The intracellular localization of a Cl--HCO3--ATPase, which is inhibited by SCN-, was studied in the gills of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. This activity can be measured in the absence of contamination by mitochondria (i.e., in the absence of succinate dehydrogenase or cytochrome c oxidase activities). The distribution of the 5'-nucleotidase and of the ATPase stimulated by Cl- and HCO3- after sucrose density gradient centrifugation of the microsomal fraction was compared. Because those activities cannot be separated, it is postulated that the anion-stimulated ATPase is located in the plasma membrane. The activation of this microsomal anion ATPase by chloride has been studied extensively. The possible role of the Cl--HCO3--ATPase of trout gills in the Cl-/HCO3- exchange and in the regulation of the internal acid-base balance is discussed.

In an in vitro study with rat liver, ammonium meta vanadate (NH4VO3) was found to inhibit microsomal ketamine N-demethylation, lipid peroxidation, and hydrogen peroxide formation; to have no effects on 4-methylaminoantipyrine N-demethylation and on glucuronyltransferase I activity, and to enhance glucuronyltransferase II. Mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c reductase were inhibited but cytochrome oxidase activity was enhanced by ammonium vanadate. Ammonium meta vanadate increased malate dehydrogenase activity but had no effect on glutamate, lactate, glycerophosphate, isocitrate, glucose-6-phosphate, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases.

The diurnal rhythms of the microsomal flavoprotein NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity, of diaphorase and of succinic dehydrogenase are presented. Minimum levels are ascertained at 09(00), maximum levels at 21(00). The concentration of mitochondrial radicals as a function of the time of day is also demonstrated. Here too the minimum is at 09(00) and the maximum between 15(00) and 21(00). On the other hand, GSH levels are found to be high between 09(00) and 12(00) and low in the evening. Thus a causative relationship between the concentration of cellular radicals, which originate in flavin enzymes, and the concentration of the tripeptide glutathione is assumed.

Microsomal vesicles prepared from rat brain contain a Na+-Ca2+ exchange transport system capable of accumulating Ca2+ in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. The Ca2+ accumulated by these vesicles was released by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 but not by EGTA. The Km value for Ca2+ uptake was 23 microM with a maximal velocity of 21 nmol Ca2+/mg per min. Ca2+ uptake was significantly inhibited by La3+, Sr2+, Mn2+ and Ba2+ and to a lesser extent by Mg2+. 45Ca2+ accumulated by Na+-dependent uptake could be released by 40Ca2+, indicating the presence of a Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange activity in the microsomes. Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange was stimulated in Li+- and K+-containing media as compared to choline+ media. Microsomes also catalyzed ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake (in the absence of Na+ gradient). The Ca2+ sequestered by this mechanism could be released by extravesicular Na+, indicating that both the ATP-dependent and the Na+-dependent Ca2+ uptake systems are present in the same membrane. The microsomal preparation used did not contain measurable amounts of succinate dehydrogenase activity or oligomycin-azide-dinitrophenol sensitive ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. Thus, the Ca2+ accumulation observed was not due to contaminating mitochondria. The preparation was enriched for 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (plasma membrane markers) as well as antimycin A-resistant NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reductase activity (an endoplasmic reticulum marker).

A decrease in MAO by gastrin stimulation was observed in 13 of 20 hyperthyroid patients. Five of these 13 cases had achlorhydria. The decrease in gastric acid secretion had no relation to the duration of symptoms, serum T3 and T4 levels, serum antithyroglobulin antibody levels and serum antithyroid microsomal antibody levels. Gastroscopy with biopsy was performed in 17 cases. In patients with achlorhydria, macroscopic and histological atrophy was not observed in the body, and parietal cells were present and their succinic dehydrogenase activity was normal. Electron microscopy of the parietal cells of patients with achlorhydria showed that their cells were similar to those in the resting state of healthy subjects with the ability to secrete normal amounts of gastric acid. These findings demonstrate that the decrease in gastric acid secretion in hyperthyroidism is not caused by any structural changes in the gastric mucosa but by functional suppression. In the present experiment, this suppression was found resistant to gastrin. A rise in serum gastrin level was observed in 8 cases. Either achlorhydria or marked hypoacidity was found in 6 cases with the level more than 400 pg/ml. The HCl administration temporarily lowered elevated gastrin levels, and feedback inhibition by HCl was found to be maintained. A rise in gastric pH was considered to be one of the prerequisites for an increase in serum gastrin level.

2-Month-old male Wistar rats were given sodium tetraborate in drinking water (3 g/l). Cerebral succinate dehydrogenase activity increased after 10 and 14 weeks of exposure. Increased RNA concentration and increased acid proteinase activity in brain occurred after 14 weeks. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity and cytochrome b5 content decreased in the liver microsomal fraction after 10 and 14 weeks. A reduction in the cytochrome P-450 concentration was detected at 14 weeks. The results support the hypothesis that borate anion exerts its toxic action by interfering with flavin metabolism in flavoprotein-dependent pathways.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity (substrate: tyramine) has been studied in rat intestinal wall mitochondrial fractions identified by monitoring succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activities. The MAO activity, which was not due to contamination with mitochondria, has been also found in nuclear and microsomal (+hyaloplasm) fractions. Deamination of tyramine, serotonin and dopamine by rat intestinal mitochondrial MOA obeyed the Michaelis--Mentern kinetics. The Vmax values were the highest for deamination of tyramine, the lowest--for norepinephrine. The lowest Km value was recorded in the systems with 2-phenylethylamine. Data on the inhibitory effect of low concentrations of deprenyl suggest that 50% of the total tyramine deaminating activity in rat intestinal mitochondria was due to presence of MAO type B. Low concentrations of chlorgyline inhibited the deamination of tyramine in these systems by 20-30% suggesting a possibility of presence in the rat intestinal mitochondria of a tyramine deaminating activity distinct from MAO type A. Pyrazidol or harmine, which are selective inhibitors of the MAO type A, caused only partial (30-40%) inhibition of MAO activity (substrate: tyramine) in rat intestinal mitochondria. Controlled heating experiments indicated higher thermostability of MAO type B (substrate: 2-phenylethylamine) as compared with MAO type A (substrate: serotonin) in rat intestinal mitochondria. The data obtained suggest that rat intestinal mitochondria, contrary to human intestinal mucosa (cf. ref. 2), contain about 50% of MAO type B, which is comparatively thermostable and does not resemble in this respect the MAO type B in many other biological sources.

Two enriched plasma membrane subfractions were obtained from syncytiotrophoblast isolated from human placenta. They were isolated from a "crude" plasma membrane fraction at the buffer-24% and 24-30% (w/w) sucrose interfaces of a sucrose gradient; another enriched plasma membrane fraction was isolated from the microsomal fraction at buffer-24% (w/w) sucrose interface and was similar to that isolated from the "crude" plasma membrane fraction at the same sucrose density. Although all three subfractions contain a high specific activity in 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase, the specific activity was twofold higher in the lighter than in the heavier subfractions. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase, monoamine oxidase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase indicated very low contamination with other organelles. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis resolved the polypeptides of the plasma membrane subfractions into about 14 major protein bands; no differences were observed in the patterns of the two enriched plasma membrane subfractions derived from the "crude" plasma membrane fraction.

Toxicological studies of a leachable stabilizer Di-n-butyltin dilaurate (DBTL) were undertaken. Effects of DBTL after 15 days oral exposure to rats were studied on brain and liver enzyme activities. A significant decrease in body weight gain of DBTL exposed rats were observed. No effect was observed in the activities of brain enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase, adenosine triphosphatase, acetylcholine esterase and monoamine oxidase. In liver, DBTL treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the activities of microsomal enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase, aminopyrine-N-demethylase, benzphetamine-N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase and also on cytochrome P-450 content, whereas no difference in the activities of mitochondrial enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase, Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase as well as in the activity of lysosomal enzyme acid phosphatase was observed. Duration of exposure dependent increase in pentabarbital induced sleeping time was also observed. DBTL treatment produced an induction in heme oxygenase activity whereas the activity of -aminolevulinic acid synthetase remained unaltered. The results demonstrate that DBTL significantly affects the biotransformation mechanism and heme metabolism of hepatocytes.

The acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine by isolated subcellular fractions of guinea-pig cerebral cortex has been determined. The microsomal fraction contained the highest acylation activity, in terms of both specific and total activity. In all particulate fractions, including synaptic plasma membrane and mitochondria, there was a high correlation (correlation coefficient r = 0.90; P less than 0.001) between acylation and the activity of the microsomal enzyme, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. No correlation existed between acylation and the activities of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, acetylcholinesterase or succinate dehydrogenase. Acyl-CoA synthetase and lysophosphatidylcholine/acyltransferase, the individual enzymes responsible for acylation were enriched in the microsomal fraction. The activities of both enzymes in subcellular fractions correlated well with those of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, with the exception that acyl-CoA synthetase activity in the mitochondrial fraction was largely independent of endoplasmic reticulum. Neither synaptic plasma membranes nor mitochondria appeared to possess significant amounts of acyltransferase activity. The results indicate that the acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine is confined to the endoplasmic reticulum, and that activity present in the synaptic plasma membrane or mitochondrial fraction is attributable to microsomal contamination.
