The activities of hexokinase, glucokinase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase were determined in loach embryos developed in solutions of insulin, hydrocortisone, estrone and thyroxin at different stages of embryogenesis. Glucokinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activties are shown not to change markedly under the influence of the above-mentioned hormones. During some periods of early development the hexokinase activity is inhibited by insulin, estrone and thyroxin. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is suppressed by each of the used hormones at all the stages of early embryogenesis while the glocose-6-phosphatase activity decreased only under the influence of insulin at the cleavage, blastula and gastrula stages. Insulin increased the activity of phosphofructokinase at the cleavage, blastula and early gastrula stages and hydrocortisone, estrone and thyroxine during certain periods of these stages. From middle gastrula two last hormones decreased the phosphofructokinase activity in the loach embryos.

It is established that in embryos incubated until the early blastula stage in the solution of insulin with addition of cycloheximide or puromycin, there is neither a decrease in the hexokinase and glucose-61 phosphate dehydrogenase activities nor an increase in the phosphofructokinase activity, as it is shown under the influence of insulin only. Puromycin removes an inhibitory effect of insulin on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity, and actinomycin D removes this influence with respect to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities. The addition of antibiotics removes inhibition of the hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities by the hormone in the unfertilized eggs as well. Actinomycin D alone inhibits the hexokinase and activates the phosphofructokinase activities in the embryos and eggs, puromycin decreases their hexokinase activity and cycloheximide has the same effect on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the embryos only.

Age alterations in the activity of several key enzymes of glucose oxidative breakdown (hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase) were studied in extracts from rabbit aorta. The hexokinase activity was measured also in mitochondrial fraction. The activity of all the enzymes studied in rabbit aorta (calculated either per 1 g of the tissue or per 1 mg of proteins) was the highest at the age from 1-2 weeks to 1 month. The minimal activity was observed in adult animals, which were 1-2 years old, In aorta of 3,5-4 years old rabbits an increase (per 1 g of the tissue) in the activity of the enzymes was observed.

A colorimetric method is described for estimation of the adenilate kinase activity in blood serum; the method is based on coupling of adenilate- and creatine kinase reactions and on estimation of the amount of creatine formed. Adenilate kinase activity in blood serum, estimated by the method, was shown to increase 4-fold after removing of tourniquet with subsequent normalization within the next day. The same data were obtained using a spectrophotometric method for estimation of adenilate kinase based on NADP reduction in coupled reactions with hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. An increase in creatine kinase activity in blood serum occurred later on after removing of the tourniquet; it was more distinct (8.5-fold) and maintained longer as compared with the increase in adenilate kinase activity.

An ultramicrochemical technique has been adapted to the evolution of enzyme profiles within individual human mammary tumors. Tandem observation of adjacent stained and lyophilized sections permitted dissection of microgram quantities of freeze-dried material within confirmed regions of malignancy. Enzymes frequently monitored to examine glycolytic, respiratory, and metastatic capacity were microanalyzed successfully: lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), acid phosphatase (AP), aldolase (ALD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), pyruvate kinase (PK), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GOPDH), hexokinase (HK), and phosphofructokinase (PRK). All enzyme activities were higher in infiltrating ductal carcinomas than in fibroadenomas. Extracts of tumor cells mixed in varying proportions with brain or muscle extracts of rat evidenced no modification of expected activity. The technical adaptation described provided a sensitive methodology to resolve problems of relication, profile analysis, sample quantity, and selectivity within heterogeneous tissues.

The adenylate kinase system offers a mechanism for the rapid provision of energy by catalysing the production of ATP from ADP. Fluormetric micromethods were developed for determination of the activity of this enzyme using either formation of ADP or ATP, in each case measured by coupling to suitable dehydrogenase reactions. Both procedures yielded results in good agreement, but when ADP formation was measured an interfering phosphatase splitting of ATP had to be corrected for. Therefore, ADP was preferred as the substrate and its conversion to ATP was determined in a coupled hexokinase-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction yielding stoichiometric amounts of NADPH which were measured by the native fluorescence of this form of the nucleotide. The sensitivity and reproducibility of our micro-method permitted assay of small samples (50-500 ng) such as a layer of cerebellar cortical nerve cells and of insulin producing cells from the islets of Langerhans. Although not reaching the high values in muscle, these cells showed significantly higher activities than parenchymatous cells from the liver and the exocrine pancreas. The sensitivity attained is more than required for assay of clinical fine needle biopsies and is quite satisfactory for detection and estimation of adenylate kinase contaminants in enzyme preparations.

A procedure is described to prepare uniformly labelled D-[14C]ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate enzymically from uniformly labelled D-[14C]glucose through the coupled reactions catalysed by hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44) and 5-phosphoribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.19). All reagents utilized in the method are commercially available. The procedure is a reliable preparative-scale method for synthesizing the dibarium salt of D-[14C]ribulose 1,5-biphosphate with a specific radioactivity up to 7 mCi/mmol and a purity near 90%. The final product was free of other 14C-labelled sugars, sugar phosphate esters, Pi and nucleotides.

The 200 Oe magnetic field of power frequency produces an essential effect on metabolism in the tissue of the testicles which are highly sensitive to this factor. A single effect of the field for 24 h results in an increase in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. 24-28 h after the cessation of the field action it lowers considerably as well as the cytochrome oxidase and hexokinase activities in mitochondria. The lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase activities increased in this case. Restoration of the initial level is marked on the 7th-14th days. Under repeated actions of the stimulation phase the enzymic activities under study (except the lactate dehydrogenase one) are decreased. The mentioned indices restore the initial level on the 14th-28th days. These changes correlates with dynamics of the testosterone level in the testicles and plasm.

The activity of hexokinase (HK), its isoenzymes, glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and the triiodothyronine (T3) effect on this activity in the liver tissue of mice bearing transplantable hepatoma 22a were studied in different periods of the tumor growtn. It was shown that alterations in the activity of the enzymes in the liver of tumor-bearing mice occurred already in the presence of a small tumor. More profound alterations in the activity of all enzymes studied, apart from those in the enzymatic pattern of HK, could be observed starting from day 21after the tumor transplantation. In the initial stages of the hepatoma growth the activity of the test enzymes in the liver was regulated by thyroid hormone. The effect of Ta on the activity of the enzymes in the host liver was gradually lost in the course of the tumor growth.

The activities of the key gluconeogenic, glycolytic, and pentose-shunt enzymes in chicken kidney were determined starting from 8 days before to 58 days after hatching. The activities of pyruvate carboxylase (PC), mitochondrial and cytosolic phosphoenolypruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were low in the embryonic tissue but increased towards the time of hatching. After hatching, the activities of PC, mitochondrial PEPCK, and G6Pase continued to increase, but those of FDPase and cytosolic PEPCK decreased. Relatively little change in these activities was observed in chickens over 24 days old. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased during embryonic growth. After hatching, HK activity continued to increase and then decrease, whereas PFK appeared to decrease and then increase to prehatch levels in 28-day-old birds. LDH activity continued to increase until 8 days after hatching and remained constant thereafter. No definite pattern was discernible in the case of PK. As for the pentose-shunt enzymes, there was no significant change in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PDH), but the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) increased until the chickens were 14 days old and then remained relatively constant.
