1. The activities of phosphofructokinase (PFK), citrate synthetase (CS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACDH) and cytochrome-c oxidase(Cyt-ox) in the calf muscle tissue were compared in subjects with intermittent claudication (n = 38) and controls (n = 20). The activities of CS, ACDH and Cyt-ox were increased and the activity of Cytox was positively correlated to the maximal walking distance (MWD) in the patients. 2. Thirty-three patients with intermittent claudication were randomized to three treatment groups: (1) operative surgery, (2) operative surgery supplemented with physical training and (3) physical training alone. Before and after 6-12 months of treatment, symptom-free walking distance (SFWD), MWD, ankle-brachial blood pressure quotient (ankle index), maximal plethysmographic calf blood flow (MPBF) and the activities of PFK, CS, LDH, ACDH and Cyt-ox were measured. 3. SFWD and MWD increased in all three groups. Ankle index and MPBF increased in groups 1 and 2, but were unchanged in group 3. The activities of Cyt-ox and CS decreased with operation, but the activity of Cyt-ox was further augmented with training in group 3. Overall, the change in ankle index explained 80-90% of the variability in walking performance. In a separate analysis, the increased activity of Cyt-ox in group 3 was positively correlated to, and explained 31% of the variability in, the improvement in SFWD. 4. These findings indicate that both physical activity and a reduced calf blood flow are necessary conditions for the enzymatic adaptation to take place. A causal relationship between metabolic adaptation in the muscle tissue and walking performance is suggested.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of phenobarbital (100 mg/kg i.p.) and 6-aminonicotinamide (6AN) (35 mg/kg i.p.) on enzyme activities related to energy transduction was investigated on the homogenate "in toto", non-synaptic mitochondrial fraction and synaptosomal fraction isolated from different rat brain areas (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, striatum, and medulla oblongata). 6AN treatment decreased: phosphofructokinase in all the areas tested; lactate dehydrogenase on the homogenate "in toto" in striatum and hypothalamus, and on the synaptosomal fraction in cerebral cortex and corpus striatum; succinate dehydrogenase on non-synaptic mitochondrial fraction in hippocampus and striatum. Finally, aspartate aminotransferase was increased on non-synaptic mitochondrial fraction in striatum and medulla oblongata. Phenobarbital treatment induced an increase of total NADH cytochrome c reductase on mitochondrial fraction in hippocampus and hypothalamus, and a decrease of cytochrome oxidase activity on non-synaptic mitochondrial fraction in hypothalamus and medulla oblongata.

We studied energy metabolism after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Four different cerebral areas were tested: frontal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, and brainstem. Vmax of the following enzymatic activities was evaluated: in the homogenate: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and lactate dehydrogenase for the glycolytic pathway, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase for the hexose monophosphate shunt; in the purified nonsynaptic mitochondria: NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and succinate dehydrogenase for the Krebs cycle, and cytochrome oxidase for the electron transfer chain. We also evaluated some parameters related to the respiration of nonsynaptic mitochondria (State 3, State 4, uncoupled state, respiratory control ratio, and ADP:O ratio). Subarachnoid hemorrhage did not significantly affect Vmax of the enzymatic activities related to anaerobic and aerobic metabolism; however, mitochondrial respiration was affected, particularly in the presence of NADH-producing substrates (glutamate + malate).

Muscular glycolytic fuels, intermediates and end-products (glycogen, glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, pyruvate, lactate), Krebs cycle intermediates (citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, malate), related free amino acids (glutamate, alanine), ammonia, energy store (creatine phosphate), energy mediators (ATP, ADP, AMP) and energy charge potential were evaluated. Furthermore the maximum rate (Vmax) of the following muscular enzyme activities was evaluated in the crude extract and/or mitochondrial fraction: for the anaerobic glycolytic pathway: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase; for the tricarboxylic acid cycle: citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase; for the electron transfer chain: total NADH cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxidase. The rat gastrocnemius muscles were analyzed in normoxia and after repeated, alternate hypoxic and normoxic exposures (12 hours of hypoxia daily; for 5 days). Naftidrofuryl was administered daily at three different doses: 10, 15 and 22.5 mg/kg i.m., 30 min before the beginning of the experimental hypoxia. The biochemical adaptation to intermittent normobaric hypoxic-normoxic exposures was characterized by the decrease of the muscular contents of creatine phosphate, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate. This adaptation occurred in absence of significant changes in the Vmax of the muscle enzymes tested. By naftidrofuryl treatment, in gastrocnemius muscle from hypoxic rats both alpha-ketoglutarate and creatine phosphate contents maintained normal values, while glutamate concentration remained reduced to subnormal values. With the exception of hexokinase, naftidrofuryl treatment did not modify the Vmax of marker enzymes related to energy transduction.

Muscular glycolytic fuels, intermediates and end-products (glycogen, glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, pyruvate, lactate), Krebs cycle intermediates (citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, malate), related free amino acids (glutamate, alanine), ammonia, energy store (creatine phosphate), energy mediators (ATP, ADP, AMP) and energy charge potential were evaluated. Furthermore the maximum rate (Vmax) of the following enzyme activities was evaluated in the crude extract and/or mitochondrial fraction: for the anaerobic glycolytic pathway: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase; for the tricarboxylic acid cycle: citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase; for the electron transfer chain: total NADH cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxidase. The rat gastrocnemius muscles were analysed in normoxia and after normobaric intermittent hypoxia (12 hours continuously daily; for 5 days). Cytidine and/or uridine were administered daily at the dose of 120 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min before the beginning of the experimental hypoxia. The intermittent normobaric hypoxia induced a biochemical adaptation characterized by the decrease of the muscular contents of creatine phosphate, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate. This adaptation occurred in the absence of significant changes in the Vmax of the tested muscle enzymes. In gastrocnemius muscle from hypoxic rats, the two biological pyrimidines tested induced various discrete, but often related, modifications of the contents of some Krebs cycle intermediates (i.e., alpha-ketoglutarate, malate) and related free amino acids (i.e., glutamate, alanine). In any case, the treatment with cytidine and/or uridine did not modify the Vmax of marker enzymes related to energy transduction.

Metabolic studies in tumor cells have indicated that bioenergetic regulatory mechanisms geared to acute changes in oxygen availability are abnormal. In the present studies we have examined bioenergetic adaptations to chronic oxygen depletion in culture maintained tumor cells in comparison to normal cell lines. Activities of two key glycolytic enzymes (pyruvate kinase (PyKI) and phosphofructokinase (PFK)) were measured in two tumor cell lines (fibrosarcoma (FS) and Hela) and two normal cell lines (rat lung fibroblasts (RLF) and WI-38) maintained in culture for up to 96 hours under aerobic (PO2 approximately 140) and hypoxic PO2 approximately 15) conditions. Exposure to low O2 tensions for 96 hours resulted in significant increases in PyKi and PFK in both RLF and WI-38, ut did not alter activities of these enzymes in either FS or HeLa cell systems. Activities of two enzymes involved in O2 metabolism (cytochrome oxidase (CyOx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also measured in the two tumor cell lines and in RLF. chronic hypoxia significantly decreased the activities of CyOx and SOD in RLF cell systems but did not alter the activities of these enzymes in the tumor cells. In these studies, the tumor-derived cell lines do not demonstrate specific enzymatic responses to sustained oxygen depletion in vitro noted in normal cell systems, suggesting significant abnormalities in regulatory mechanisms geared to chronic changes in molecular O2.

The metabolic characteristics of 12 skeletal muscles of the sheep were studied. Glycolytic activities (hexokinase, glycogen synthetase I and D, phosphorylase a and b, phosphofructokinase) were measured. Myofibrillar ATPase activity was evaluated. Oxygen consumption, respiratory control and carnitine palmityl transferase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activities were measured in isolated mitochondria. Three metabolic types could be distinguished; (1) essentially oxidative slow twitch muscles, typified by the supraspinatus and infraspinatus, having low ATPase activity, (2) fast twitch red muscles, typified by the longissimus dorsi and the semimembranosus, having a higher ATPase activity and both high oxidative and high glycolytic activity, and (3) essentially glycolytic fast twitch muscles, typified by the tensor fascia lata and the semitendinosus, having the highest ATPase activity.

Endothelial cells function under conditions of different oxygen availability under physiologic conditions and a variety of pathologic states. We determined the effect of normal and low O2 tensions on three key bioenergetic enzymes [pyruvate kinase (ATP:pyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40), phosphofructokinase (ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 27.1.11) and cytochrome aa3] in culture-maintained endothelial cells derived from calf pulmonary artery and aorta. Endothelial cells derived from pulmonary artery and aorta demonstrate similar bioenergetic enzyme activities when exposed to the same PO2 in vitro. Endothelial cells exposed to hypoxia in vitro for 48-96 hr show significantly increase activities of 2 key glycolytic enzymes: pyruvate kinase, and phosphofructokinase. Freshly isolated intimal strips from calf pulmonary artery (normal PO2 = 40 torr) show significantly greater activities of PyKi than aortic intimal strips (normal PO2 = 90 torr), suggesting that a similar pattern occurs in vivo. The data suggest that both cell types have a common bioenergetic pattern which is genetically determined and that this pattern is modified by regulatory mechanisms geared to ambient O2 tension. As endothelial cells of both types are not uncommonly exposed to hypoxic conditions, these regulatory mechanisms may play an important role in maintaining vascular integrity.

The maximal rate of some cerebral enzymatic activities related to energy transduction (hexokinase; phosphofructokinase; lactate dehydrogenase; citrate synthase; malate dehydrogenase; total NADH-cytochrome c reductase; cytochrome oxidase), amino acid metabolism (glutamate decarboxylase; glutamate dehydrogenase) and cholinergic metabolism (acetylcholine esterase) were tested in the cerebral cortex and in sub-cortical area of rats. The evaluations were performed both in the homogenate in toto and in the crude mitochondrial fraction, before and after a postdecapitative normothermic ischemia of 5, 10, 20, and 40 min duration. The results are discussed also with respect to the pharmacological pretreatment with two biological substances which may modulate amino acid (L-alanine) and phospholipid metabolism (CDP-choline). The analysis of the present data suggests the occurrence in brain tissue of a variety of interrelated factors implicated in the ischemia-induced changes of the maximal rate of the enzymatic activities related to the energy transduction. These include: (a) rearrangement of the enzymatic activities because of the changed metabolic and chemico-physical condition; (b) decrease in the activity of enzymes related to the electron transfer chain and glycolysis; (c) changes in enzymes related to mitochondrial membranes. The effects of in vivo administration of alanine or CDP-choline, even if significant, are not consistent throughout the time period studied.

The effect of 11 weekly injections of nandrolone phenylpropionate (400 mg) on some skeletal muscle parameters was investigated in 6 Thoroughbred geldings undergoing training. Three muscles were sampled, the middle gluteal, the biceps femoris and the semitendinosus. Training alone produced increases in the percentage of fast twitch high oxidative fibres (FTH), glycogen content and the activities of citrate synthase, 3-hydroxyacl CoA dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase. In contrast the training programme did not alter water content, total protein content, the activities of lactate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase of beta glucuronidase, fibre area ratios or the number of capillaries per unit fibre area. Nandrolone phenylpropionate given in conjunction with the training programme only resulted in changes in 2 of these parameters. There was no increase in the percentage of FTH fibres in the biceps femoris with anaerobic training and the fibre area ratio increased significantly in this muscle.
