The distribution of succinic dehydrogenase, HApi-diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphatdehydrogenase, alkaline and acid phosphatases and glucose-6-phosphatase was studied by means of the incubation of whole cestodes. Succinic dehydrogenase, NAD-diaphorase and glucose-6-phosphatdehydrogenase are connected in general with the fixating apparatus of the scolex and genital organs; phosphatases -- with the integument tissues, excretory system and calcareous corpuscles. The results obtained are in complete agreement with the available data on the distribution of the enzymes studied. The incubation method of whole cestodes can be useful for field works.

Acute renal failure was induced in male rats by the subcutaneous injectioon of 4 mg HgC12 per kg body weight. Enzyme activities of the proximal tubule were studied histochemically at six time intervals from 15 min to 24 h. The enzyme studied were alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (NAD-independent), malic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, latic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase. Decreases in activity were observed for alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase after 15 min. Acid phosphatase was decreased after 30 min. These three enzymes returned to control levels after 3 h, but malic dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were decreased at this time interval. Succinic dehydrogenase was first decreased after 6 h. The earliest morphological changes detectable by light microscopy were observed in pars recta tubules in the medullary rays after 6 h, a time when all enzymes studied showed widespread decreased activity throughout the proximal tubule. After 24 h, the pars convoluta appeared morphologically normal but the pars recta was necrotic and exhibited calcification, whereas enzyme activity was decreased (absent in some cases) in both pars convoluta and pars recta. These results support the hypothesis that Hg++, when given in a sublethal dose, is associated with early histochemical changes in the brush border of the proximal tubule, which may be related to early changes in sodium reabsorption and to the subsequent development of acute renal failure. The observation that changes in plasma membrane-associated enzymes occur early and prior to alterations in enzymes of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum suggests that Hg++ interacts initially with the plasma membrane.

Using electron microscopic histochemical technique, studies have been made on the activity of succinic dehydrogenase in the kidneys of the cod Gadus morrhua and dog. It was shown that chelate granules indicating localization of the enzyme in the mitochondria of nephronal cells, concentrate mainly in two zones -- between the membranes and inside the cristae. This distribution of the enzyme implies the presence of two pools of succinic dehydrogenase in the mitochondria which are utilized at different stages of oxidative phosphorylation. Succinic dehydrogenase content of the cristae is lower in cod than in dog.

The objective of this investigation was to characterize organismic, organ and mitochondrial alterations in rats over the course of 27 days at 0.4 atm. In the adjustment phase (day 1 through 5) a significant decrease in systemic oxygen uptake and body weight (23% of pre-altitude values) occurred. In the acclimating state (day 7 to 27) body weight was regained but oxygen consumption remained depressed. Hematocrit increased hyperbolically from 45% in 0-day rats to 79% in 27-day rats. Liver, kidney and heart weights and total organ protein paralleled the changes observed in body weight. Total organ succinic dehydrogenase activity showed a wave-like oscillation for liver and kidney; activity was decreased in both organs by day 5, showed a transient but significant increase on days 16 through 18 and a return to diminished activity on day 27. Succinic dehydrogenase activity for heart became depressed in the adjustment phase but showed a stable level comparable to pre-altitude values in the accliminating phase, days 7 through 27. Liver mitochondrial protein mass was unchanged from pre-altitude values on days 5 and 27 even though succinic dehydrogenase activity was significantly depressed. Therefore, the changes in succinic dehydrogenase activity are not representative of altered mitochondrial mass but suggest that mitochondrial function was altered.

The hippocampus provides a suitable area in the brain for the analysis of neuronal plasticity after application of a selective lesioning technique. Using histochemistry and autoradiography, we studied synaptic reorganization in the rat hippocampus with selective CA1 pyramidal cell lesioning caused by transient forebrain ischemia after long-term survival. An autoradiographic study was performed on second messenger systems ([3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, [3H]forskolin and [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate binding). One-hundred days after ischemia, depletion of CA1 pyramidal cells and marked shrinkage of the CA1 subfield was noted in spite of unaltered thickness of the CA3 band and of the dentate molecular layers. Although neuronal density in the CA3 region of animals killed seven days after ischemia was not different from the normal group, 78% of animals showed neuronal loss of 30-50% in the stratum pyramidale of the CA3b 100 days after recirculation. Sixty-seven per cent of animals exhibited supragranular mossy fiber sprouting in the dentate gyrus. However, CA3 neuronal loss did not correlate with mossy fiber sprouting. Succinic dehydrogenase was depleted in the CA1 100 days after ischemia, and animals with CA3 damage showed a reduction of succinic dehydrogenase activity in the CA3. In contrast to the unaltered acetylcholinesterase in the animals killed seven days after ischemia, high density bands of acetylcholinesterase activity in the stratum pyramidale of the CA1 were found to be broadened 100 days after ischemia. In the CA1 subfield, subnormal activity of [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate and [3H]forskolin binding were observed in spite of the depleted [3H]inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate binding. [3H]Forskolin binding in the hilus had increased by 62% 100 days after ischemia, although binding in the stratum lucidum of the CA3 and in the stratum moleculare of the dentate gyrus was unaltered. However, no visible supragranular increase in [3H]forskolin binding was observed. These results indicate that long-term survival after CA1 pyramidal cell depletion caused by transient forebrain ischemia induced the modulation of neuronal activity and synaptic rearrangements in the whole hippocampal formation.

Studies have been made on the activity of cation- and anion-stimulated ATPases, as well as succinic dehydrogenase in homogenates and subcellular fractions from osmoregulatory organs of marine (elasmobranch and teleost) and freshwater (teleost) fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The activity of Na+, K+-ATPase was found to be rather similar in almost all osmoregulatory organs of the species investigated. The highest level of Cl-stimulated ATPase was found in microsomal fraction of the kidneys from birds and mammals. Succinic dehydrogenase activity is significantly higher in the renal tissue of mammals, both in total homogenates and in mitochondrial fraction.

The effect of cold exposure and of PTU and PTU + T3 administration on the protein content and succinic dehydrogenase activity of three mitochondrial populations obtained from rat liver was examined. Our results indicated the following: Succinic dehydrogenase activity increases mainly in the light mitochondrial fraction of cold-exposed rats. PTU administration of cold-exposed animals does not affect the increment in enzyme activity of the heavy fraction but blocks the increment of the light fraction. PTU + T3 administration restores succinic dehydrogenase activity to the values prevalent in normal cold-exposed rats. These findings suggest that thyroid hormone may stimulate the formation of light mitochondria during cold exposure.

Gossypol was examined in relation to its effect on certain enzymes and enzyme complexes associated with the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport system. Succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity from sweet potato was completely inhibited by gossypol at 7.5 x 10(-3)m and 2.0 x 10(-3)m, respectively. Succinoxidase activity of the same preparations was fully inhibited at a lower concentration, 2.5 x 10(-4)m. This concentration did not affect either succinic dehydrogenase or cytochrome oxidase, the primary and terminal enzymes of the succinoxidase complex. The nature of the intermediate step or steps inhibited at this concentration is not yet known. Gossypol was further shown to inhibit phosphorylation at concentrations having no appreciable effect on oxidation. Inhibition in general was not reduced by increased substrate concentrations in the enzyme systems examined, with the exception of cytochrome c for cytochrome oxidase. Bovine serum albumin was partially effective in reducing gossypol inhibition, provided that it was present before enzyme exposure to gossypol.

Involvement of phosphate-activated glutaminase in Huntington's disease and agonal state was investigated in caudate nucleus and frontal cortex from postmortem brains. In Huntington's disease the activities of phosphate-activated glutaminase, glutamic acid decarboxylase, succinic dehydrogenase, choline acetyltransferase, and acetylcholinesterase were significantly reduced in the caudate nucleus, but not in the frontal cortex. The activity of phosphate-activated glutaminase, and to a lesser extent of glutamic acid decarboxylase, was reduced in cases of terminal illness, as compared with cases of sudden death. Succinic dehydrogenase and choline acetyltransferase were reduced only in the few cases of prolonged and severe terminal illness. Enzyme activities of the caudate nucleus were more affected by agonal state than were those of frontal cortex. Results indicate that phosphate-activated glutaminase could be a useful marker of neuronal damage due to agonal state, and that phosphate-activated glutaminase and succinic dehydrogenase are reduced in Huntington's disease.
