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.

The new calcium antagonist anipamil (1,7-bis-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylaza-7-cyano-nonadecane) exhibited a pronounced protective effect against isoprenaline-induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Anipamil was administered in single doses of 10 or 20 mg/kg daily for 4 days. 30 mg/kg isoprenaline was given by subcutaneous injection on the 3rd and 4th days of the study. The protective effect of anipamil was assessed by histological investigations, and its effect on the activity of the enzymes succinate dehydrogenase, NADH-NBT reductase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in experimentally-induced myocardial damage was assessed quantitatively by microphotometry. The protective effect of anipamil against isoprenaline-induced myocardial necrosis was definitely dose-dependent: 10 mg/kg anipamil exhibited a partial protective effect, whilst 20 mg/kg anipamil protected the heart completely.

Genital organs and blood were obtained from dairy cows at a local abattoir. 3 recently ovulated follicles and 20 corpora lutea of estrous cycle (CLC) were used for the quantitative enzyme histochemical demonstration of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-OHSDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) activity, employing a computerized microscope photometer. Progesterone was determined in blood serum by radioimmunoassay. Luteal tissue was grouped into several stages of development according to micromorphological criteria. Activities per volume unit of 3 beta-OHSDH and SDH in large luteal cells (LLC), as well as in small luteal cells (SLC), and luteal tissue (LT), relative amounts of the 3 beta-OHSDH-positive tissue fraction (PLCC), and progesterone concentrations in blood serum exhibited a significant pattern corresponding to the morphological development of the endocrine gland. G-6-PDH showed an increase in activity per volume unit during tissue development lasting until the beginning of regressive changes, and as significant in LLC and LT. Activities per volume unit of 3 beta-OHSDH (p less than or equal to 0.001) and SDH (p less than or equal to 0.01) were higher in LLC than in SLC, indicating superior steroidogenic capacities, while G-6-PDH activity was distinctly higher in the latter (p less than or equal to 0.001). Almost all parameters tested were correlated positively. 3 beta-OHSDH and SDH exhibited a significantly positive correlation in LLC (p less than or equal to 0.01) and LT (p less than or equal to 0.001) during periods of measureable progesterone secretion. In SLC this correlation was nonsignificant (p greater than 0.05). G-6-PDH showed a relative poor correlation to 3 beta-OHSDH (LLC, p less than or equal to 0.05; LT, p less than or equal to 0.01) and SDH (LT, p less than or equal to 0.05). Enzyme activities in LLC as well as in SLC were generally positively correlated (p less than or equal to 0.001). All enzymes tested exhibited a significantly positive correlation with progesterone concentrations in blood serum. This was significant for SDH only during measurable progesterone secretion, and less marked for G-6-PDH.

Growth of Mycobacterium phlei under low oxygen tension resulted in specific activities two to twenty times lower for formate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, lactate oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase than when cultures were grown under high aeration. An increase in fumarate reductase and succinate dehydrogenase occurred with M. phlei grown under low oxygen tension. Malate: vitamin K dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity were not significantly affected by the oxygen tension used to grow the bacteria, and neither culture contained a lactate dehydrogenase. With growth of M. phlei in conditions of low oxygen tension, cytochrome a was not detected, but cytochrome b was prominent in membranes and cytochrome c was present in the soluble fraction.

Possible protective effects of Allium sativum and Crataegus--alone and in combination--on isoprenaline (isoproterenol)-induced heart, liver and pancreas damage were studied using rats as test animals. Pretreatment with Allium sativum alone, or in combination with Crataegus, resulted in protective effects on isoprenaline-induced damage of heart, liver, and pancreas. These effects proved to be dose-dependent. The following parameters were used to evaluate the protective effect: Clinical signs, qualitative histological and histoenzymatical findings, as well as quantitative microphotometric determination of enzymatic activities of succinate dehydrogenase, NADH-NBT reductase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in cardiac, hepatic and pancreatic tissues. The underlying mechanisms are discussed. The results suggest that Allium sativum, resp. Allium sativum plus Crataegus exert a pronounced protective effect.

Activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (I), fructose diphosphate aldolase (II) and succinate dehydrogenase (III) and content of pyruvate (IV) in the mycelium of the oleandomycin-producing organism were studied during increased intensity of the antibiotic synthesis. The increase in the intensity of the antibiotic synthesis was induced by exposure of the spores to a surface active substance, twin-21. After the exposure a rise in the activity of all the three enzymes in the phase of the culture intensive growth was observed. During the antibiotic intensive production the cultures with increased antibiotic production levels were characterized by significantly higher activity of I as compared to the control while the activity levels of II and III were approximately the same. It was shown that concentration of IV in the mycelium during the antibiotic intensive biosynthesis decreased and the decrease was more pronounced after exposure to twin-21.

We studied energy metabolism after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Four different cerebral areas were tested: frontal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, and brainstem. Vmax of the following enzymatic activities was evaluated: in the homogenate: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and lactate dehydrogenase for the glycolytic pathway, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase for the hexose monophosphate shunt; in the purified nonsynaptic mitochondria: NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and succinate dehydrogenase for the Krebs cycle, and cytochrome oxidase for the electron transfer chain. We also evaluated some parameters related to the respiration of nonsynaptic mitochondria (State 3, State 4, uncoupled state, respiratory control ratio, and ADP:O ratio). Subarachnoid hemorrhage did not significantly affect Vmax of the enzymatic activities related to anaerobic and aerobic metabolism; however, mitochondrial respiration was affected, particularly in the presence of NADH-producing substrates (glutamate + malate).

Muscle biopsies from six horses with clinical histories of muscle atrophy, muscle tremors, myopathic symptoms, unsteadiness of pelvic limbs and progressive ataxia were examined. Muscle biopsies were studied with enzyme histochemical techniques to evaluate the diagnostic values of these methods in cases suspected of suffering from neuromuscular disorders. Hypertrophy, atrophy, fibre splitting, waxy degeneration, phagocytosis and necrosis were seen in haematoxylin eosin stained sections of the different cases. Fibre type predominance and fibre type grouping were seen in the calcium ion stimulated myosine ATP-ase (Ca-ATP-ase) stained sections of some cases. 'Moth-eaten fibres' were demonstrated in three cases by staining with NADH: nitro blue tetrazolium oxidoreductase (NADH-TR), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), NADH dependent malate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase and by lactate dehydrogenase. The catabolic enzymes, acid phosphatase (ACP) and 5'-nucleotidase were active in cases with fibre phagocytosis. The oxidative part of the pentose phosphate pathway in myopathic tissue seemed to be important in three cases, demonstrated by the increased activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGDH). The important feature of diseased horse muscle was that the pathohistochemical changes were exactly the same as in diseased skeletal muscles of humans. The application of tissue saving enzyme histochemical techniques can be recommended in the study of muscle tissue from horses suffering from suspected neuromuscular disorders.

Neoplasms of all the adrenal parenchymatous elements [i.e., a compound adrenal medullary tumor (MT) consisting of pheochromocytoma (Pheo) and ganglioneuroma (GN) and a cortical adenoma] were found in the right adrenal gland of a 53-year-old man. A mature GN element was predominant in the MT, and nodules of small polygonal Pheo cells were scattered in GN. No neuroblastomatous element or malignant Pheo was found. The cortical adenoma consisted of compact cells and clear cells; it showed 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase activity. The nonneoplastic cortex was slightly atrophic and showed weaker activity of the enzymes, suggesting that the adenoma was cortisol-producing. The cortex surrounding the MT was invaded and replaced by either GN or Pheo. In some places, however, hypertrophic compact cells constituted the cortex and were in contact with ACTH-immunoreactive chromaffin cells. A few of the latter were also positive for other proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides. Pheo cells in the other parts were negative for POMC-derived peptides.

The differentiation of perirenal adipose tissue was ascertained in fetuses from Ossabaw (wild and obese) and cross-bred lean dams at 70, 90 and 110 days gestation and from domestic lean and obese dams (USDA) at 110 days gestation. Condensation of presumptive adipocyte clusters was more apparent in Ossabaw sections than in cross-bred (lean) sections at 90 and 110 days gestation. Enzyme and lipid histochemistry showed fat cell cluster development to be largely independent of fetal strain (Ossabaw vs crossbred). However, adipocytes in Ossabaw fetuses were larger (110 days) and more reactive for esterase activity (all three ages) than were adipocytes from crossbred fetuses. Fetuses from USDA-obese dams had larger fat cell diameters (P less than 0.01), a higher percentage of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) positive cells than did fetuses from USDA-lean dams. Perirenal fat pad weights, percent depot lipid, percentages of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) positive cells were independent of fetal strain (USDA, lean vs obese). Fat cell cluster development was independent of fetal strain but large cellular condensations of presumptive cells were only present in sections from lean fetuses. Immature capillary beds (devoid of adipocytes) were demonstrable in lean sections but were not observed in obese sections. Morphological and histochemical results from both studies provide no evidence for brown adipocyte-like cells in fetal perirenal tissues.
