Fetuses were decapitated in one uterine horn in each of 14 sows at 45 d of gestation. Control (C) and decapitated (D) fetuses were removed by Caesarean section from three sows at 65 d of gestation (total of 10 D and 10 C fetuses), two sows at 85 d (six D and six C fetuses) and nine sows at 110 d (nine C and nine D fetuses) of gestation (Exp. 1). In Exp. 2, four to six fetuses were removed from each of two Ossabaw (O) gilts and three crossbred (C, Landrace X Yorkshire) gilts at 70 d of gestation, from three C and O gilts at 90 d of gestation and from three C and two O gilts at 110 d of gestation. In Exp. 1, one semitendinosis muscle was removed for histochemistry, whereas the contralateral muscle was removed and weighed. A medial portion of biceps femoris muscle was removed and used for histochemistry in Exp. 2. In both experiments, transverse sections (cryostat) of muscle were stained for lipid, glycogen (PAS) and the following enzymes: acid ATPase, NADH-TR, NADPH-TR, malate dehydrogenase (NAD- and NADP-dependent reactions; MDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (with and without NAD; alpha-GPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent; ICDH), esterase, lipoprotein lipase and lipase. In Exp. 1, body and muscle weights of the two groups were not significantly different (P greater than .05) at 65 d of gestation, whereas D fetuses were smaller and had lighter weight muscles (P less than .05) at 85 d of gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In view of the physiological importance of adrenocortical lipid peroxidation, we have carried out subcellular fractionation to determine the location of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme which protects against lipid peroxidation. Glutathione peroxidase is present in both cytosolic (92%) and mitochondrial (8%) fractions. The small activity in mitochondria is not due to contamination by the cytosolic activity as evidenced by several rigorous approaches. The mitochondrial enzyme is located in the matrix and appears to be effective in protection from NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidative damage of cytochrome P-450 and succinic dehydrogenase, which are located exclusively in the inner membrane.

1. The kinetic and metabolic properties of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme LDH(x) from human sperm cells and rat testes were studied. 2. LDH(x) shows a sensitivity to inhibition by stilboestrol diphosphate, urea and guanidinium chloride different from that of the LDH-H(4) and LDH-M(4) isoenzymes. 3. About 10 and 20% of the total lactate dehydrogenase activity of testes and sperm cells respectively were associated with particulate fractions. In sperm cells 11% was localized in the middle piece and 18.8% in the head fraction. LDH(x) was found in all particulate fractions of sperm cells. The middle piece contained 41.0% of total LDH(x) activity and showed high succinate dehydrogenase activity. 5. The pH-dependence of lactate/pyruvate and NAD(+)/NADH concentration ratios were estimated. Lactate dehydrogenase in sperm cells has maximal activity with NADH as coenzyme at pH7.5 and with NADPH as coenzyme at pH6.0. At pH6.0 a 10% greater oxidation of NADPH than of NADH was found. At acid pH lactate hydrogenase may function as an enzyme bringing about transhydrogenation from NADPH to NAD(+). 6. In agreement with the stoicheiometry of the lactate de- hydrogenase reaction, the lactate/pyruvate concentration ratio decreased with increasing pH. 7. The lactate/pyruvate and NAD(+)/NADH concentration ratios were estimated with glucose, fructose and sorbitol as substrates and as a function of time after addition of these substrates. During a 20min. period after the addition of the substrates, changes in lactate/pyruvate and NAD(+)/NADH concentration ratios were noticed. Increasing concentration of the substrates mentioned gave rise to asymptotic increases in lactate and pyruvate. 8. Sorbitol did not act as a substrate for LDH(x). 9. The findings described are consistent with the idea that LDH(x) is different from other known lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, but that it has a metabolic function similar to that of the isoenzymes of other tissues.

1. A spectroscopic resolution has been made of the components contributing to the ;iron-flavoprotein' trough extending from 450 to 520nm in the reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectrum of submitochondrial particles of Torulopsis utilis. 2. Seven components were identified other than cytochrome b, ubiquinone and succinate dehydrogenase. On the basis of the effects of iron- and sulphate-limited growth of cells on their subsequently derived electron-transport particles, and also by consideration of analytical measurements of the concentration of FMN, FAD, non-haem iron and acid-labile sulphide in the electron-transport particles in relation to the magnitude of the spectroscopic changes, it was possible to identify five of these components as follows: species 1a, the flavin of NADH dehydrogenase ferroflavoprotein; species 1b, the iron-sulphur component of NADH dehydrogenase ferroflavoprotein; species 1', the flavin of an NADPH dehydrogenase; species 2, an iron-sulphur or ferroflavoprotein component; species 3, the flavin of l-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. Two additional components were a fluorescent flavoprotein, probably lipoamide dehydrogenase, and a b-type cytochrome reducible by NADH or NADPH but not reoxidizable by the respiratory chain. 3. Species 1b and 2 were undetectable in electron-transport particles from iron- or sulphate-limited cells, but could be recovered in vivo under non-growing conditions. 4. The recovery in vivo of species 2 but not species 1b was inhibited by cycloheximide. 5. The recovery of species 1b correlates with the recovery of site 1 conservation. 6. The recovery of species 1b with species 2 correlates with the recovery of piericidin A sensitivity. 7. Evidence is presented for an NADPH dehydrogenase distinct from NADH dehydrogenase. The oxidation of NADH and NADPH by the respiratory chain is sensitive to piericidin A, and an iron-sulphur protein common to both pathways (species 2) is suggested as the piericidin A-sensitive component. 8. The approximate E'(0) (pH7.0) values of species 1 (a and b, low potential) and species 2 (high potential) indicate that site 1 energy conservation occurs between the levels of species 1 (a and b) and species 2.

1. Hepatic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was increased in rats exposed to 5lb/in(2) (equivalent to 27000ft), 100% O(2) when compared with control animals in a 14.7lb/in(2) (sea level), air environment. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase were not affected by the 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) environment. 2. Animals exposed to the hyperoxic environment consumed food, expired CO(2) and gained weight at the same rate as normoxic control animals. Additionally, blood glucose and liver glycogen concentrations were unchanged in the hyperoxic animals. The only readily apparent physiological difference in the hyperoxic animals was a decreased haematocrit. 3. The increase in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was eliminated by the injection of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. 4. Expiration of (14)CO(2) from [1-(14)C]glucose was approximately the same in hyperoxic and normoxic rats. However, (14)CO(2) expiration from [6-(14)C]glucose was markedly decreased in the animals exposed to the hyperoxic environment. 5. Calculations of the relative importance of the pentose phosphate pathway versus the tricarboxylic acid cycle plus glycolysis indicated that the livers from animals in the 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) environment metabolized twice as much carbohydrate by way of the pentose phosphate pathway as did those from the sea-level air control animals. 6. In livers of rats exposed to 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) the concentrations of pyruvate, citrate and 2-oxoglutarate were increased, that of isocitrate was slightly elevated, whereas the concentrations of succinate, fumarate and malate were decreased. 7. An inactivation of both tricarboxylic acid cycle lipoate-containing dehydrogenases, pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate, under hyperoxic conditions is proposed. 8. The adaptive significance of the induction of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the resultant production of NADPH under hyperoxic conditions is discussed.

Cells of the aerotolerant anaerobe Giardia lamblia respire in the presence of oxygen. Endogenous respiration is stimulated by glucose but not by other carbohydrates and Krebs cycle intermediates. Endogenous and glucose-stimulated respiration are insensitive to cyanide, malonate, and 2,4-dinitrophenol, but are inhibited by atabrin and iodoacetamide. G. lamblia produces ethanol, acetate and CO2 both aerobically and anaerobically either from endogenous reserves or exogenous glucose. Molecular hydrogen is not produced. The following enzyme activities were detected in homogenates: hexokinase, fructose-biphosphate aldolase, pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, malate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), pyruvate synthase, acetyl-CoA synthetase, alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+), NADH dehydrogenase, NADPH dehydrogenase, NADPH oxidoreductase and superoxide dismutase. The enzymes of energy and carbohydrate metabolism are nonsedimentable (109 000 x g for 30 min). Activities of lactate dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, phosphate acetyltransferase, acetate kinase, citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase and catalase were below the limits of detection. The results suggest the occurrence of glycolysis, energy production by substrate level phosphorylation and a flavin, iron-sulfur protein mediated electron transport system as well as the absence of cytochrome mediated oxidative phosphorylation and functional Krebs cycle.

This paper describes a method for separating and isolating plasma membranes from the septated fungus Podospora anserina. Plasma membranes were isolated from protoplasts (young cell plasma membranes) and mycelia (both young and aged cell plasma membranes). The procedure of fractionation consisted of a combination of differential and isopycnic centrifugations. Characterization of cellular membranes and enrichment of the fractions with plasmalemma were carried out by assays on enzymatic activities. A plasma membrane fraction was isolated in a buoyant density peak of 1.087 g/cm3, where three enzymatic activities bound to plasma membrane, adenylate cyclase, chitin synthase, and beta-glucan synthase at low affinity for UDP-Glc, peaked together. Good purity of this fraction was determined by the absence or the very low level of other enzymatic activities used as markers for intracellular membranes, i.e., succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-mannosidase, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, and beta-glucan synthase at high affinity for UDP-Glc activities.

Cryostat sections from the mesonephros of various pig embryos with a crown-rump-length of between 17 and 95 mm were used for light microscopical assays of acid hydrolases (acid phosphatase, beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucuronidase), oxidoreductases (succinic dehydrogenase, NADH- and NADPH-tetrazolium reductase) and adenosine triphosphatases (Mg2+- and Na+--K+-ATPase). Our main intention was to distinguish more accurately between the different parts of the pig's nephron, which is exceedingly long and coiled. The proximal tubule, that exhibits a high activity for acid phosphatase but none in beta-D-glucuronidase incubations, shows no subsegmentation apart from a stronger reaction of its initial segment that was apparent in three of our assays. In the distal tubule, a preattachment convolution, an attachment zone, and a postattachment coil can be discriminated by a synopsis of all histiograms. The beginning of the collecting tubule is situated in the middle of the organ and not at its dorsal face as was previously believed. Up to three different segments can be discriminated in the collecting tubule. The distal and the collecting tubule harbor on ouabain-sensitive Na+--K+-ATPase activity which decreases considerably towards the Wolffian duct. The enzymatic maturation of the mesonephric pig nephron is almost completed in 17 mm embryos.

When strain C3 of Klebsiella pneumoniae is grown on a minimal medium with excess glucose, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase specific activities increase in the last period of the exponential growth phase and in the beginning of the stationary phase. Glucose exhaustion does not alter the development of malate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase, but specific activities are higher than those obtained with excess glucose. In contrast, glucose exhaustion can be correlated with a decrease of isocitrate dehydrogenase specific activity in the stationary phase. Induction of strain C3 isocitrate dehydrogenase by glucose in complex medium and repression by cAMP in mineral medium were observed. Glucose induction and the NADP/NADPH ratio are suggested as regulatory mechanisms controlling isocitrate dehydrogenase synthesis in the Enterobacteriaceae, but the former appears to be restricted to some Klebsiella strains.

Histochemical analysis for NADP-dependent dehydrogenases, succinate dehydrogenase, NADH and NADPH- tetrazoleum reductases and esterase was conducted on primary cultures of adipose tissue stromal-vascular cells. Enzyme activities were restricted to clusters of lipid laden cells (adipocytes). The number of enzyme reactive adipocytes increased with length of culture. Coverslips were partially coated with collagen to allow comparisons of cell differentiation on coated (C-glass) and uncoated glass (U-glass) surface. There were no reactions for NADH- and NADPH- tetrazoleum reductases (TR) in cells on C-glass whereas adipocytes and stromal cells on U-glass were reactive. Glucose-6-phosphate (G6PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate (6PGDH) dehydrogenase activities were markedly demonstrated in both stromal cells and adipocytes on U-glass. Malate (MDH) and isocitrate (ICDH) dehydrogenase activities were higher in adipocytes than in stromal cells on the U-glass. Stromal cells on C-glass were either devoid of these enzymes (G6PDH, MDH, 6PGDH, ICDH) or activity was restricted to a small area of the cytoplasm. There were two levels of staining intensity in (MDH, ICDH, G6PDH, 6PGDH) adipocyte clusters on C-glass. Elimination of phenazine methosulphate from the NADP-dependent dehydrogenase medias and SDH media, caused a reduction in enzyme reactive adipocytes on the C-glass. This manipulation did not reduce the number of enzyme reactive cells on U-glass. Cells on C-glass and U-glass were distinctly different in esterase stained coverslips. These studies demonstrated enzyme histochemical reactions of adipocytes and stromal cells in primary culture that were dependent on the type of extracellular matrix. Furthermore, enzyme histochemistry was shown to be useful for delineating adipocytes from stromal cells in primary cultures.
