The activities of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase (citrate oxaloacetatelyase, EC 4.1.3.7), NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (threo-Ds-isocitrate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.42), and succinate dehydrogenase (succinate: FAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1) as well as their kinetic behavior in the two developmental forms of Trypanosoma cruzi at insect vector stage, epimastigotes and infective metacyclic trypomastigotes, were studied. The results presented in this work clearly demonstrate a higher mitochondrial metabolism in the metacyclic forms as is shown by the extraordinary enhanced activities of metacyclic citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase. In epimastigotes, the specific activities of citrate synthase at variable concentrations of oxalacetate and acetyl-CoA were 24.6 and 26.6 mU/mg of protein, respectively, and the Michaelis constants were 7.88 and 6.84 microM for both substrates. The metacyclic enzyme exhibited the following kinetic parameters: a specific activity of 228.4 mU/mg and Km of 3.18 microM for oxalacetate and 248.5 mU/mg and 2.75 microM, respectively, for acetyl-CoA. NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase specific activities for epimastigotes and metacyclics were 110.2 and 210.3 mU/mg, whereas the apparent Km's were 47.9 and 12.5 microM, respectively. No activity for the NAD-dependent isozyme was found in any form of T. cruzi differentiation. The particulated succinate dehydrogenase showed specific activities of 8.2 and 39.1 mU/mg for epimastigotes and metacyclic trypomastigotes, respectively, although no significant changes in the Km (0.46 and 0.48 mM) were found. The cellular role and the molecular mechanism that probably take place during this significant shift in the mitochondrial metabolism during the T. cruzi differentiation have been discussed.

Within the uterine glands, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the activities of G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, and cytochrome oxidase increase within secreting cells during the 2nd half of pregnancy. The activities of the other enzymes remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. The description of our results distinguishes between gland neck, middle, and distal part of the secretory unit, respectively. In general, the enzyme activities are similar within the middle and distal gland segments, but lower in the epithelia of the neck region. The activity of dehydrogenases was medium to intensive within the middle and distal gland segments, but only low to medium within the neck portion. Of the hydrolases, the acid phosphatase, ATPase, leucine aminopeptidase, and beta-galactosidase demonstrated an intensive activity within activity secreting cells. The enzyme activities of the gland epithelia are compared with these of the uterine surface epithelia and the histochemical results are discussed in context with their significance in histiotrophic nutrition.

Supermitochondrial liquid (SL) of rat and guinea-pig liver increases the activity of 2, 3, 5 triphenyltetrasolium chloride (TPC) and tetrasolium violet (TV) reduction at succinate, NADH and NADPH oxidation by mitochondria (MC). SL contains an activating factor A, being evidently of a protein nature and factor B, increasing the activating activity of factor A. NAD, NADP, NADH and NADP at 5 x 10(-5)-1 x 10(-4) M concentration activate the TPC and TV reduction at succinate oxidation by mitochondria. TPC and TV reduction at succinate and NADP oxidation by mitochondria makes antimicin and cyanide sensitive. SL does not influence succinate dehydrogenase activity, when used as electron acceptors of ferricyanide, blue Vurster, cytochrome C, blue and violet nitrotetrasolium. Activation of electron transfer chair between cytochrome C and oxygen is supposed to be responsible for such an effect.

Changes in carbohydrate metabolism were studied in midgut gland, muscle, and gill tissues of marine prawn Penaeus indicus exposed to a sublethal concentration (0.3 ppm) of phosphamidon. A significant decrease in glycogen and pyruvate and an increase in lactate content were observed in all phosphamidon-exposed prawn tissues after 96 hr. An increase in phosphorylase a and aldolase activity levels suggested the increased formation of triose sugars during phosphamidon toxicity. LDH activity was considerably decreased and an increment in lactate content was observed which indicates reduced mobilization of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was considerably increased, suggesting the enhanced oxidation of glucose in the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway. Krebs cycle enzymes such as NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase were found to be decreased, suggesting the impairment in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism due to the acute toxic impact of phosphamidon. Cytochrome-c oxidase and Mg2+ ATPase activity levels were also decreased considerably, suggesting impaired energy synthesis and breakdown during phosphamidon toxicity, as a result of reduced oxidation of glucose aerobically. The increase in acid and alkaline phosphatase activities indicates the enhanced breakdown of phosphate to release energy in view of inhibiton or impairment in the ATPase system during phosphamidon-induced stress. These results suggest that phosphamidon has a profound effect on the oxidative metabolism of prawn which results in the triggering of compensatory metabolic pathways for survivability.

The possible significance of food composition connected with the alpha-glycerophosphate (alpha GP) shuttle, a putative metabolic pathway of energy dissipation, was investigated at the level of enzyme activities. Liver, adipose tissue, slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle of weaned male Wistar rats fed ad libitum for seven and for forty weeks a normal-protein (NP), a low-protein (LP), and a high-fat (HF) diet were examined. No striking dietary influences on cytosalic (NAD-linked glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase) and mitochondrial (succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase) enzyme activities could be detected, but mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (m-GPDH) showed an about twofold increase of its activity in the liver of LP-fed animals after seven weeks. A relationship between the "gross efficiency of food energy utilization" and tissue m-GPDH levels could not be established in general. The proposed inducing effect of a LP diet on the magnitude of the GP shuttle observed in the liver of young and adult rats seems to be interconnected reciprocally with the degree of metabolic energy dissipation only under the conditions of growth. The calculated capacities of the alpha GP shuttle are compatible with the assumption of its function as an energy dissipating pathway which is restricted in its magnitude.

Experimental evidence is presented showing the existence of an NADH-consuming enzyme in heart mitochondria, in addition to the NADH--ubiquinone oxidase of complex I. In contrast to the latter, the novel enzyme is accessible from the extramitochondrial space. Removal of the outer membranes from intact mitochondria had no influence on exogenous NADH consumption, indicating its location at the cytosolic face of the inner membrane. The enzyme could be solubilized from this membrane and purified by sedimentation through preformed sucrose gradients. Liver mitochondria exhibited no oxidation of external NADH, suggesting that the enzyme is organo-specific. The "exogenous NADH dehydrogenase" of heart mitochondria was found to introduce reducing equivalents into the respiratory chain before the rotenone block, indicating that the enzyme is associated with complex I. The enzyme was also demonstrated to be involved in electron flow from the respiratory chain to exogenous electron acceptors, including NAD+. This permitted us to elicit the existence of an energy-dependent reversed electron flow from complex II to complex I. The redox shuttle established by the novel enzyme could be of significance for the regulation of cellular NADH and the metabolic activation of foreign compounds such as adriamycin.

The results of quantitative histoenzymologic investigations of succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and NAD-diaphorase in cardiomyocytes of dogs with acute experimental arterial occlusion in ischemic and postischemic periods are reviewed. An increased activity of dehydrogenases in the early periods (3,6 h) of ischemia and during recirculation was established, with its noticeable reduction at later terms (9,12 h). Medical correction of postischemic disorders was shown to improve cardiomyocyte metabolism.

The clonal study of L cell culture has shown that the clone-forming cells are heterogeneous both in form and in the activities of enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, NAD- and NADP-diaphorase) which were determined by histochemical methods. The morphological heterogeneity is characteristic for clones with not less than 10 cells manifesting itself earlier and heterogeneity as to the activity of the studied enzymes--later, in clones with more than 15-20 cells.

In porcine areolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Of the dehydrogenases, the diaphorases as well as succinate and lactate dehydrogenase demonstrated generally an intensive activity within the epithelia. The activity of the other dehydrogenases was only low. The activity of unspecific esterase was very intensive within the uterine epithelia but remarkably low within chorionic epithelia. Contrarily, the reaction of adenosine triphosphatase was more intensive within chorionic than uterine epithelia. All investigated glucosidases reacted distinctly positive within chorionic epithelia, but only beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase and beta-galactosidase in uterine epithelia. The high activity of acid phosphatase, especially within the chorionic epithelium, seems to be connected with uteroferrin, an iron-binding protein. The histochemical results are discussed in context with the function of the areolae in histiotrophic nutrition and iron transport.

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)
