An experimental model of myocardiopathy was induced in rhesus monkeys following noradrenaline (NA) infusion (20 ug/kg body wt/minute), for a period of 2 hours daily for three consecutive days. The animals were sacrificed after two hours (acute phase), forty-eight hours (sub-acute phase) and twenty-one days (chronic phase). Focal depletion of succinic dehydrogenase, increase in adenosine triphosphatase, acid phosphatase and appearance of large fat droplets in myocardial muscle was noted in the acute phase. Histopathological examination revealed focal edema, opacity and fuchsinorrhagia of the muscle fibres distributed in both the ventricles. Myofibrillar degeneration, myocytolysis and vacuolization with aggregation of lymphomononuclear cells were the significant features in the acute phase. During sub-acute and chronic phases, these features became less prominent and reparative changes with proliferation of fibroblasts became more marked. By the twenty-first day, irregular, focal scars replaced the necrosed myocardium. Ultrastructurally, heart muscle showed myofibrillar disorganisation, distortion of Z and A bands, dilatation of sarcoplasmic reticulum and swelling and rupture of mitochondria. Altered membrane permeability was evidenced by the presence of reaction products of horseradish peroxidase within the cardiac cells. In the reparative phase, however, myocytolytic changes regressed and collagen deposition was the prominent feature. This experimental study has several histological features simulating human cases of myocardial infarction without coronary occlusion.

Cytochemical studies were carried out on rat alveolar and peritoneal macrophage cultures following exposure to quartz and corundum dusts. Quartz increased the number of ATPase positive cells and brought about an enhancement in the peroxidase and diffusion of the acid phosphatase activity of the exposed cells. In unexposed cell cultures, acid phosphatase activity was higher in alveolar than in peritoneal macrophages and was dependent upon the duration of incubation. Corundum produced no significant effect on the enzyme activity. Quartz treatment did not alter esterase activity whereas corundum exposed cultures showed a decline. A significant increase in mitochondrial succinic dehydrogenase activity was observed in peritoneal macrophages after quartz treatment. The results demonstrate alteration in the marker enzymes of plasma membranes, mitochondria and lysosomes during phagocytosis of quartz dust as the key event of dust cell interaction in vitro.

Cytochrome oxidase (CCO), peroxidase, succinic dehydrogenase (SDG) and NADH-diaphorase were studied electron-cytochemically in leprous macrophages (LM) of granulomas of patients suffering from lepromatous leprosy. The LM peroxidase activity and location differed, this affecting the completeness of M. leprae phagocytosis. High CCO activity in LM cytoplasm was not a factor essentially influencing M. leprae disintegration. SDG and NADH-diaphorase, locating predominantly in membraneous structures of M. leprae, show low activity in LM cytoplasm.

The immunohistochemical location of cathepsin L in rabbit soleus, plantaris and psoas muscles was investigated using the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) technique. The amount of enzyme detected varied according to the fibre type, which were identified by histochemical staining of serial sections for succinate dehydrogenase and alkali-stable myosin ATPase. In the three muscles studied labelling was strongest in the highly oxidative fibres and weaker in the other fibre types with least staining in the fast white fibres. Immunoreactive cathepsin L appeared to be most concentrated at the periphery of muscle fibres, especially near to the nuclei, although some staining was seen throughout the fibres.

The molybdenum requirement for growth and conidial formation by Aspergillus flavus, A. terreus, and A. sulphureus was found to be 0.2 ppb, which was one-fifth that of an A. niger isolate. Molybdenum deficiency depressed growth, conidial formation, dry weight, soluble protein, and the specific activities of nitrate reductase, succinic dehydrogenase, and aconitase in all the isolates of Aspergillus studied, but the specific activities of catalase and peroxidase were depressed only in isolates of A. niger, A. terreus, and A. flavus. Also, molybdenum deficiency stimulated the specific activities of acid phosphatase and ribonuclease in the A. flavus isolate, although the specific activities of these enzymes decreased in other isolates. Eighteen hours after the addition of molybdenum (5 ppb) to molybdenum-deficient (0.02 ppb) cultures of A. niger, the specific activities of catalase, peroxidase and succinic dehydrogenase were restored in the absence of cycloheximide, while the specific activity of nitrate reductase was recovered even in the presence of the inhibitor. There was no effect on the specific activities of aconitase and acid phosphatase following the addition of molybdenum to molybdenum-deficient cultures of A. niger.

Bacillus subtilis cytoplasmic membranes contain several cytochromes which are linked to the respiratory chain. At least six different cytochromes have been separated and identified by ammonium sulphate fractionation and ion-exchange chromatography. They include two terminal oxidases with CO-binding properties and cyanide sensitivity. One of these is an aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase which has characteristic absorption maxima in the reduced-oxidized difference spectrum at 601 nm in the alpha-band and at 443 nm in the Soret band regions. In the alpha-band two separate electron transitions with Em = +205 mV and Em = +335 mV can be discriminated by redox potentiometric titration. The other CO-binding cytochrome c oxidase contains two cytochrome b components with alpha-band maxima at 556 nm and 559 nm. Cytochrome b556 can be reduced by ascorbate and has an Em + +215 mV, whereas cytochrome b559 has an Em = +140 mV. Furthermore a complex consisting of a cytochrome b564 (Em = +140 mV) associated with a cytochrome c554 (Em = +250 mV) was found. This cytochrome c554, which can be reduced by ascorbate, appears to have an asymmetrical alpha-peak and stains for heme-catalyzed peroxidase activity on SDS-containing polyacrylamide gels. A protein with a molecular mass of about 30 kDa is responsible for this activity. A cytochrome b559 (Em = +65 mV) appears to be an essential part of succinate dehydrogenase. Finally a cytochrome c550 component with an apparent mid-point potential of Em = +195 mV has been detected.

The location of carbonic anhydrase III (CA-III) in frozen sections of biopsies of Thoroughbred horse skeletal muscle was studied. Fibre types were determined by ATP-ase and succinate dehydrogenase staining. CA-III isozyme was detected using a peroxidase conjugated anti-CA-III antibody. CA-III was found to be localised in slow twitch oxidative fibres (ST), but was also present in fast twitch oxidative (FTH) fibres in small amounts. Fast twitch glycolytic (FT) fibres were stained lightly compared with control sections. The concentrations of CA-III in muscle and liver were 70 micrograms/mg protein and 4 micrograms/mg protein, respectively. CA-I and CA-II were not found in muscle extracts by the double immunodiffusion method.

The effect of sugar mill effluent on the activities of peroxidase, amylase, and nitrate reductase of rice (Oryza Sativa L. C.V. Mushoori) seedlings have been investigated. In addition, an attempt was also made to investigate effluent-induced changes in the activities of mitochondrial enzymes, such as succinate dehydrogenase, during germination of rice seedlings. The effects were studied in relation to both concentration of effluent and time of exposure. The activity of all enzymes tested, except succinate dehydrogenase, decreased during effluent treatment. A marked increase in succinate dehydrogenase activity was noticed at various concentrations of effluent treatment. When time-dependent changes in succinate dehydrogenase activity were followed a nearly threefold increase was found with 12 hr of treatment after which a rapid loss was noticed. A correlation was established between the retardation of growth and development of effluent-treated rice seedlings with the activities of some key enzymes regulating growth and development.

The organization of the whisker representation within the neocortex of the rat is dependent on an intact periphery during development. To further investigate how alterations in this cortical map arise we examined the organization of thalamocortical afferents to the whisker representation in adult animals in which the infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve was cut on the day of birth. The disrupted pattern of thalamocortical projections to the vibrissae representation was apparent in the abnormal pattern of the anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase from the thalamus, as well as in the abnormal pattern of succinate dehydrogenase activity. To determine the morphology of individual thalamocortical axons associated with this disrupted pattern, terminal arbors were "bulk-labeled" by injections of horseradish peroxidase into the white matter beneath the somatosensory cortex. Terminal arbors were identified by their laminar distribution of boutons corresponding to the specific thalamocortical afferent. The medial to lateral extent of these terminal arbors varied dramatically, from 350 to 1500 microns. In addition, terminal arbors innervating the same local area of cortex appeared to have varying degrees of overlap. Thus, the disruption of the neocortical vibrissae representation appears to involve the abnormal arborization of individual thalamocortical afferents. This finding supports the hypothesis that the fine-grain organization of the somatotopic map is dependent on the morphology and organization of individual thalamocortical arbors, which, in turn, are dependent on the periphery during development.

The specific activities of isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase were determined in extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea and compared with the corresponding values for Anacystis nidulans and autotrophically grown Hydrogenomonas eutropha. In common with other obligate autotrophs and in contrast to facultative autotrophs, Nitrosomonas extracts lacked alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase and KCN-sensitive NADH oxidase activity and had low succinic dehydrogenase activity. The Nitrosomonas NADH oxidase appeared to be of the peroxidase type.
