Glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) concentrations, some enzyme activities in plasma, and activities of enzymes related to energy metabolism in peripheral leukocytes were measured in fattening Japanese Black Wagyu x Holstein steers fed on different diets at 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 months of age. The plasma IRI concentrations at 20 and 24 months of age were significantly higher than those at 8 months of age. Activities of hexokinase (HK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in cytosolic fractions, and glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), MDH and AST in mitochondrial fractions in peripheral leukocytes of steers at 24 months of age were significantly higher than those at 8 months. Increasing plasma insulin concentration was considered to induce acceleration of glucose utilization in leukocytes of fattening steers. The cytosolic ratio of MDH/lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in leukocytes increased significantly in the fattening process and was considered to be a useful indicator for evaluating changes in energy metabolism in steers.

A peculiar phenomenon, differing from the response of mammalian cells, occurred when Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE) cells were passaged in the medium lacking of both glucose and glutamine. To elucidate metabolic mechanism of CHSE cells, the metabolism parameters, key metabolic enzymes, and ATP levels were measured at different glucose and glutamine concentrations. In the glutamine-free culture, hexokinase activity kept constant, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity decreased. This indicated that lack of glutamine did not expedite glucose consumption but made it shift to lower lactate production and more efficient energy metabolism. The results coincided with the experimental results of unaltered specific glucose consumption rate and decreased yield coefficients of lactate to glucose. In the glucose-free culture, simultaneous increase of glutaminase activity and of specific ammonia production rate suggested an increased flux into the glutaminolysis pathway, and increases of both glutamate dehydrogenase activity and yield coefficient of ammonia to glutamine showed an increased flux into deamination pathway. However, when glucose and glutamine were both lacking, the specific consumption rates of most of amino acids increased markedly, together with decrease of LDH activity, indicating that pyruvate derived from amino acids, away from lactate production, remedied energy deficiency. When both glucose and glutamine were absent, intracellular ATP contents and the energy charge remained virtually unaltered.

Several drug-resistant mammalian cell types exhibit increased glycolytic rates, preferential synthesis of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, and altered glucose transport. Herein we analyzed the influence of parasite growth phase on energy substrate uptake and use in a Leishmania strain [NR(Gr)] selected for resistance against glibenclamide. Glibenclamide is an ABC-transporter blocker which modulates the function of glucose transporters in some mammalian cells. Our results demonstrate for the first time that compared to glibenclamide-sensitive Leishmania, exponential phase glibenclamide-resistant parasites exhibit decreased use of glucose as energy substrate, decreased glucose uptake and decreased glucose transporter expression. However, compared to glibenclamide-sensitive cells, stationary phase resistant parasites display an increased use of amino acids as energy substrate and an increased activity of the enzymes hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and especially NAD(+)-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. These results suggest that drug resistance in Leishmania involves a metabolic adaptation that promotes a stage dependent modulation of energy substrate uptake and use as a physiological response to the challenge imposed by drug pressure.

We determined the effect of dietary starch on growth performance and feed utilization in European sea bass juveniles. Data on the dietary regulation of key hepatic enzymes of the glycolytic, gluconeogenic, lipogenic and amino acid metabolic pathways (hexokinase, HK; glucokinase, GK; pyruvate kinase, PK; fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase; glucose-6-phosphatase, G6Pase; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, G6PD; alanine aminotransferase, ALAT; aspartate aminotransferase, ASAT and glutamate dehydrogenase, GDH) were also measured. Five isonitrogenous (48% crude protein) and isolipidic (14% crude lipids) diets were formulated to contain 10% normal starch (diet NS10), 10% waxy starch (diet WS10), 20% normal starch (diet NS20), 20% waxy starch (diet WS20) or no starch (control diet). Another diet was formulated with no carbohydrate, and contained 68% crude protein and 14% crude lipids (diet HP). Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of 30 fish (initial weight: 23.3 g) on an equivalent feeding scheme for 12 weeks. The best growth performance and feed efficiency were achieved with fish fed the HP diet. Neither the level nor the nature of starch had measurable effects on growth performance of sea bass juveniles. Digestibility of starch was higher with waxy starch and decreased with increasing levels of starch in the diet. Whole-body composition and plasma metabolites, mainly glycemia, were not affected by the level and nature of the dietary starch. Data on enzyme activities suggest that dietary carbohydrates significantly improve protein utilization associated with increased glycolytic enzyme activities (GK and PK), as well as decreased gluconeogenic (FBPase) and amino acid catabolic (GDH) enzyme activities. The nature of dietary carbohydrates tested had little influence on performance criteria.

The toxic effect of ammonia on rCHO-GS cell decreased obviously due to the transfection of GS system in serum-free culture. The maximum cell density, 15.6 x 10(5) cells/mL was obtained in the culture with 1.42 mmol/L ammonia. The growth of rCHO-GS cell was inhibited with an increased ammonia concentration. However, a cell density of 8.9 x 10(5) cells/mL was obtained when the concentration of ammonia was 12.65mmol/L. The intracellar metabolic pathways were affected due to the decrease of the toxic effect of ammonia on rCHO-GS cell. With the increase of initial ammonia concentration from 0.36mmol/L to 12.65mmol/L, the yield coefficients of cell to glucose and lactate to glucose decreased. The activities of hexokinase (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased by 43%, 140% and 25%, respectively, indicating that the utilization of glucose increased and the glycolysis pathway was more prone to efficient energy metabolism pathway. An increased activity of glutamate-pyruvate aminotransferase (GPT) showed that the conversation from glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate was shifted to glutamate-pyruvate transamination pathway. The deamination pathway was inhibited due to a decreased activity of glutamate dehydrogenase. In addition, the number of cells in G0/G1 phase increased and the specific production rate of recombinant protein increased by 2.1-fold with the increase of initial ammonia concentration from 0.36mmol/L to 12.65mmol/L.

Chlorella strain (UTEX 27) maintains optimal photosynthetic capacity when growing photoautotrophically in the presence of ammonium. Nitrate-grown photoautotrophic cells, however, show a drastic loss of chlorophyll content and ribulose-1,6-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity, resulting in a greater than 10-fold decrease in photosynthetic capacity and growth rate. Nitrate-grown cells are not deficient in protein content, and under mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions, the alga can utilize nitrate as well as it does ammonium. The alga metabolizes both glucose and acetate in the dark with a doubling time of 5 to 6 hours. However, its growth on acetate is inhibited by light. Ribulose-1,6-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity correlates well with photosynthetic capacity, and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase activities are altered in a manner consistent with the availability of glucose in growing cells. The alga appears to assimilate ammonium under photoautotrophic conditions primarily via the glutamine synthetase pathway, and shows an induction of both NADH and NADPH dependent glutamate dehydrogenase pathways under mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions. Multiple isoforms are present only for hexokinase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Etiolated nitrate-grown cells resume greening and increase their photosynthetic capacity after about 6 hours of incubation in the presence of ammonium under photoautotrophic conditions. Similarly, the loss of photosynthetic capacity in ammonium-grown photoautotrophic cells commence about 9 hours after their transfer to heterotrophic nitrate containing media.

We assessed the daily patterns of parameters involved in energy metabolism in plasma and brain of rainbow trout. Where daily rhythms were found, we analyzed the potential influence of feeding. Immature rainbow trout were randomly distributed in 3 groups: fish fed for 7 days, fish fasted for 7 days, and fish fasted for 7 days and refed for 4 days. On sampling day, fish of fed and refed groups were fed at 11.00 h, and all fish were sampled from each treatment group using the following time schedule: 14.00, 18.00, 21.00, 00.00, 04.00, 07.00, 10.00 and 14.00 h. The results obtained from metabolic parameters assessed in plasma and brain can be grouped into three different categories, such as (i) those displaying no 24 h changes in fed fish such as plasma lactate, protein or acetoacetate levels, as well as brain amino acid and protein levels, and lowKm(glucose) hexokinase, and aspartate aminotransferase activities, (ii) those displaying 24 h changes that were apparently dependent on feeding since they disappeared in fasted fish such as the case of plasma cortisol, glucose and triglyceride levels, as well as brain glycogen, glucose, and lactate levels, and pyruvate kinase and hexokinase IV activities, and (iii) those parameters displaying 24 h changes apparently not dependent on feeding such as plasma amino acids, brain acetoacetate levels as well as several enzyme activities measured in brain such as glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase-oxidase. In general, 24 h changes dependent on feeding indicate an increased use of glucose in brain several hours post-feeding whereas those changes not dependent on feeding were characterized by reduced levels/activity at the night period suggesting a metabolic depression in brain during darkness.

We assessed the daily patterns of parameters involved in energy metabolism in liver, white muscle, and gills of rainbow trout. Where daily rhythms were found, we analyzed the potential influence of feeding. Immature rainbow trout were randomly distributed in 3 groups: fish fed for 7 days, fish fasted for 7 days, and fish fasted for 7 days and refed for 4 days. On sampling day, fish of fed and refed groups were fed at 11.00 h, and all fish were sampled from each treatment group using the following time schedule: 14.00, 18.00, 21.00, 00.00, 04.00, 07.00, 10.00 and 14.00 h. The results obtained from metabolic parameters can be grouped into four different categories, such as i) those displaying no daily changes in any group assessed in liver (acetoacetate and lactate levels), white muscle (protein levels, and low Km (glucose) hexokinase (HK) and HK-IV activities) and gills (protein levels), ii) those displaying no 24 h changes in fed fish but in refed or fasted fish in liver (glucose, glycogen, amino acid and protein levels, and HK-IV activity), white muscle (glycogen and amino acid levels) and gills (glucose levels), iii) those displaying 24 h changes that were apparently dependent on feeding since they disappear in fasted fish in liver (Low Km (glucose) HK, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-O), glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase), fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) , alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (Asp-AT) activities), white muscle (glucose levels, and pyruvate kinase (PK), LDH-O, G3PDH and Asp-AT activities) and gills (glycogen and lactate levels, and Low Km (glucose) HK, HK-IV, LDH-O and Asp-AT activities), and iv) those parameters displaying 24 h changes apparently not dependent on feeding in liver (lactate levels and PK activity) and gills (amino acid levels, and PK and GDH activities). In general, most 24 h changes observed were dependent on feeding and can be also related to daily changes in activity.

We evaluated the effect of dietary starch level on growth performance, feed utilization, whole-body composition and activity of selected key enzymes of intermediary metabolism in gilthead sea bream juveniles reared at 18 and 25 degrees C. A diet was formulated to contain 48% crude protein, 12% lipids and 30% gelatinized maize starch (diet 30GS). Two other diets were formulated to include the same level of ingredients as diet 30GS except for the gelatinized starch, which was included at 20% (diet 20GS) or 10% (diet 10GS). No adjustment to diet composition was otherwise made. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of gilthead sea bream (30 g initial mass) for 8 weeks, on a pair-feeding scheme. The higher temperature improved growth performance but the opposite was true for feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio. Independently of temperature, growth performance, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were lower in fish fed diet 30GS. No effect of temperature or dietary starch level on whole-body composition was noticed. Hepatosomatic index and liver glycogen were higher at 18 degrees C and, within each temperature, in fish fed diet 30GS. Glycemia was not affected by temperature, but was lower in fish fed diet 10GS. Data on enzyme activities showed that increasing water temperature enhances liver glucokinase (GK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) activities, suggesting that gilthead sea bream is more apt to use dietary starch at higher temperatures. No effect of temperature was noticed on hexokinase (HK), fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities. Dietary starch enhanced PK and FBPase activities while depressed GDH activity, suggesting a lack of significant regulation of hepatic glucose utilization and production in this species. HK, GK and G6PD activities were unaffected by dietary composition. Irrespectively of water temperature, gelatinized starch may be included up to 20% in diets for gilthead sea bream juveniles; at higher dietary levels, growth and efficiency of feed utilization are depressed.

The potential importance of carbohydrates and amino acids as fuels during periods of fasting and aestivation in the African lungfish, Protopterus dolloi, were examined. No significant decreases in tissue glycogen levels were observed following 60 days of fasting or aestivation, suggesting lungfish may undergo 'glycogen sparing'. Yet glycogenolysis may be important during aestivation based on the differing responses of two flux-generating enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, hexokinase (HK) and pyruvate kinase (PK). PK is required for glycogen breakdown whereas HK is not. HK activity is significantly down-regulated in the heart and gill tissues during aestivation, while PK activity is sustained. The significant negative correlation between the activity of HK and glucose levels in the heart of aestivating lungfish suggests HK may be regulated by glucose concentrations. There was no indication of anaerobic glycolytic flux during aestivation as lactate did not accumulate in any of the tissues examined, and no significant induction of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)activity was observed. The increase in glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (Asp-AT) activities in the liver of aestivating P. dolloi suggests some energy may be obtained via increased aminoacid catabolism, leading to the generation of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates. These findings indicate the importance of both carbohydrate and amino acid fuel stores during aestivation in aphylogenetically ancient, air-breathing fish.
