Escherichia coli O127:B8 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), prepared by the Westphal procedure, caused a marked decrease in the activities of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and adenylate kinase in African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells and primary cultures of mouse liver cells within 2 h after exposure to 10 micrograms of LPS/ml of culture medium. These three enzyme activities leaked into the supernatant fraction, and cytochrome oxidase activity was lost from the mouse liver mitochondrial particulate fraction within 45 min after exposure to 10 micrograms of LPS/mg of protein. Loss malate dehydrogenase activity from isolated mitochondria was also accelerated by LPS from E. coli O26:B6 (Boivin preparation) or Salmonella typhosa O901 (Westphal preparation), and by lipid A from Salmonella minnesota or Shigella sonnei. In addition, LPS and lipid A inhibited state 3 respiration by isolated mitochondria with attendant loss of respiratory control, but adenosine 5'-diphosphate/O ratios were relatively unchanged. Impaired mitochondrial function is an early event after exposure to biologically relevant amounts of LPS or lipid A.

The ultrastructure of perfused livers and of mitochondrial fractions from 6 months and 30 month-old C57/BL mice were studied. In old mice the liver cell mitochondria were enlarged and rounded with a light "foamy", vacuolated matrix, short cristae and a loss of dense granules. Quantitative studies showed a 60% increase in the mean size and an increased proportion of larger mitochondria in intact 30 month-old perfused livers. Endothelial and Kupffer cell mitochondria were smaller than those of the parenchymal cells. Mitochondria in pellets prepared from 6 and 30 month-old livers were rounded and condensed although there were a few larger and "foamy" mitochondria in the preparations from old mice. Up to 47% of large mitochondria in the old livers were lost during cell fractionation. The levels of cytochrome oxidase and malate dehydrogenase were slightly decreased with age but their cytochemical localization was unchanged.

There was no significant difference between the levels of cytochrome oxidase and malate dehydrogenase in whole liver homogenates or in mitochondria isolated from the livers of 6-month-old and 30-month-old C57/BL mice. Little change with age was found in the cytochemical localisation of either enzyme. There were no significant changes in endogenous, state III or state IV respiration of mitochondria isolated from the livers of young and old mice.

Studies were performed in the activities of certain enzymes from oxidoreductase group: cytochrome c-oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3), succinate dehydrogenase succinates: cytochrome c-oxidoreductase (EC 1.3.99.1), cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) and malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) in mitochondria from neuronal and glial-enriched fractions. The mitochondrial fraction purity was observed by the electron microscope. The enzyme activity of the glial mitochondrial fraction was much higher than that in the neuronal mitochondria. Malate dehydrogenase from glial enriched fraction consists of three isoenzymes, while neuronal mitochondria had two isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase. The neuronal mitochondria were found to be more stable to lubrol and digitonin.

Eschscholtzia californica stigmas with germinating pollen at different stages of development were the subject of histochemical studies which aimed the localization of several enzymes like phosphorylase, leucine amino peptidase, nonspecific esterase, cytochrome oxidase, aldolase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, monoamine oxidase, alpha-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase. Pollen and pollen tubes were shown to contain starch, lipid, proteins and soluble sugars as the storage products. These storage products were utilized during germination and tube growth. The role of different enzymes in the process of germination and tube growth is discussed. From the distribution of oxidoreductases it is inferred that respiration plays an essential role in the tube growth. During pollen germination probably the reserve proteins were transported to pollen tube tip. The increase of activity of alpha-and beta-galactosidase in pollen tubes indicates on their involvement in carbohydrate metabolism. The role of alpha-galactosidase in the metabolism of galactolipids is also inferred. Similarly, the reaction catalysed by beta-glucosidase resulted in the production of aglycon and glucose; of these the former possibly act as a substrate of peroxidase. Some of the glycosidases diffused out of pollen wall on the stigma and participated in the release of free sugars of the female tissue.

An increase in activity of several dehydrogenases of tricarboxylic acid cycle (NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) was observed in rat liver tissue under conditions of acute hemorrhage. The enzymatic activity was slightly higher in the group of animals with relatively prolonged life-time as compared with those, which lived less than 4 hrs. Activity of cytochrome oxidase was inhilited in the both groups of animals (by 27% and 29%, respectively). The less distinct decrease in both temperature in the group of animals with prolonged life-time might maintain the rate of Krebs cycle substrates oxidation. Activation of respiration in liver tissue under conditions of the hemorrhage is considered as a compensatory reaction tending to improve oxygen utilization in hypoxia. At the same time, inhibition oy cytochrome oxidase demonstrates the impairment of electron transport and decreased rate of energy production in liver mitochondria.

The changes induced by phenobarbital in cerebral enzymatic activities of the Krebs' cycle (citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase) and electron transfer chain (total NADH-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome oxidase) were studied. In addition, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase of acetylcholine esterase and of glutamate dehydrogenase was also studied. These enzymatic activities were evaluated in the homogenate in toto and in a crude mitochondrial fraction from rat brain. The modifications in some of these activities indicate that several new metabolic situations occur in brain tissue after phenobarbital treatment.

Phenotypes of eight red cell enzymes at nine genetic loci were determined in the semi-free-ranging population of rhesus macaques; Macaca mulatta, that inhabit Cayo Santiago. The following enzymes were examined electrophoretically: adenosine deaminase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, indophenol oxidase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase-1, phosphoglumutase-2, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase. Hemolysates from at least 372 animals were analyzed, and no variants of the enzymes were observed with the exception of malate dehydrogenase. Three animals displaying a variant form of malate dehydrogenase were found.

Ultrastructural morphometric and biochemical studies were conducted on hepatic mitochondria from control rats and rats treated in vivo with arsenate to examine changes in interrelationships between mitochondrial structure and biochemical functions. Morphometric analysis disclosed an over-all 1.2-fold increase in the relative mitochondrial volume density and 1.4-fold increase in the surface density of the inner mitochondrial membrane of arsenate-exposed rats. These structural changes were associated with a 1.5-fold increase in 14C-leucine incorporation into all mitochondrial proteins, which was primarily associated with the acid-insoluble membranous fraction. Mitochondria from arsenate-treated rats showed a marked disruption of normal conformational behavior with depression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-linked substrate oxidation and a resulting in vivo increase in the mitochondrial [NAD] to [NADH] ratio. Observed changes in mitochondrial membranes from arsenate exposure also resulted in 1.5- to 2-fold increases in the specific activities of the membrane marker enzymes monoamine oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, and Mg2+-ATPase. Activity of malate dehydrogenase, which is localized in the mitochondrial matrix, was unchanged. The results of this study demonstrate a positive quantitative in vivo correlation between mitochondrial structure and function and indicate a marked dependency upon membrane integrity for normal maintenance of the specific biologic activities performed by this organelle in vivo.

A test model of studying the effects of chronic pharmacological treatment on cerebral metabolism related to energy transduction was developed. The most useful biochemical parameters were the cerebral enzymatic activities related to the glycolytic pathway (lactate dehydrogenase), the Krebs' cycle (citrate synthetase and malate dehydrogenase) and the electron transfer chain (total NADH-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome oxidase). The model is based on the natural growth-dependent changes occurring in the rat during aging (from 10 to 60 weeks of life). As test drug, 10-methoxy-1,6-dimethyl-ergoline-8 beta-methanol-(5-bromonicotinate) (nicergoline, Sermion) was administered daily for three periods of 16 weeks each (10-26, or 28-44, or 44-60 weeks of life) by two different administration routes (oral and i.p.), and at two different dose levels: oral 1 or 4, i.p. 0.25 or 1 mg/kg. Biochemical data were obtained blindly after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of treatment. The drug tested exerted different effects which were dependent on the various administration periods and the administration routes. No dose-effect relationship was established.
