The circadian rhythms of liver glycogen, plasma glucose, corticosterone and insulin, and hepatic activity of PK, G6PDH, ME, Ac, CoA carbox. PEP-CK and GPT were studied in adult rats. Animals either received a mixed diet ad libitum (8% protein) or a protein meal (1.1 g protein) given at 05:00 or 17:00 h, with free access to a protein-free diet (separately fed). When the protein meal was ingested during the lighted period (17:00) the 24-hour average level of liver PEP-CK was greater than in rats consuming protein during darkness (05:00). In the latter case, modification of the circadian rhythm of liver glycogen and of circadian rhythm of liver PK, G6PDH, ME and Ac.CoA carbox. activity (increase of 24 h average level, extension of period of high activity, sudden increase after ingestion of protein meal) were observed. Conversely, the circadian rhythm of plasma insulin and corticosterone and of liver PEP-CK and GPT activity were only slightly affected by the mode of feeding.

The cerebral metabolic effects of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 min exposure to 1% CO were studied in lightly anesthetized rats by measurement of cerebral cortical contents of selected glycolytic and citric acid cylce intermediates, as well as tissue energy phosphates. The initial change in the glycolytic sequence occurred at 2.5 min with decreases in tissue glucose and glucose-6-phosphate and increases in fructose-1-6-diphosphate which indicated an activation of phosphofructokinase and hexokinase. The "crossover" pattern between glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-1,6-diphosphate was present at 5, 7.5 and 10 min, but not at 20, 30 and 60 min and thus confirmed previous observations that detection of phosphofructokinase activation in acute unifactorial cerebral hypoxia requires tissue study during the early phases of the experimental exposure. The initial activation of phosphofructokinase occurred in the absence of detectable changes in the tissue content of ATP, ADP, AMP or phosphocreatine and therefore suggested that an imbalance of tissue energy homeostasis is not a prerequisite for the activation of glycolysis in CO intoxication. One percent CO resulted in an increasing malate/oxaloacetate ratio at 5 min, followed by a decrease in alpha-ketoglutarate and aspartate at 7.5 min which suggested a shift in the aspartate aminotransferase reaction towards the replenishment of oxaloacetate removed via the malate dehydrogenase reaction. Subsequent increases in alpha-ketoglutarate at 10, 20, 30 and 60 min were associated with increases in alanine, indicating a contributing role for a secondary shift of the alanine aminotransferase reaction in the replenishment of alpha-ketoglutarate. A comparison of the CO induced changes in the glycolytic and citric acid cycle pathways with those seen in acute hypoxemia indicates no basic qualitative differences in the metabolic responses of brain tissue to the two conditions.

In an earlier report from this laboratory, one of the early manifestations of hypervitaminosis A was shown to be a marked stimulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis. In the present study, effects of feeding 30,000 IU of retinyl palmitate to young rats (80-100 g), once daily, for 2 days on the incorporation of 14C-labeled precursors into glucose and glycogen by liver slices, levels of amino acids in blood and tissues, and activities of some important amino acid catabolizing enzymes in the liver were investigated. A stimulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis in hypervitaminosis A was indicated by the increased incorporation of 14C-labeled alanine and bicarbonate into glucose and glycogen by liver slices. Excessive intake of retinol caused a marked increase in the activities of hepatic alanine aminotransferase and ornithine aminotransferase and a decrease in that of tryptophan pyrrolase, without affecting those of tyrosine aminotransferase and serine dehydratase. The ratio of NADH:NAD in the livers of rats fed excess retinol was significantly increased. It is suggested that enhancement of glucoeogenesis in hypervitaminosis A is caused by a stimulation of gluconeogenic activity of the liver.

NADP-linked dehydrogenases, glucose-6-P dehydrogenase (G 6PDH) 6-P gluconate dehydrogenase (6 PGDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), malate dehydrogenase decarboxylating (ME) and aminotransferases GOT and GPT were analyzed in the soluble fraction of blood free homogenates. Glutmate dehydrogenase (GDH) was assayed in the mitochondrial fraction. TAM was i.p. administered to male albino rats (50 mg/kg/day) for 28 days. enzyme activities were determined as described by Bermeyer 1965 (Methods Enzymatic Analysis. Verlag Chemie. Acad. Press).

Studies on subactute toxicity and its recovery of pepleomycin sulfate (NK631) were carried out in both sexes of rats. NK 631 was administered intraperitoneally in dose levels of 0.3, 0.9, 2.7. 8.1 and 24.3 mg/kg/day for 30 days. After finishing administration of NK 631 for 30 days, 5 animals of each group were proceeded to recovery test for 35 days. During the course of the experiment, the body weight gains were suppressed in all dose levels except in 0.3 mg/kg group of male rats. The deaths were found in the animals treated with doses over 24.3 mg/kg during treatment period and in those over 2.7 mg/kg during recovery period. In biochemical and urinary analysis, the increases of serum GPT, BUN, Mg, Ca and urine glucose were moderately recognized in 8.1 mg/kg group. Additionally, in macroscopical and histopathological findings, bone damage was found in the animals treated with doses over 2.7 mg/kg during treatment and recovery periods. From these results, the maximum safety dose of NK 631 in subacute toxicity using rats were estimated to be about 0.3 mg/kg.

A study of the various biological parameters of the blood in the genetically obese Zucker rat, the nonobese Zucker rat, and the Wistar rat has revealed great similarity between the two latter types of animals. On the other hand, in genetically obese Zucker rats as compared with the nonobese ones, (1) the blood mass per unit of weight was lower; (2) the level of nitrogenous degradation compounds was the same; (3) the lipase activity was lower; (4) the levels of substances for which liver plays a crucial role--all lipid and protein fractions, glucose, and the enzyme GPT--were higher; (5) the levels of Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu and Pi were high; (6) the blood and bone-marrow cells were unremarkable.

The following blood indices were determined in the blood of 34 pregnant sows of the Large White breed under standard feeding conditions: haemoglobin, haematocrit, leucocytes, and--in the blood serum, --total protein, glucose, urea, bilirubin, cholesterol, enzyme activity (AP, GOT, GPT, GGTP) and mineral concentrations (Ca, P--inorg., Mg, Na, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn). The blood was sampled in the first and third pregnancy at an average live weight of 165.12 and 197.36 kg, at an average age of 318 and 630 days and at an about the same average length of pregnancy in the time of both samplings (59 days). In younger, still growing gilts (first pregnancy) a significantly (P less than 0.05) lower content of total protein, magnesium, iron and copper was revealed, as compared with adult sows. The content of glucose, calcium, potassium and manganese in the blood serum of the gilts was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than in sows in their third pregnancy. The adult sows showed a significantly (P less than 0.05) lowered activity of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, as distinct from gilts.

Phytohemagglutinins from sees of Myrtus communis L., either in solution or adsorbed by glutaraldehyde-treated erythrocytes, constitute an effective system for clarification of lipemic sera. It can be used in clinical analysis to avoid the interference produced by turbidity in spectrophotometric determinations. Parameters such as glucose, bilirubin, urea, uric acid, GPT, GOT, and LDH, amongst others, can be determined without interference. The content in triglycerides of 1 ml of serum can be decreased by more than seventy per cent by treatment with 50 mg of lyophilized glutaraldehyde-treated erythrocytes saturated with Myrtus communis L. phytohemagglutinins.

Trials were carried out with two groups of birds, White Plymouth times Cornish crosses. A third, control group of birds was also involved in the experiments, reared by the same technology. The only difference consisted in that the air in the premise of the test birds had a lower microbial content which, during the experiments was 2 to 5 times lower than that in the air of the controls. It was found that under the effect of the higher microbial content the blood serum protein drops like the protein content of the liver and heart musculature, the content of free amino acids rises, the amount of triptophane lowers, and the activity of GOT and GPT is enhanced. The birds of the control group show higher enzyme activity so far as the glucose-6-phosphatase of the liver is concerned, lower glycogen content of the liver, and lower blood concentration of glucose. By the end of the trials the broilers of the control group were 50 gr less heavy than the lest birds.
