Quantitative histochemistry (scanning microphotometry) was used to determine the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41), L-glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3) and GABA transaminase (EC 2.6.1.19) in various layers of the hippocampus (middle one third) of young (3-4 months old) and memory-impaired aged rats (28-30 months old). For comparison, determinations of cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) as a marker for mitochondria and energy metabolism were also performed. The study showed that there was a layered reaction pattern in the hippocampus and that the cellular distribution and the levels of enzyme activity were different. However, the activities of the different enzymes (excepting GABA transaminase and cytochrome c oxidase) were significantly correlated in the hippocampus in both age groups. Age-dependent changes were only observed for NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase and GABA transaminase (significant increases of activities in some layers of the hippocampus, preferentially in the terminal field of the perforant path). From the present study it is concluded that, 1. the enzymatic complement of mitochondria in neurons and glia depends upon layer specific metabolic processes of the hippocampus (also with respect to glutamatergic and GABAergic terminal fields) indicating a layer specific interaction of the enzymes studied to produce or catabolize glutamate and GABA, and 2. the age dependent changes of the studied enzymes are very restricted.

The paper is concerned with the effect antibrain antiserum may exert on the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, glutamic dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, and peroxidase. By means of quantitative cytochemistry and electron microscopy it was demonstrated that activity of succinic dehydrogenase activity or cytochrome oxidase increased in the cortex and hypothalamus following the injection of anti-cortex or anti-hypothalamic serum. There were no changes of glutamic dehydrogenase and peroxidase found. Nonspecific alterations of neuronal fine structures were observed in both the cortex and the hypothalamus of rabbits treated with antiserum.

The distribution of nitrate and nitrite reductase, glutamic dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, fumarase, peroxidase and catalase in particular fractions of barley roots, separated by differential and density gradient centrifugation, has been determined. Evidence obtained suggests that there are three separate groups of particles, one, the mitochondria, containing cytochrome oxidase, fumarase and glutamic dehydrogenase, one containing catalase, and one containing nitrate and nitrite reductase. The results show that, under certain conditions, the high osmotic pressures obtained in sucrose density gradients may cause artefacts due to the release of enzymes, especially nitrite reductase, from the particles.
