'quiescent' phase to one of activity and vice versa as observed in the present study.

The effects of short-term feeding of a 20% mustard oil (containing 47% erucic acid) diet with 0.1% carnitine and/or fish oil on the activity of enzymes of lipid metabolism in mitochondrial and post-mitochondrial fractions of heart, liver, and skeletal muscles of rats were determined to study the reversal of erucic acid-induced lipidosis. Histopathological changes were also studied. The inclusion of fish oil or fish oil plus carnitine in a mustard oil diet, especially the latter, eliminated the histopathologically detectable lipidosis in heart and skeletal muscles. The reason for this appears to be the increased activity of lipase and phospholipase in tissue homogenates and of cholesterol ester hydrolase in the post-mitochondrial fraction; and also an increase in mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase which may increase the utilization of the liberated fatty acids. The results suggest that the erucic acid-induced lipidosis is prevented or eliminated by increased lipolysis and oxidation of fatty acids when such a diet is supplemented with carnitine and/or fish oil.
