The activity of carbohydrate metabolism certain enzymes [hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1.), glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11.1), glucoso-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49.)] was studied in the sheep skin when adding vitamin A, sodium sulphate and insulin to the basic ration. The activity of the studied enzymes in the skin was established to be rather high and depend to a considerable extent on feeding, seasonal and hormonal factors. In summer the activity of such enzymes as glucoso-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and glucokinase decreases, and that of hexokinase, vice versa, increases. Vitamin A alone against a background of the basic ration almost has no effect on the activity of the enzymes, with the exception of phosphofructokinase in certain periods of the experiment. More noticeable shifts in the activity of the enzymes were observed in the case when vitamin A and sodium sulphate were added to the ration of sheep, and also with the injection of insulin. In such cases in the sheep skin there occurs first of all an increase in the activity of glucokinase and glucoso-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase.

Vitamin A toxicity, caused by oral administration of 30,000 IU of vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) to young rats (70 to 90 g) once daily for 2 days, increased the levels of lipids, glycogen, and citrate in the liver. Furthermore, hypervitaminosis A decreased the activities of two key hepatic glycolytic enzymes, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase, without affecting those of hexokinase and glucokinase. It is suggested, therefore, that in addition to the increased activities of key gluconeogenic enzymes, reported earlier, a marked decrease in the activities of phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase and elevated level of citrate in the liver could account for the enhanced gluconeogenesis in hypervitaminosis A.

A long-term administration of retinol in a dose exceeding 15-fold the diurnal requirement to rats weighing 170-200 g provoked a diminution of the erythrocytes resistance to an acid hemolytic, an intensified uptake of glucose, and increased activity of glycolytic enzymes (hexokinase, aldolase, phosphohexoisomerase), accumulation of lactate, along with changes in the redox enzymes activity, suppression of the catalase and intensification of peroxidase activity. The content of microergic nucleotides and electrolites (Na+ and K+) remained unchanged.

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine the inheritance, expression, and linkage relationships among eight enzyme genes in the winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus. A fructose-specific hexokinase (FHK), adenylate kinase (ADK), and two forms of aconitase (ACON-A, ACON-C) appeared to have monomeric quaternary structures. A glycylleucine peptidase (PEP), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), and anodally migrating malate dehydrogenase (MDH-A) were apparently dimers. The quaternary structure of glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) could not be determined because of the similarity in relative mobility of the two available electromorphs. The genes for GPI, FHK, and ADK are located on the X chromosome in the following order: Adk - 37.4 - Gpi - 24.6 - Fhk, with Adk - Fhk being 46.5 map units apart. The remaining five genes were autosomally inherited. Of the 10 possible paired combinations of these genes, only the data for two pairs, Idh-Mdh (44.5% recombinants) and Acon-A--Acon-C (46.4% recombinants), suggested statistically significant linkage.

The effect of 1 to 5 doses of 15,000 I.U. of vitamin A on some enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism in gingival tissue from rats was studied. Vitamin A feeding resulted in a significant increase in the activities of hexokinase and pyruvate kinase with the different doses tested. A reduction in the activity of phosphofructokinase was observed with 2 and 4 doses. The administration of ascorbic acid along with vitamin A, did not prevent the effects of vitamin A on the activities of the enzymes studied. The data on the enzyme activities in the groups simultaneously fed on vitamin A and cortisol may indicate an additive effect of these compounds.
