Forty eight hours after the immunization with vaccines containing antigenic complexes of typhoid-paratyphoid and dysentery bacteria (0.65--1 mg of the antigens per vaccination dose) some of the persons vaccinated displayed an increase in the leukocyte count chiefly on account of the neutrophil forms and monocytes, a moderate elevation of bilirubin, asaraginamino-transferase and glutamic dehydrogenase in the serum; there was also some reduction of serum cholesterol, the appearance of cylinders and of protein traces in the urine, as well as ECG changes. The noted changes were of short duration and were not recorded in later examinations. The persons vaccinated presented no complains 24 hours, 2, 3, and 9 days after the vaccination and completely retained their working capacity.

Activities of glutamic dehydrogenase (GLDH), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) and ornithine carbamyl transferase (OCT) were determined in tissues of six cattle after slaughter. The liver contained the highest activities of all three enzymes and the kidney cortex also contained high activities of GLDH and SDH. Activities of OCT were negligible in tissues other than liver. GLDH and OCT activities were determined in plasma of two groups of cows fed different levels of protein during the pre-calving period and up to 14 weeks post calving. In both groups activities of both enzymes increased after calving, reaching three to seven times pre-calving levels between seven and 17 weeks post calving and declining thereafter. Activities of both enzymes reached higher levels in the group fed protein to conform to the recommendations of the ARC (1965) than in the group fed 25 per cent below these recommendations. One--conventional--interpretation of this would be that higher intakes of proteins were associated with pathology of liver cells but other interpretations cannot be ruled out entirely.

A histochemical study on Lacerta lepida cerebral cortex glutamic dehydrogenase activity (GLD) was reported in this paper. The GLD activity is revealed in neurons and fibers of cerebral cortex. The regions M1 and M2 were differentiated with regard to enzymatical activity. The M2 neurons are morphologically and histochemically similar to D1 neurons but not to M1 neurons.

Changes in serum enzyme levels, liver histology and liver function tests have been correlated to determine the usefulness of these tests in assessing liver status. The effects of carbon tetrachloride administration on these parameters has been determined in a group of 20 sheep. Normal levels, elevated levels after injury and the effect of elapsed time after injury are reported for serum glutamic dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, fructose-1-phosphate adlolase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol and proteins. Variation in the time of elevation of enzyme activities may be useful in determining the elapsed time between acute injury and serum sampling. In comparison to sheep fed an adequate diet, a diet with a restricted protein intake was associated with increased severity of histological lesions and decreased liver function.

The brains of 35 male Wistar rats weighing 250 g were histologically and histochemically examined after a chronic intoxication due to five-month exposure to carbon disulfide. Morphologically, myelin sheath disruptions within the longitudinal tract systems of the spinal cord, destructions of individual ganglion cells in all brain regions and elective parenchyma necroses in the frontal and parietal cerebral cortices were found. The histochemical assays for enzyme activities of monoamine oxidase, ATPase, glucose 6-phosphatase, acetylcholine esterase and succinic dehydrogenase in the entire central nervous system revealed values identical to those obtained for control animals. Only succinic dehydrogenase and acetylcholine esterase revealed focal reduction in activities within the elective parenchyma necroses. After twenty-week duration of experiments a moderate decrease in activities of arylsulfatases and glutamic dehydrogenase in the entire central nervous system was found. Eventual causes responsible for these changes are discussed.

This study belongs to a series of comparative biochemical and semiquantitative-histological investigations in renal tissue fractions of pyelonephritis patients (human PN) and of different types of experimental pyelonephritis (experimental PN). The experiments aim at more detailed knowledge on the interrelationship of intermediary cell metabolism and histopathological changes during the different phases of human and experimental PN. The results concerning acid and alkaline phosphatase activities as well as concerning glutaminase I and glutamic dehydrogenase activities were earlier reported (Exp. Path. vols. 8, 9, 10 and 12). In the present study the author has analyzed the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (E.C.2.6.1.1. AspAT) the synonym of which is glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT).

Using, in part, comparisons between reconstructed ancestral sequences, homologies are suggested between certain proteins. Genetically related groups seem to be: 1. pancreatic and bacterial nucleases, 2. lysozymes and subtilisins, 3. c type cytochromes, ferredoxins and rubredoxins, 4. b type cytochromes, myoglobins and hemoglobins, catalase, and glutamic dehydrogenase. These homologies suggest that a given ancestral sequence can evolve into quite different tertiary structures.

Results of a histochemical study of glutamic dehydrogenase in experimental portal-systemic encephalopathy with hyperammonemia indicate that the enzyme's activity in brain was increased in all stages of the encephalopathy, and this increase appeared to be localized exclusively in astrocytes. The results are consistent with the view that the astrocyte has a critical role in ammonia metabolism in brain, probably in ammonia detoxification. The findings, moreover, indicate that one pool of glutamate, possibly the small pool, is located in the astrocyte.

Enzyme-histochemical methods were used to study the metabolic activity of specialized ependyma of the ventrolateral walls and floor of the third ventricle in young male and female rats during the "critical period" of sexual differentiation of the hypothalamus (one week after birth). Histochemical tests were conducted for glutamic dehydrogenase, lactic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and NADH2-dehydrogenase. Enzyme activity was judged by cytospectrophotometry. All the data were treated statistically. It was found that the specialized ependyma of the ventrolateral wall and floor of the third ventricle (median eminence) in rats differed in their enzyme behaviour in males and females during the "critical period" of sexual differentiation of the hypothalamus. At the level of the arcuate nucleus (alpha2-tanycytes) and the medial part of the median eminence (beta2-tanycytes) the ependyma was characterized by similar indices of metabolic activity in males and females in the decisive terms of the "critical period" (days 3, 5, and 7). On day 5 metabolic activity of these cells was reduced both in the males and in the females. Prominent sexual differences in the intensity of the enzyme reactions studied were noted in the ependyma of the lateral parts of the median eminence (beta1-tanycytes) in the "critical period". On day 5 metabolic activity of beta1-tanycytes was reduced in males and increased in females. It is suggested that these differences are caused by the receptor nature of beta1 tanycytes and suggest their implication in the mechanisms of sexual differentiation of hypothalamus.

The histochemical study of the consumption of glutamic acid by way of the aspartate aminotransferase and the glutamic dehydrogenase in the cerebellar cortex of several species of animals have demonstrated that in that nerve centre exists some structures in which the mentioned consumption is specially or exclusively realized by means of one way and not for other different one. Is observed, as well, that in the rats, chicken and lizard, the baskets that surround the Purkinje cells are constituted by basket cells axons and by recurrent collaterals of Purkinje axons and that those structures have an intense aspartate aminotransferase activity, but not glutamic dehydrogenase. The aspartate aminotransferase activity was not observed on the other side, in the perikarya of the Purkinje cells of the related animals. However, there exists intense glutamic dehydrogenase activity. On the other hand, in the toad was not observed baskets with aspartate aminotransferase activity but this enzyme was presented on the other side in the perikarya of the Purkinje cells. All these observations have suggested the possibility that this special utilization of the glutamic acid is in some way concerned with the transmission phenomenons of the nerve impulse.
