The functional thyroid status of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-treated rats is unknown. Therefore, activities of certain thyroid-responsive enzymes were examined in the livers of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats 1 week after treatment with TCDD (6.25, 25 or 100 micrograms/kg). Activity of the thyroid-responsive flavin L-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (per mg mitochondrial protein) was decreased slightly in livers of TCDD-treated rats, while that of succinate dehydrogenase remained unchanged. In contrast, activities (per mg supernatant protein) of three thyroid-responsive NADP-dependent cytosolic enzymes, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, were increased by TCDD treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Lactate dehydrogenase (activity per mg supernatant protein) was also augmented slightly 1 week after TCDD administration. Liver mass was increased by TCDD treatment in a dose-dependent manner, but DNA content per liver was similar at all doses examined. Total hepatic protein, expressed per liver or mg hepatic DNA, was increased in TCDD-treated rats when compared to their pair-fed counterparts. The decreased activity of the mitochondrial L-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, in contrast to the increased activities of the supernatant enzymes, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, is not consistent with a shift in functional thyroid status following TCDD treatment.

A quantitative histochemical method (Trident) has been adapted to measure the activities of 4 enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase (SD), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), within the liver acini of the rat during the postnatal developmental period. Quantitative changes of these enzymes in livers of rats of 25 g and 50 g body weight were studied, with particular emphasis on the activity-rest cycle. The results indicate a time-dependent heterogeneous distribution of enzymes along the acinar zones and the pattern of localization is age-dependent. When the mean enzyme activity from each group in relation to the time of the day are compared, a mirror image of each other could be seen. In general, a high enzyme activity has been observed during the resting phase in 25-g rats and low in 50-g rats. During the developmental period, the mean ICD activity is diminished, whereas G6PD and 6-PGD are augmented, and SD activity remains unchanged.

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.

1. Homogenates of the mucosa of the small intestine of the guinea pig were separated by fractional sedimentation into seven different fractions. The enzymic properties of some of these subcellular fractions were compared with those obtained from the mucosa of the small intestine of the rabbit and cat. 2. The enzymic properties of the low-speed sediment (15000g-min.) were investigated and it was shown that invertase and alkaline ribonuclease were predominantly located in this subcellular fraction, whereas alkaline phosphatase, aryl-amidase, acid phosphatase, acid ribonuclease and phosphoprotein phosphatase, though true constituents of this fraction, occurred to varying degrees in other subcellular structures also. 3. It was shown that the most probable source of the enzymic activities observed in the low-speed sediment was the brush border. Electron micrographs of the purified brush-border fraction indicated vesicles derived from the brush-border membrane. 4. A method is described for the fractionation of mucosal homogenates into a brush border-plus-nuclei fraction, a mitochondrial fraction, a microsomal fraction and a particle-free supernatant. The fractions were shown to be relatively pure, as indicated by the distribution of invertase, DNA, succinate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphatase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. 5. Most of the activity of four lysosomal enzymes present in the nuclei-free homogenate was sedimented at 375000g-min., suggesting the occurrence of lysosomal particles in mucosal homogenates. 6. Further fractionation of the microsomal membranes into three fractions is described. The enzymic composition of the membrane fractions is given and discussed in relation to their structure as seen in electron micrographs.

Crude extracts of both vegetative cells and glycerol-induced microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus contained the following enzyme activities: phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, fructosediphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase. With the exception of isocitrate dehydrogenase, which was present at a fivefold higher concentration in microcysts, all activities in extracts from both types of cells were essentially equal. Hexokinase and pyruvate kinase could not be detected in extracts from either type of cell. Microcysts metabolized acetate at a lower rate than did vegetative cells. Most of this decrease was reflected in a substantial decrease in ability of microcysts to oxidize acetate to CO(2). In addition, microcysts and vegetative cells showed a different distribution of (14)C-label from incorporated acetate.

Enzyme histochemical methods were performed on sporozoite infected liver tissue of rats in order to gain insight into the nutrition and metabolism of exoerythrocytic forms of Plasmodium berghei. The following enzymes were demonstrated in the hepatocytic stages of the parasites, obtained 41 and 48 h after inoculation of sporozoites: acid phosphatase, cytochrome oxidase, NADH-tetrazolium reductase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD+ and NADP+ dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, NADP+-dependent malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenases, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases and alpha-glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase. The results suggest that a conventional Embden-Meyerhoff pathway, pentose phosphate pathway and Krebs' citric acid cycle may in part be present in these exoerythrocytic parasites. Alkaline phosphatase, nucleoside polyphosphatase, 5' nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, alpha-glucan phosphorylase, NAD+ dependent malate dehydrogenase, amino-peptidase M and non-specific esterases were not detected by our techniques in the parasite. The enzyme distribution of this intrahepatocytic malaria parasite revealed by histochemistry is compared with the enzyme distribution in the other phases of the parasite's life cycle.

In porcine interareolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, 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 most of the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Only G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH activities increased within the uterine epithelium and nonspecific esterase activity within uterine as well as chorionic epithelia during the 2nd half of pregnancy. Within chorionic and uterine epithelia, hydrolases but not dehydrogenases demonstrated a higher activity at the bases of chorionic villi as compared to the apices and flanks of the latter. The action and influence of the demonstrated enzymes on metabolism, energy transfer, secretory, and resorptive activities of chorionic and uterine epithelia are discussed.

Intramuscular injections of the title drug in a dose of 5 mg/kg (5% of the LD50) during 10 days produced in the liver and blood serum of white rats a decrease in the activity of glucokinase, succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, ATPase and ceruloplasmin. The urea content in total phospholipids rose, whereas the content of triglycerides and hexosamine diminished. Ten and 20 days after the drug was discontinued the majority of these characteristics returned to normal. The activity of glucosophosphate isomerase, transketolase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase as well as the content of total cholesterol, free fatty acids, tyrosine, hydroxyproline, total protein, RNA and DNA remained unchanged.

14C-labeled bicarbonate was incorporated into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material by cell suspensions of A. viscosus strain M100 and also into the four-carbon fermentation product, succinate, but not into the three-carbon fermentation product, lactate. The initial step in the conversion of 14C-labeled bicarbonate into both trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material and succinate was catalyzed by the enzyme phosphoenolypyruvate carboxylase, which served to convert the glycolytic intermediate, phosphoenolpyruvate, and bicarbonate to the four-carbon compound, oxalacetate. The metabolic fate of oxalacetate was its conversion to either trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material or succinate. One pathway by which oxalacetate may be metabolized into acid-insoluble material is via its conversion to the biosynthetic precursor aspartate by the action of glutamate aspartate aminotransferase. One source of the alpha-amino group of aspartate was the ammonium ion, which could be incorporated into glutamate, the substrate of the glutamate aspartate aminotransferase reaction, by the action of a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase whose reducing equivalents could be derived from the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent oxidative reactions of the hexose monophosphate pathway catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Alternatively, oxalacetate was converted to the fermentation product, succinate, through the sequential action of malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and succinic dehydrogenase. The resolution and partial purification of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, glutamate aspartate aminotransferase, glutamate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and succinic dehydrogenase are also reported.

Metastases in rat liver were generated experimentally by intraportal injection of colon cancer cells to investigate the effects of cancerous growth on the metabolism of surrounding liver tissue. Maximum activities (capacity) of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase and adenosine triphosphatase have been determined. Two types of metastases were found, a small type surrounded by stroma and a larger type in direct contact with hepatocytes. Both types affected the adjacent tissue in a similar way suggesting that the interactions were not mediated by stroma. High capacity of the degradation pathway of extracellular purines released from dead cells of either tumours or host tissue was found in stroma and sinusoidal cells. Metastases induced both an increase in the number of Kupffer cells and proliferation of hepatocytes. The distribution pattern in the liver lobulus of most enzymes investigated did not change distinctly. However, activity of alkaline phosphatase, succinate dehydrogenase and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was increased in hepatocytes directly surrounding metastases. These data imply that the overall metabolic zonation in liver lobuli is not dramatically disturbed by the presence of cancer cells despite the fact that various metabolic processes in liver cells are affected.
