Kinetic differences between brain capillary and parenchymal hexokinase in the presence of glucose, ATP. fructose, potassium, sodium and different pH were established. Parenchymal hexokinase is more susceptible to glucose inhibition, can tolerate greater variations in the ATP concentration, is inhibited by increasing concentrations of fructose and potassium, and showed greater activity on the lower pH values. The data suggest that in brain parenchyma and endothelial cells of brain microvessels, there are 2 different enzymes with regard to the kinetics properties.

Glucose uptake by whole-cell suspensions of the obligate anaerobe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was two- to fourfold higher under aerobic conditions than during incubation under atmospheres of N(2) or H(2) gas. The O(2)-stimulated uptake activity was lost rapidly (>70% in 5 h) when cell suspensions were incubated aerobically, but this loss was prevented by the addition of crude catalase. Catalase had no apparent effect on cell viability during these incubations. Glucose uptake activity was strongly inhibited by a 10-fold excess of mannose or galactose but not by methyl-alpha-d-glucoside, fructose, or lactose. Both glucose and mannose were rapidly incorporated into polyglucose after uptake. The O(2)-stimulated glucose uptake was not inhibited by cyanide, azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol, or 2-N-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide. However, p-chloromercuribenzoate, menadione, and sodium fluoride inhibited uptake by 88, 67, and 55%, respectively. All attempts to detect phosphoenolpyruvate-phosphotransferase activity for glucose, methyl-alpha-d-glucoside, and 2-deoxyglucose were negative. The bacteria contained hexokinase activity and a complete glycolytic Embden-Meyerhof pathway.

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.

Administration of 60,000 i.e. of vitamin A into rats within three weeks caused an increase in amount of reticulocytes, in the rate of glucose utilization and in formation of lactic acid by erythrocytes. The activity of glycolytic enzymes was intensified. The activity of hexokinase was increased by 84.6%, activities of aldolase and phosphohexoisomerase were increased by 34%. But in the erythrocytes content of AMP, ADP and ATP was unaltered, probably due to activation of total and Na+, K+-dependent ATPase. The harmful effect of an excess of the vitamin A was manifested in an increased content of Na+ in erythrocytes and also in decreased stability of the cells to acid hemolytics.

In vitro incubation of key glycolytic enzymes in supernatant fluids from rabbit kidney medulla with increasing concentrations of sodium laurate resulted in progressive inhibition of hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase. A corresponding reduction in the production of lactate from glucose was also observed. The possible effects of these enzyme inhibitions on the naturesis observed during fasting are discussed.

An extension of a previous model [2] is proposed of the glycolysis of erythrocytes which includes realistic rat laws for the hexokinase-phosphofructokinase system and for the 2,3-P2G phosphatase. Whereas most conclusions previously drawn are reinforced, the mechanism of ATP regulation is different in the present model. The ATP concentration is mainly regulated by the inhibitory action of ATP and the activating effect of AMP on the phosphofructokinase. The role of the 2,3-P2G bypass as a buffer of changes in the ATP demand is of lesser significance than previously thought. Besides the feedback action of the adenine nucleotides on the hexokinase-phosphofructokinase system in the quasisteady state the role of 2,3-P2G as an energy source is important since it can yield ATP for a certain period of time. The present version of the model describes qualitatively the experimental data on the modulation of Na+-K+-ATPase.

The possible presence of hexokinase in basal lateral membranes from rat kidney proximal tubules was investigated. Basal lateral membranes were obtained from homogenates of rat kidney cortex by differential centrifugation and free flow electrophoresis. They were further purified by density gradient centrifugation. Hexokinase activity was measured as the phosphorylation of D-[U14C]glucose. Throughout the purification of the membranes, the specific activity of hexokinase decreased while that of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase increased. Hexokinase activity in all fractions could be quantitatively accounted for in terms of cytosolic and mitochondrial enzyme contributions. It is concluded that there is no hexokinase activity in basal lateral membranes from rat kidney.

The adaptive responses of gastrointestinal enzymes, glucose tolerance, and plasma insulin to diet, folic acid, and insulin of five obese adult-onset diabetic patients were studied before and after a 30-day fast. Their data were compared to the adaptive responses of gastrointestinal enzymes to diet, folic acid, and insulin of 15 normal male volunteer subjects, ages 18 to 24. Each group during each testing period received a carbohydrate diet (50% calories as carbohydrate consisting of 1/2 glucose and 1/2 fructose) and a noncarbohydrate diet (70% of calories as corn oil and 30% as sodium caseinate) each without and with folic acid (5 mg three times per day). The effect of insulin was studied only on the carbohydrate diet plus folic acid. Our data demonstrate that obese adult-onset diabetic patients have an impaired adaptive response of jejunal carbohydrate-metabolizing enzyme activities (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, fructose-1-6-diphosphate aldolase, fructosediphosphatase) to dietary carbohydrate, oral folic acid, and insulin when compared to normal subjects and nondiabetic obese patients. Following a 30-day fast, the obese diabetic patients showed an improvement in glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia, and the adaptive response of the jejunal carbohydrate-metabolizing enzyme activities to dietary carbohydrate, folic acid, and insulin. The greatest improvement in the adaptive response of the jejunal enzyme activities occurred on the carbohydrate diet.

Erythrocytes of patients with chronic kidney insufficiency exhibited high hexokinase activity as well as low activity of acetylcholinesterase and K+, Na+-dependent ATPase. The Km value of acetylcholinesterase for acetyl thiocholine was not altered in the reaction and the enzyme proved to be more resistant to heat denaturation. Therapy with permanent hemodialysis [8-10 hrs per day within some months] normalized K+, Na+-dependent ATPase activity and activated acetylcholinesterase. These effects may be considered as evidence for detoxication and normalization of metabolism. At the same time, high hexokinase activity and increased resistance of acetylcholinesterase to heat inactivation were maintained.

Resting and stimulated fluxes of sodium and potassium across the giant axon of the marine annelid, Myxicola infundibulum, have been characterized using the technique of internal dialysis. In most respects the ion movements were found to be similar to those in squid axons. Sodium efflux and potassium influx were found to be active, cardiac glycoside-sensitive fluxes, with a variable coupling ratio. However, when [ATP]i was lowered to less than 20 microM by treatment with cyanide and continuous dialysis, or to less than 2 microM by dialysis with glucose following injection of hexokinase, Na efflux and K influx were unaltered. The maintained fluxes were not accounted for by an increased passive permeability of the axolemma, although 30-60% of the Na efflux appeared to be due to Na-Na exchange. An altered form of Na pump operation at low [ATP]i is a more likely explanation than an alternate energy source, or an ATP source proximate to the axolemma. The transient response of 22Na efflux to a change in [22Na]i was found to be much slower than in squid, tau = 360 sec. The efflux delay could only be accounted for by an extra-axonal diffusion barrier, which is probably the basement membrane surrounding the ventral nerve cord.
