Histologic investigations together with histochemical and photometric measurements of enzyme activities were performed in retina of rabbits, whose blood supply had been totally interrupted for 1h. A retinal edema developed affecting the internal layers between the inner limiting membrane and the internal plexiform and ganglion cell layer. Although this edema was quite remarkable at the posterior pole of the eye, it diminished toward the periphery, disappearing near the ora serrata. The activities of the following enzymes were investigated: hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, ATPase, and phosphorylase. The most striking finding was the total disappearance of phosphorylase activity under pressure ischemia. ATPase and aldolase showed a decreased activity in the ischemic retina, and malate dehydrogenase a slightly diminished one. Concerning the other enzymes, no significant differences between normal and ischemic retina were observed.

The coprodaeum of the domestic hen maintained on a low-NaCl diet adapts by enhanced sodium transport. This study examines the adaptive response at the single cell and whole organ levels. Surface areas of apical (microvillous) and basolateral plasma membranes of columnar absorptive epithelial cells were estimated by use of ultrastructural stereology. The activities of succinic dehydrogenase (a mitochondrial enzyme) and ouabain-sensitive, potassium-dependent paranitrophenyl phosphatase (a sodium pump enzyme) were determined in tissue homogenates. Sodium, potassium-ATPase (pump enzyme) activity in cell membranes was localized by ultrastructural cytochemistry. Apical and basolateral membranes responded differently. In high-NaCl hens, the membrane signature of the average cell was 32 microns 2 (apical), 932 microns 2 (lateral) and 17 microns 2 (basal). Cells from low-NaCl hens had more apical membrane (49 microns 2 per cell) but essentially the same area of basolateral membrane. However, total surfaces per organ were greater for all membranes. Sodium pump enzymes were localized in basolateral membranes. Enzyme activities per unit mitochondrial volume and per unit basolateral membrane surface were higher in low-NaCl birds. These findings are discussed in the context of known mechanisms of transcellular sodium transport via apical ion channels and basolateral pumps.

Electron microscopic enzyme cytochemical reactions of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite showed that acid phosphatase (ACP) and cytidine monophosphatase (CMPase) were located in the lysosomes. The lysosome containing enzymes were distributed in the endoplasm and beneath the plasmalemma, and the releasing enzymes by lysosomes excreted outside of the plasmalemma and caused the injury to host cells. The cytochemical positive reactions of catalase and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) showed that E. histolytica contains microbodies and endoplasmic reticulum. The reactive products of peroxidase (POase) were seen in the lysosome-like structure. The reactions of cytochrome oxidase (COase) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) were both negative, indicating that E. histolytica lacked mitochondria. The reactions of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPase) were both negative, indicating that E. histolytica lacked Golgi body. The reactions of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase were located on plasmalemma.

The effect of lead on hepatic mitochondria and microsomes of chick embryo was studied with special attention to the role of lipid peroxidation in the manifestation of lead toxicity. Mitochondrial enzymes such as succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome C oxidase and ATPase were found to decrease in a dose dependent manner upon lead administration. Further, mitochondrial cytochromes, microsomal cytochrome P-450 and heme levels were reduced considerably with concomitant increase of mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxides. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to correlate the lead induced lipid peroxidation, the loss of mitochondrial and microsomal hemoproteins and the inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes in chick embryo.

It has been established in experiments on white rats that antituberculous drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol) given in toxic doses affect the liver, its membranes and organelles, inhibit bile production and bioenergy. This is supported by activation of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase in blood serum and acid phosphatase in the liver, by a decrease of the activity of Na(+)-, K(+)-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochromoxidase in the liver, lowering of the rate of bile secretion, excretion of bile acids, bilirubin and cholesterol with bile. Provided the drugs are administered in combination, the hepatotoxicity rises, particularly in combination of isoniazid with rifampicin, and especially as isoniazid is combined with rifampicin and ethambutol.

Recent evidence suggests that exercise training results in a significant improvement in the oxidative capacity of the mammalian diaphragm; however, limited data exist concerning which diaphragmatic fiber types are metabolically altered due to training. To test the hypothesis that exercise training increases the oxidative capacity of diaphragmatic type I and IIa fibers only, we examined the effects of endurance training on the fiber type specific changes in oxidative capacity, cross-sectional area, and capillarity of the costal diaphragm. Female Fischer-344 rats (age ca 180 days) were divided into either sedentary control group (n = 6) or an exercise training group (n = 6). The trained animals exercised for 10 wks on a motor-driven treadmill (60 min.day-1; 5 days.wk-1) at a work rate equal to ca 55-65% VO2max. Capillaries were identified histologically and fiber types determined using ATPase histochemistry. Fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in individual fibers were measured using a computerized image analysis system. Compared to control animals, training did not increase the capillary to fiber ratio in any diaphragm fiber type (P greater than 0.05); however, training increased capillary density (capillary No./CSA) in type IIa fibers due to a reduction in cell CSA (P less than 0.05). Further, training resulted in significant (P less than 0.05) increases in total diaphragmatic SDH activity (delta increase = 17.5%) and an increase in SDH activity in both type I (delta increase = 14%) and IIa fibers (delta increase = 17.4%). In contrast, training did not alter (P greater than 0.05) SDH activity in type IIb fibers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

While laboratory experimental model of coronary heart disease (according to Frol'kis et al.) is developed, activity of succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Na+, Ka(+)- and Mg2+ ATPase decreases, but activity of lactate dehydrogenase and concentrations of lactic and pyruvic acids in the heart tissue increase. At the same time concentration of glycogene increases more than twice. As far as we can see there is an evidence of a decrease of glycogene utilization due to change in levels of regulatory processes. Despite a decrease of ATP synthesis by the inhibition of tricarboxylic acid cycle the ATP:ADP relation reduces to ATP, as emphatic inhibition of ATPase in the heart tissues takes place in development of the model of the coronary heart disease. The relation between ATP and ADP is considered as a regulator of glycogene utilization. In the liver tissue activity of succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Na+, K(+)- and Mg2+ ATPase falls, while concentrations of lactic acid grow. No accumulation of glycogen is observed. It is obvious that there are controversial metabolic processes. Experimental data are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to observe changes in muscle after severance of its main innervation, especially the changes in its volume and weight. In ten rabbits, it was found that the reduction of the volume of gastrocnemius muscle flap was 47.8%, and that of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles was 50.5% one month after the severance of the tibial nerve, while their weights were decreased 47.6%, 51.3% and 46.9% respectively. After three months the respective reduction in volume was 40.3%, 32.3% and 38.8%, while the weight was reduced to 44.0%, 34.0 and 40.3%, respectively. Histological examination revealed capillary dilatation and congestion, decrease myofibrils and increase of adipose tissue. Evidence of diminution of muscular metabolism and energy consumption was found by histochemical study, including ATPase, phosphorylase, and succinic dehydrogenase staining. The result of electromyogram examination confirms the presence of muscle denervation.

The mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor proteins--the Pullman-Monroy inhibitor (PMI) and the Ca(2+)-binding protein (CaBI)--have a wide distribution, both being present in mitochondria of bovine heart and kidney, rat liver and brain, two mitochondrial populations of rabbit skeletal muscle, and mitochondria from human fibroblasts and the human breast cancer cell line T-47-D. The ratio of CaBI to PMI was highest in heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria. The subsarcolemmal fraction of skeletal muscle had 2.6-times as much CaBI as did the intermyofibrillar. The ratio of CaBI to PMI in the mitochondria of the other normal tissues and fibroblasts was close to 1. In contrast, mitochondria from T-47D cells had 1.5-times as much PMI as CaBI whilst mitochondria from fibroblasts from a patient with Luft's disease showed a virtual lack of PMI. The specific ATPase, ATP-synthetase and succinate dehydrogenase activities of the Luft's mitochondria were, however, in the normal range. The specific ATP synthetase activity of the T-47D cells was significantly higher than normal. We conclude that tissues like heart and skeletal muscle which experience wide fluctuations in intracellular Ca2+ have a greater need for CaBI. Why lack of PMI could lead to 'loose' coupling of oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle of Luft's patients, but not in fibroblasts is discussed.

Na-coupled D-glucose transport in rabbits with cis-diamminedichloride platinum (CDDP; cisplatin) induced acute renal failure (ARF) has been studied. ARF occurred at 3 days after injection of CDDP (3 mg/kg i.v.). Na-coupled D-glucose transport into brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from both outer cortex (OC) and outer medulla (OM) of ARF rabbits under zero-trans condition was decreased. Increased Km (i.e., decreased affinity of transport carrier for D-glucose) in OC and decreased Vmax (i.e., decreased number of glucose carrier) in OM were observed in CDDP-induced ARF rabbits. Decrease glucose transport was also observed under equilibrium exchange condition. Intravesicular volume of BBMV from OC and OM of ARF rabbits was decreased. In homogenate and BBMV from OC and OM of ARF rabbits, activities of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase (marker enzymes of brush-border membrane) were decreased. Activities of succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and Na-K ATPase (marker enzymes of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and basal lateral membrane, respectively) were not affected by CDDP administration. These results suggested that one of the main target sites of CDDP in kidney is brush-border membrane (BBM) along the proximal tubule, that is, not only Na-coupled D-glucose transport carrier protein but also other proteins in BBM.
