The activity of a group of respiratory enzymes was studied in normal menopausal as well as benign and malignant tumours. A decrease in the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, diphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase and cytochrome oxidase in malignant tumours especially in spindle cell sarcoma and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma was observed. Benign tumours manifested variable results, thus cellular fibromyoma showed no changes in the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, diphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase and cytochrome oxidase whereas fibromyomal cells exhibited less enzymatic activity. In addition, no marked difference was observed in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the aforementioned tumours as compared with normal menopausal uterine tissues.

Mitochondria from liver whole homogenates of Fischer 344 rats, 3,6, 12 and 24 mo of age were separated by reorienting rate-zonal centrifugation on sucrose gradients. Employing this method, mitochondria can be harvested nearly quantitatively and subjected to a number of biochemical analyses. Separation and recovery of the mitochondria from young and old rats was monitored by assaying each fraction from the gradient for cytochrome oxidase and lipoamide dehydrogenase, two mitochondrial specific enzymes. In addition, several regions of the gradient were studied by transmission electron microscopy. In this study, mitochondrial DNA and protein were quantitated from the livers of the animals at each age group. It was demonstrated that between the ages of 12 and 24 mo these macromolecules decreased significantly. These data would seem to indicate that the number of mitochondria is decreased in this tissue in aged animals.

The authors have studied the enzymhistochemical and ultrastructural pictures of tenocytes of adult human tendons. High succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, TPN-diaphorase, lactate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity were found, as indicated both oxidativ, anaerobic and pentose-phosphate shung activity. Phosphorylase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity was medial, lipase and alcaline phosphatase activity was slight. In tenocytes well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and GOLGI apparatus, large amount of free ribosomes were found.

The use of cinnamyl nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (DS-NBT) in dehydrogenase experiments (lactic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase) and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) in cytochrome oxidase experiments indicated that mitochondrial oxidoreduction reactions from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to cytochrome oxidase are located on the inner mitochondrial membrane in the outer compartment and the intracristate spaces. These reactions behave according to the chemiosmotic hypothesis. The cochlear hair cell mitochondria are cytochemically indistinguishable from free liver mitochondria. The heterogeneous mitochondrial staining pattern is related to the osmolarity of the incubation media, solubility of the enzymes and pH of the medium, but not to the fixation method.

The lipid composition of highly purified Flury strain of rabies virus (HEP) propagated in BHK-21 cells in a chemically defined medium was observed to be 6.7% neutral lipids, 15.8% phospholipids, and 1.5% glycolipids. In the virion, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin were the most abundant phospholipids, accounting for 90% of the total, and the molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was 0.48. Uninfected BHK-21 cell membranes were obtained by nitrogen cavitation techniques and separated by density gradient centrifugation, and the membranes were assayed for purity using 5'-nucleotidase, cytochrome oxidase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase activities. Lipids of the plasma membrane were enriched in cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. In contrast, membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum were enriched in phosphatidylcholine, but contained smaller amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine and sphingomyelin. Comparison of the fatty acyl chains of virus and membranes from uninfected cells revealed the virion to have the lowest ratio of C18:1 to C18:0 (1.771), compared with values of about 3.0 for the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. Total polyenoic fatty acids were enriched in the plasma membrane, whereas the virus contained higher amounts of total saturates than either of the two membrane preparations. Analysis of the polar and neutral lipid fractions as well as the acyl chain analysis suggests the virion has a lipid composition that is intermiediate to that of the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum and is consistent with the view that numerous viral particles are synthesized de novo by not utilizing a preexisting membrane template. From the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid of 0.48, we calculated that 1.92 X 10(5) molecules of lipid would cover 4.14 X 10(4) nm2 in the form of a bilayer. Considerations of the molecular dimensions of the rabies envelope (total surface area, 5 X 10(4) nm2) as a bilayer suggest that some penetration of lipids by envelope proteins (M and G) is necessary.

Reduced activities of lipoamide dehydrogenase (LAD) relative to cytochrome oxidase have been found in 12 or 26 patients with inherited ataxias. One of the 12 patients had adult-onset ataxia plus ragged-red muscle fibers. The other 11 had Friedreich syndrome or early-onset variants of this, as did 6 patients with normal enzyme activity. However, the 11 patients with reduced enzyme activity were clinically more homogeneous than the 6 with normal activity.

The dermal cells in grey, xanthic, and white goldfish integuments were cytochemically characterized for the following enzymatic activities: tyrosinase, DOPA-oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase, peroxidase, non-specific esterase, cholinesterase, NAD-diaphorase, NADP-diaphorase, aryl sulfatase, nucleotide phosphodiesterase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, aldolase, as well as succinate, malate, isocitrate, glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, alpha-glycerophosphate, alcohol, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases. It was found that the epidermis was a significant barrier to the access of cytochemical reaction substrates. Removal of the epidermal barrier provided dermal cell localizations of enzymatic activities which were reproducible. Further, alterations in reaction times and temperatures from the mammalian methodology provided conditions fe various integumental cells were compared for possible interrelationships. The basic foundations for future work with the dermis of poikilothermic vertebrates on an experimental basis were established. In addition, a previously undescribed non-pigmented dermal cell, the "x"-cell, was found to have enzymatic characteristics similar to both melanophores and lipophores. The "x"-cell may be the common precursor of both types of pigment cells.

The ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) of the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) was differentiated into multiple subdivisions (dorsal cap, intergeniculate leaflet, parvicellular segment, and internal and external magnocellular laminae, the latter being further divisible into a lateral and medial division) on the basis of retinal projections, immunochemistry, and histochemistry. Retinal projections traced with intravitreal injections of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase revealed direct bilateral input to all subregions of the vLGN, except for the internal magnocellular lamina (which received only contralateral input) and the parvicellular segment (which was not retinorecipient). Furthermore, retinal inputs clearly distinguished the relatively heavily retinorecipient intergeniculate leaflet from the less prominently labeled dorsal cap. Immunohistochemical localization of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) perikarya revealed their prominence in the intergeniculate leaflet and the external magnocellular laminae with a concentration along the optic tract. NPY immunoreactive fibers were seen in all but the parvicellular subregion. Gamma amino butyric acid immunoreactivity was seen throughout the vLGN, but was most concentrated in the dorsal cap and the magnocellular laminae, followed by the intergeniculate leaflet. Histochemical studies of cytochrome oxidase and nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-diaphorase localization revealed similar patterns of dense reactivity within the external magnocellular lamina, intergeniculate leaflet and dorsal cap, and somewhat less dense, but substantial reactivity in the internal magnocellular lamina. Within the external magnocellular lamina, cells reactive for cytochrome oxidase were noted in the lateral portion bordering the optic tract, whereas those specific for NADPH-diaphorase were dispersed throughout the lamina. Poor reactivity for both histochemical markers was evident in the parvicellular segment. Overall, the markedly different patterns of retinal input and neurochemical organization between the subdivisions of the tree shrew vLGN suggest their involvement in diverse functions. Furthermore, the basic similarity of the organization of the tree shrew vLGN to that of the taxonomically unrelated ground squirrel may indicate a common mammalian scheme.
