Young rats were exposed to 2, 5, 8 and 10 Gy 50 kV local irradiation. The epiphyseal region of the proximal tibia was examined with histopathologic, histochemical and enzyme histochemical methods 1 to 90 days after irradiation. One day after irradiation, a decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity was noted and increased activity was found for acid phosphatase, NADH2-diaphorase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, especially after 8 and 10 Gy, but also after 5 Gy. Three days after irradiation, all enzymes showed an increased activity and on day 7 the findings resembled those on day 3. Thirty days after irradiation, a return to normal conditions was observed. The most marked morphologic changes were swelling of cells in the hypertrophic cell zone, disturbed order of cells in the zone of proliferation and an increased number of osteoclasts in the metaphyseal bone. These alterations appeared 1 to 3 days after irradiation and normal morphology was seen on day 30 after 2, 5 and 8 Gy and 90 days after irradiation with 10 Gy.

The genetic structure of three Asiatic eskimos subpopulations (402 individuals), five coast chuckchies subpopulations (1793 individuals) and three reindeer chuckchies subpopulations (559 individuals) have been studied for 26 electrophoretic protein systems (33 loci). These are: adenilate-kinase (AK), diaphorase NAD X H (Dia), glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (6GPT), glutamatpyruvate transaminase (GPT), glutamicoxalate transaminase (GOT), carbonic anhydrase-1 (Ca-1), catalase (Ct), acid phosphatase (AcP), lactate dehydrogenase (loci LDH-A and LDH-B), leucine aminopeptidase (Lap), malatedehydrogenase (MDH), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), superoxide dismutase (Sod), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), phosphoglucomutase (loci PGM1 and PGM2), cholinesterase (loci c1--c5), alkaline phosphatase (Pp), esterase D (EsD), red cell esterase (Est) - 4 loci, albumin (Alb), haptoglobin (Hp), hemoglobine (Hb A and B), group-specific component (Gc), transferrin (Tf), ceruloplasmin (Cp). In addition, AB0 and Rh system blood groups and phenyl thiocarbamide taste sensitivity (PTC) have been studied. 12 of 36 loci are polymorphic (33.33%), heterozygosity for all loci in eskimos, coastal and reindeer chuckchies being 0.118 +/- 0.005, 0.130 +/- 0.002 and 0.120 +/- 0.004, respectively. These estimates do not differ essentially from heterozygosity at these loci for mongoloid groups living further south. The test for interpopulation heterogeneity has permitted to estimate contribution of the loci to the differentiation of these populations. The least heterogeneity has been found at loci where gene frequency distribution is the most specific for these ethnic groups.

Despite the wealth of literature concerned with muscle fiber biochemical, ultrastructural and physiological characteristics, little information is available regarding the metabolic enzyme activities of alpha-motoneurons. The present study examines the metabolism of alpha-motoneurons located in the lateral cell column of the rat lumbosacral enlargment with a quantitative histochemical technique. Variation in the activities of alpha-glucan phosphorylase, NADH-diaphorase, succinic dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase were detectable with the photographic densitometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique. No difference in the glycolytic enzyme activity (mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase) was observed. Analysis of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes demonstrated the existence of H type isoenzyme in alpha-motoneurons, consistent with other observations indicating predominance of aerobic metabolism within these neurons. The activities of the former enzymes in alpha-motoneurons formed a complete spectrum of activities, distributed unimodally. Smaller motoneurons exhibited the greatest NADH-D and acid phosphatase activities; phosphorylase activity was greatest in larger motoneurons. Significant variation in the enzyme activity of similar-sized motoneurons suggests that the metabolism of the motoneuron is regulated by factors other than cell size. Relationships between motoneuron metabolic enzyme activity and motor unit type are under current investigation.

The article deals with the results of histochemical study of some redox and proteolytic enzymes (SDH, MDH, NAD-diaphorase, LDH, and acid and alkaline phosphatase) in experiments on animals in various periods after infliction of a craniocerebral injury and on autopsy material, i.e. the brain of patients who had died from severe craniocerebral injury incompatible with life. It is shown that the activity of all enzymes decreases (SDH, MDH, NAD-diaphorase, and alkaline phosphatase) or increases (LDH, acid phosphatase) in various periods after the injury. The results were compared with the findings of morphological examination of the same brain areas performed by means of neurohistological methods.

The activities of NADH2-diaphorase, leucine aminopeptidase, and acid phosphatase were studied histochemically in spermatozoa and seminal plasma of 28 ejaculates from 13 men with proven fertility and in 31 ejaculates from 29 men living in infertile marriages. The enzyme activities were correlated with the spermiogram. The NADH2-diaphorase activity was located exclusively in the midpiece of the spermatozoa, while the activities of leucine aminopeptidase and acid phosphatase seemed to be located only on the surface. A positive correlation was found between the NADH2-diaphorase activity and the spermatozoal motility, density, and morphology.

The quantitative cytochemical investigation of the prodigiozan effect on the enzymatic activity of the peritoneal macrophages was performed on mice. The drug was administered in a single dose of 150 microgram/kg 24 hours before the specimen collection. Prodigiozan promoted a reliable increase in the activity of the enzymes participating in glycolysis (lactate and cytoplasmic alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenases), hexoso-monophosphatic pathway of glucose oxidation (glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), succinate dehydrogenase, NADP. N-diaphorase and lysosomal enzymes, such as acid phosphatase and non-specific alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase. The changes indicate that activation of the macrophages is one of the significant mechanisms of increasing the host nonspecific resistance with prodigiozan.

Examination of macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and lymphocytes of the trachea, PMNL and blood lymphocytes, of the condition of pulmonary tissue in the time course of the process (1st day--l months) revealed an association between the developing cellular and tissue changes. The development of alterations in the lungs with predominant anabolic changes and moderate exudation are characterized by a decrease in the content of nucleoproteins (deoxyribonucleoproteins, ribonucleoproteins), and activity of NAD-diaphorase and alkaline phosphatase, an increase in the activity of acid phosphatase in the above-mentioned cells of the trachea and blood as well as by increased permeability of lysosomal membranes and degeneration of macrophages, PMNL and lymphocytes of the trachea. The above cellular changes in combination with increased permeability of PMNL and blood lymphocyte lysosomal membranes correspond to the development in the lungs of catabolic alterative lesions, marked exudation, and suppurative-necrotic processes. The increase in the content of nucleoproteins and NAD-diaphorase and alkaline phosphatase activity and the decrease in the acid phosphatase activity are accompanied by activation of proliferation in the lungs.

Activity levels of cytochrome oxidase, acid phosphatase, and NADPH diaphorase were examined in the perikarya of immunohistochemically identified Renshaw cells from sections of rat lumbar spinal cord. Renshaw cell profiles were identified on the basis of their characteristic anti-gephyrin-immunofluorescent labelling. Intrasomatic densities of enzyme histochemical reaction product were employed as indicators of relative mitochondrial activity (cytochrome oxidase), intracytoplasmic digestion (acid phosphatase), or putative nitrergic signalling (NAPDH-diaphorase). Approximately half of the Renshaw cell somata examined displayed moderate levels of cytochrome oxidase reaction product (142 of 262 Renshaw cells) or low levels of acid phosphatase activity (156 of 243 Renshaw cells). A majority (160 of 202 cells) of Renshaw cells contained low intrasomatic levels of NADPH-diaphorase activity but most of these cells were closely apposed by at least one NADPH-diaphorase reactive axonal varicosity. Our findings suggest that moderate levels of perikaryal oxidative metabolism and low levels of intracytoplasmic digestion are sufficient for, and support, the unique physiological capabilities of Renshaw cells. The presence of NADPH-diaphorase containing somatic close contacts indicate that nitric oxide may have at least a minor role in the regulation of Renshaw cell activity. These results are complementary and consistent with previous morphological and pharmacological demonstrations of Renshaw cell heterogeneity.

Twelve enzymes from mature pollen grains of maize were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE). The separation in the second dimension was both in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Ten of the investigated enzymes lost activity after separation in the presence of SDS, but those of esterases and acid phosphatase could be recovered. On the other hand, 2-D electrophoresis without SDS is suitable for the analysis of maize pollen pectinesterase, malate dehydrogenase, glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, diaphorase, superoxide dismutase, and phosphoglucose isomerase. 1-D PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF) are sufficient to analyze glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, shikimic dehydrogenase, and glutamate dehydrogenase. The possibility of applying 2-D electrophoresis for the analysis of enzymes from single stigma and stigma exudate is dicussed.

Fifteen isolates of Verticillium dahliae (eight of race 1, seven of race 2; most from the island of Crete, Greece) were examined for isozyme and molecular variation. Among the isozyme banding patterns (zymograms) of six enzymes that were "activity-stained" after electrophoresis in 9% polyacrylamide gels, differences were observed in diaphorase, alpha-esterase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase; 2, 2, 3 and 5 different types of zymograms were recorded, respectively. The zymograms could not be correlated with either race 1 or 2. However, all six isolates originating from the Oropedio (plateau) area of Lasithi (Crete) showed an esterase zymogram clearly distinguishable from the other isolates. No differences were observed when staining for acid phosphatase or aspartate aminotransferase ('glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase'). Furthermore, electrophoresis of random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) in 2% agarose gels showed that three race-2 isolates from Oropedio of Lasithi could also be distinguished by the RAPD pattern generated with primer OPA-1. The variation observed possibly represents adaptation of V. dahliae to the Oropedio environment.
