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.

In rats exposed to odourless kerosene of 75 and 300 mg/m3 concentration, for 14 weeks, morphologic and cytoenzymatic examinations of lungs have been carried out and acid-base equilibrium indices in blood have been determined. Passive congestion of lung parenchyma, subpleural blood extravasation, atelectasis foci, thickened interalveolar septa with infiltrates from neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and macrophages have been found. In addition a decrease in succinic dehydrogenase activity, NADPH -- tetrazolium reductase, and Mg++-ATP-ase and increase in acid phosphatase activity have been revealed. Those have been focal changes, involving, apart from bronchial tree (low exposure -- 75 mg/m3), the remaining lung parenchyma segments (high exposure -- 300 mg/m3). In addition, disturbances in acid-base equilibrium in form of compensated metabolic alkalosis (75 mg/m3) and compensated metabolic acidosis (300 mg/m3) have occurred. The obtained results demonstrate toxic effects of kerosene hydrocarbons on the function and structure of lungs.

The reductive carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate was found to proceed in mitochondria of rat epididymal fat pads and rabbit perirenal adipose tissue at a rate similar to that in liver mitochondria. In rat fat pads the incorporation of 14C from [5-14C]2-oxoglutarate into fatty acids via the carboxylation was suppressed by butylmalonate by 30%. 2-Oxoglutarate and glutamate stimulated the incorporation into fatty acids of 14C from [2-14C]acetate in rat fat pads with the simultaneous reduction of tissue NADP. These effects persisted after inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase by malonate. It is concluded that in adipose tissue 2-oxoglutarate carboxylation proceeds in both the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Therefore, it can supply carbon atoms as well as NADPH for fatty acid synthesis.

Adipose tissue from fetuses decapitated at 45 d of gestation was removed and structurally and histochemically analyzed at 65, 85 and 110 d of gestation. Subcutaneous adipose tissue from decapitated and control fetuses at 65 d of gestation was histologically and histochemically similar. A reduced number of fat cell clusters in the outer layer of subcutaneous tissue and a poorly developed dermis was evident in decapitated fetuses at 85 d of gestation. Fat cell size was similar for control and decapitated fetuses at 65 d of gestation, whereas cells in 85 d-old decapitated fetuses were larger than cells in control fetuses. Adipocytes from control and 85 d-old decapitated fetuses were histochemically similar except for an elevated number of esterase positive cells in decapitated fetuses. At 110 d of gestation, adipocytes from decapitated fetuses had higher activities of the following enzymes than did control adipocytes: malate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent) glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase NADP dependent), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent), NADPH-tetrazoleum reductase and esterase. Levels of succinate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase and NADH-tetrazoleum reductase were similar in cells from controls and decapitated fetuses. These data indicate that fetal decapitation probably exerts a positive influence on enzymes involved in lipid synthesis. However, fetal decapitation also exerts a negative influence on fat cell hyperplasia.

We investigated the changes of the inner-membrane components and the electron-transfer activities of bovine heart submitochondrial particles induced by the lipid peroxidation supported by NADPH in the presence of ADP-Fe3+. Most of the polyunsaturated fatty acids were lost as a result of the peroxidation, and phospholipids were changed to polar species. Ubiquinone was also modified to polar substances as the peroxidation proceeded. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed the disappearance of 27000-Mr and 30000-Mr proteins and the appearance of highly polymerized substances. Flavins and cytochromes were not diminished, but the respiratory activity was lost. The reactions of NADH oxidase and NADH-cytochrome c reductase were most sensitive to the peroxidation, followed by those of succinate oxidase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase. Succinate dehydrogenase and duroquinol-cytochrome c reductase were inactivated by more extensive peroxidation, but cytochrome c oxidase was only partially inactivated. NADH-ferricyanide reductase was not inactivated. The pattern of the inactivation indicated that the lipid peroxidation affected the electron transport intensively between NADH dehydrogenase and ubiquinone, and moderately at the succinate dehydrogenase step and between ubiquinone and cytochrome c.

Androgen binding activity was evaluated in different subcellular particulate fractions obtained by differential centrifugation of 32-day-old rat seminiferous tubules homogenates. After eliminating heavy particles by centrifugation at 4300 g during 4 min in 0.25 M sucrose buffer, a 27,000 g pellet was obtained and layered on 1.05 M sucrose buffer. The relatively light particulate interface (LPF) formed during centrifugation at 27,000 g 60 min, showed the highest androgen binding activity among particulate fractions. This binding was associated with the plasma membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase and it did not follow any of six other subcellular structure markers: DNA for nuclei, succinate dehydrogenase for mitochondria, acid phosphatase for lysosomes, NADPH-cytochrome C reductase for smooth endoplasmic reticulum, RNA for rough endoplasmic reticulum and lactate dehydrogenase for cytosol. In LPF, concentrations of sites were estimated to be 328 +/- 54 fmol per mg proteins and affinity constant 0.78 +/- 0.23 10(9) M-1. Heat stability, steroid specificity, affinity constant and rate of dissociation were similar to the well known androgen binding protein, ABP. Presence of ABP or a similar protein in subcellular particles might play a role in the mechanism of action of androgens in seminiferous tubules of maturing rats.

The enzymes involved in the catabolism of malate namely fumarate reductase, NADH oxidase, "malic" enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase and fumarase as well as NADPH:NAD transhydrogenase, which is involved in the electron transport chain, were studied in Hymenolepis diminuta, a rat intestinal tapeworm. Among cations, K+ had no effect on any enzyme whereas Ca2+ and Mg2+ showed an increase or decrease of varying degrees of different enzyme activities. Most of the compounds, which have been synthesized by the Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow (India) and found to possess some anthelmintic properties, strongly inhibited the above enzymes except malic enzyme.

To evaluate changes in metabolic heterogeneity in rat liver lobules after partial hepatectomy, we measured parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism cytophotometrically in periportal and pericentral zones of livers of mature female and male rats. Glycogen content was shown to be always higher in pericentral zones than in periportal zones. After a rapid depletion of glycogen stores during the first 8 hr after partial hepatectomy, the levels were restored to normal after 24 hr, but a significant depletion was found again at 48 hr after operation. These fluctuations were similar in female and male rat livers. The lipid content in control rat livers was low and was mainly localized in periportal zones. Partial hepatectomy caused a significant increase in lipid content after 24 to 48 hr in periportal zones only, which was distinctly higher in female than in male rat livers. Activity of NADPH-producing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was heterogeneously distributed in lobules of female control rats with highest activity in pericentral zones, whereas a lower but evenly distributed activity was found in lobules of control male rats. The activity was not affected by partial hepatectomy in male rats, whereas the activity in female rat livers decreased to levels found in male rats at 24 to 48 hr after operation. Another NADPH-producing enzyme, malate dehydrogenase, showed the highest activity pericentrally in female rats, and a low activity was evenly distributed in male rats. The activity did not change significantly after partial hepatectomy. The ketogenic enzyme beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase showed the highest activity in pericentral zones of control livers. The activity in male rat livers was almost twice as high as in female rat livers in both zones. Partial hepatectomy caused a distinct reduction in activity in both zones and both sexes, but the strongest reduction was found periportally. Alkaline phosphatase activity, which is linked with bile acid secretion by hepatocytes, was low in control male and female rats and was mainly found periportally. The activity was increased dramatically at 24 to 48 hr after partial hepatectomy in both zones and particularly in male rat livers. The index for the Krebs cycle, succinate dehydrogenase activity, was highest in periportal zones. At 24 to 48 hr after partial hepatectomy, this preferential zonation was lost, and the activity was slightly higher in pericentral zones. This reversal of zonation was found in all livers of female and male rats investigated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorionic tissues were separated manually from the placentae of seven healthy thoroughbred and three pony mares, ranging in gestational age from 100 to 318 days. The homogeneity of subcellular fractions prepared from these tissues was assessed initially using the marker enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase, NADPH cytochrome C reductase and lactate dehydrogenase for the mitochondrial, microsomal and cytosolic fractions, respectively. Light microscopy and histochemical analysis demonstrated that the separated fetal allantochorionic membrane, which is made up of allantoic and chorionic epithelia, contained no significant contamination of maternal tissues. The maternal endometrium, however, was found to contain appreciable amounts of fetal chorion torn off during the separation process. Tissue homogenates and subcellular fractions were incubated with testosterone together with [4-(14)C] and [(2)H5 or (2)H3] labelled analogues in either an NADPH (1 mM) or a NADPH-regenerating environment; control experiments (without additional cofactor) were also performed. After extraction of the tissue homogenates, neutral and phenolic (oestrogen) unconjugated steroids were separated by column chromatography. Radiolabelled studies revealed that in allantochorionic tissue incubations 67-77% of testosterone was converted to oestrogenic material, subcellular fractionation indicating that oestrogen production was largely confined to the microsomal fraction and time-course studies showing that the rate of formation appeared to be linear up to 90 min. In contrast, only 5-25% conversion occurred using maternal endometrial tissues, which could be accounted for by the contaminating presence of fetal chorion. No oestrogen production was detected in control incubations. These radiolabelled studies demonstrate that aromatase activity is located on the fetal allantochorionic surface and, together with the histochemical data, further delineate this activity to the chorion in mature equine placenta. Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of the phenolic extracts from allantochorionic tissue homogenate incubations indicated the presence of substrate-derived oestradiol-17beta (E2), 6-oxo-oestradiol-17beta (6-oxo-E2) and 6beta-hydroxyoestradiol-17beta (6beta-OH-E2). Whereas all three oestrogens were identified as metabolites from testosterone in incubations performed using allantochorionic tissue homogenates and post-mitochondrial suspensions (PMS), only E2 was identified from incubations performed using microsomal fractions prepared from this tissue. We conclude that both the microsomal and cytosol fractions are required for the conversion of E2 to the 6-oxygenated species in vitro. Using stable isotope-labelled substrates and GC-MS analysis the mechanism of formation of these metabolites from these in vitro incubation studies may be inferred. GC-MS analysis of the neutral extracts from allantochorionic tissue homogenate incubations confirmed the presence of small quantities of substrate-derived 5(10)-oestrenediols. No substrate-derived 5(10)-oestrene-3,17-diols were detected in extracts from microsomal preparations incubated in the absence of cytosol. These data suggest that demethylation of C19 steroids to produce C18 neutral steroids may require the synergistic action of enzymic activities that appear to reside both in the microsomal and cytosolic fractions of equine allantochorionic tissues.

Among kidney tubular epithelial cell types, proximal tubule cells are one of the major renal targets for xenobiotics. Several in vitro culture models have been proposed for use of proximal tubule cells for in vitro pharmacotoxicology studies. This paper reports a comparative study of the response to cephaloridine exposure of two established cell lines from pig (LLC-PK1) and rabbit (LLC-RK1) kidneys and primary cultures of rat and rabbit proximal tubule cells. These cultured cells were first compared for their levels of activity of alpha-methylglucopyranoside transport, alkaline phosphatase, succinate dehydrogenase, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase, their glutathione-dependent activity levels, and their adenylate cyclase response pattern to stimulation by PTH and AVP. The results presented show major phenotypic differences between these four cellular models. The differences observed in glutathione-dependent mechanism activities and regulation may in part be responsible for the variability of the responses of these four cellular models when exposed to cephaloridine.
