1. Cataract formation in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats was reduced by approximately 85% when a diet rich in maize oil (300 g/kg diet) (fat diet) was given, thus confirming results of earlier studies. However, the concentration of sorbitol in the lens of diabetic animals remained high, the values for diabetic rats given the standard diet and the fat died being 65 and 40 mumol/g protein respectively. 2. With the standard diet, the fatty acid profile of the triglycerides of the epididymal fat pads was characterized by a greater relative proportion of saturated fatty acids for the diabetic animals compared to that for the normal animals. The fat diet moderated the tendency towards saturation in the diabetic animals. 3. The fat diet had other effects on the diabetic animals; these included a reduced mortality rate, increased body-weight, a decrease in the daily water intake, and in the daily urinary excretion of glucose and urea. 4. In the diabetic animals the fat diet had no effect on the specific activities in the liver of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) and pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40). However, the specific activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) was reduced, while that of malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP) (EC 1.1.1.40) was increased. The NAD+:NADH ratio, as calculated from liver pyruvate and lactate concentrations, tended to increase. 5. The results suggested that the fat diet moderated the long-term metabolic effects of diabetes.

Hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in genetically diabetic mice (db/db) and their normal littermates has been studied. In db/db mice, body water was below normal and declined with age. The liver of db/db mice was abnormally large in relation to the metabolic mass of the body at all ages studied. In db/db mice, hepatic glycogenolysis, glycogen synthesis, glycogen synthetase, and phosphorylase were markedly increased. Gluconeogenesis from alanine or lactate in perfused livers of db/db mice was greater than normal per 100 g body water. Activities of fructose-1, 6-biophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucokinase + hexokinase, and pyruvate kinase were elevated in livers of db/db mice. Diabetic mouse livers perfused with lactate showed a markedly reduced concentration of P-enolpyruvate and clear "forward crossover" between fructose-1, 6-P2 and fructose-6-P. In vivo glucose clearance, measured with [3-3H]glucose, in db/db mice was 170% that of normal mice. Data presented indicate that in livers of db/db mice: 1) glucose production is elevated prior to hyperglycemia, 2) glycogen turns over more rapidly, and 3) glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes are elevated paradoxically. These abnormalities are discussed from the viewpoint of their etiology.

During carcinogenesis, induced by diethylnitrosamine in rats Wistar (in doses of 2.5 mg per Kg of weight daily with drinking water), the hexokinase (HK) activity in blood serum was observed with the appearance of the first morphological symptoms of tumor growth. It is observed mainly starting from the first months. At the end of the experimental period (8-9th month), when hepatomas develop in the liver, the HK activity in blood serum was noted almost in all cases. No serum HK activity was found in control rats.

Reaction of AMP with formaldehyde and 3-mercaptopropionic acid at pH 11.7 gave a new AMP derivative, N6-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-AMP (I) in 91% yield and reaction at pH 3.1 gave another new derivative, N6,N6-bis[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-AMP (II) in 57% yield. The structures were determined by their 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra coupled with those of the simple analogues, N6-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-9-methyladenine (III) and N6,N6-bis[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-9-methyladenine (IV) which were synthesized from 9-methyladenine in the same way as for derivatives I and II. ADP and ATP were treated in the same way as AMP to afford the corresponding carboxyl derivatives, N6-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-ADP (V), N6-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-ATP (VI), N6,N6-bis[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-ADP (X) and N6,N6-bis[(2-carboxyethyl)thiomethyl]-ATP (XI) in 71%, 75%, 53% and 40% yield, respectively. These compounds were coupled to 1,3-diaminopropane with a water-soluble carbodiimide to give the corresponding amino derivatives, N6-([N-3-aminopropyl)carbamoylethyl]thiomethyl)-ADP (VIII), N6-(N-(3-aminopropyl)carbamoylethyl]thiomethyl)-ATP (IX), N6,N6-bis([N-(3-aminopropyl)carbamoylethyl]thiomethyl)-ADP (XIII), and N6,N6-bis([N-(3-aminopropyl)carbamoylethyl]thiomethyl)-ATP (XIV), which were further bound to CNBr-activated dextran to give new polymer-bound derivatives of ADP and ATP. These free and bo-nd derivatives were tested for their coenzymic activities against several kinases. The activities of the ADP derivatives, V, VIII, X, XIII, dextran-bound VIII, and dextran-bound XIII against acetate kinase were 82%, 81%, 68%, 55%, 35%, and 15%, respectively, relative to ADP and those of the ATP derivatives, VI, IX, XI, XIV, dextran-bound IX, and dextran-bound XIV against hexokinase were 88%, 94%, 60%, 81%, 58%, and 49%, respectively, relative to ATP.

The interaction of CrADP, an exchange-inert paramagnetic analogue of Mg-ADP, with yeast hexokinase has been studied by measuring the effects of CrADP on the longitudinal nuclear relaxation rate (1/T1) of the protons of water and the protons and phosphorus atom of enzyme-bound glucose-6-P. The paramagnetic effect of CrADP on 1/T1 of water protons is enhanced upon complexation with the enzyme. Titrations measuring this paramagnetic effect at several enzyme concentrations in the presence of glucose-6-P yielded a characteristic enhancement factor for 1/T1 of water protons and the dissociation constant of CrADP from the ternary enzyme . ADPCr . glucose-6-P complex. The latter value (2 mM) is similar to that obtained from kinetic inhibition studies (Danenberg and Cleland [1975]. Biochemistry. 14:28). The presence of glucose-6-P increased the enhancement of the water relaxation rate by enzyme-bound CrADP, suggesting the formation of an enzyme . CrADP . glucose-6-P complex. The existence of such a complex was confirmed by the observation of a paramagnetic effect of enzyme-bound CrADP on the l/T1 of the 31P-nucleus and protons of enzyme-bound glucose-6-P. From the paramagnetic effects of enzyme-bound CrADP on the relaxation rates of the 31P-nucleus and the carbon-bound protons of glucose-6-P in the enzyme . ADPCr . glucose-6-P complex, using the correlation time of approximately 0.7 ns, determined from the magnetic field-dependence of 1/T1 of water protons over the range 24.3-360 MHz, a Cr3+ to phosphorus distance of 6.6 +/- 0.7 A and Cr3+ to alpha- and beta-anomeric proton distances of 8.9 and 9.7 A were calculated. These results imply the absence of a direct coordination of the phosphoryl group of glucose-6-P by the nucleotide-bound metal on hexokinase but indicate van der Waals contact between a phosphoryl oxygen of glucose-6-P and the hydration sphere of the nucleotide-bound metal. The distances are consistent with a model that assumes molecular contact between the phosphorus of glucose-6-P and a beta-phosphoryl oxygen of ADP suggesting an associative phosphoryl transfer. Because after phosphorylation of ADP, the metal ion is coordinated to the transferred phosphoryl group, the overall migration of the phosphoryl group during the phosphoryl transfer is approximately 3.6 A toward the nucleotide-bound metal. Little or no catalysis of phosphoryl transfer from glucose-6-P to alpha, beta-bidentate or beta-monodentate CrADP ( less than or equal to 0.05% of the rate found with MgADP) occurred in the presence of hexokinase, as monitored by glucose formation in a coupled assay system using glucose oxidase and peroxidase. The ability of beta, gamma-bidentate CrATP to act as a substrate (Danenberg and Cleland [1975].

The preparation of 2-deoxy-2-amino-N-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalene sulfonyl)-glucose (III) designed as a fluorescent competitive inhibitor of hexokinase was achieved after reacting 2-deoxy-2-aminoglucose and 1-dimethylamino-5-naphthalene sulfonyl chloride. (III) showed fluorescence excitation and emission maxima in water at 330 and 507 nm, respectively. (III) was found to competitively inhibit hexokinase and a value of Ki = 3.0 x 10(-3)M was obtained for the system hexokinase B + Mg.ATP + glucose at pH 8.4.

A method is described for the measurement of enzyme activity under xeric conditions. The reaction mixtures had water contents ranging between 0.1 and 0.6g/g of reaction mixture. For glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase and fumarase, enzyme activity became detectable (about 0.05% of the fully hydrated rate) when the water content was about 0.2g/g of reaction mixture, and for phosphoglucose isomerase, around 0.15g/g of reaction mixture. With the water content raised to 0.3g/g of reaction mixture the reaction rates were only increased to 0.1-3% of the fully hydrated rate. When the combined rates for phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were measured, reasonable agreement was found between the experimental data and those calculated from the individual experimentally determined rates on the assumption that diffusion was not further limiting. A method was devised for measuring the diffusion coefficients of low-molecular-weight substances in solutions having low water contents. The diffusion coefficients of riboflavin in sorbitol solution decreased by about 100-fold when the water content of the latter was reduced from 3 to 0.25g/g of sorbitol. It is concluded that to detect enzyme activity a certain minimal amount of water is required and that above this minimum the rate is still restricted by diffusion limitation. The relevance of the results to the physical state of water in reaction mixtures and to metabolism in seeds and spores in xeric conditions is discussed.

Detailed time courses of uptake of labeled 3-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glycose by untreated and ATP-depleted Novikoff rat hepatoma cells were determined as function of concentration (0.2-10 mM) by a rapid mixing/sampling technique which allows uptake measurements in time intervals as short as 1.5 seconds. Intracellular accumulation of 3-O-methylglucose in untreated and ATP-depleted cells and of deoxyglucose in ATP-depleted cells to equilibrium followed pseudo-first order kinetics and initial velocities were computed from overall time courses of substrate accumulation. Initial velocity was a Michaelis-Menten function of exogenous substrate concentration. The estimated kinetic constants for zero-trans transport of 3-O-methylglucose were about the same for untreated and ATP-depleted cells (Kztm = 1.73 +/- 0.24 mM; Vztmax = 28.8 +/- 3.6 pmoles/microliter cell H2O. sec) and were similar to those for deoxyglucose transport in ATP-depleted cells (Kztm = 0.65 +/- 0.1 mM; Vztmax = 19.6 +/- 1.6 pmoles/microliter cell H2O. sec). Similar kinetic parameters were obtained for the transport of D-glucose and D-galactose in ATP-depleted cells. The transport of 3-O-methylglucose and deoxyglucose were inhibited by each other in a simple competitive manner with apparent Ki's similar to their transport Km's. In untreated cells, in which deoxyglucose was phosphorylated, intracellular steady-state levels of free deoxyglucose accumulated within 10 to 20 seconds of incubation regardless of its concentration in the medium. Thereafter, the rate of deoxyglucose incorporation into total cell material reflected the rate of phosphorylation rather than the transport rate. The rate of deoxyglucose transport exceeded the initial rate of its phosphorylation by 20-40 %. The intracellular steady-state-levels observed during the first 2 minutes of incubation decreased from about 40% of equilibrium level at 0.2 mM deoxyglucose to about 8% at 10 mM. Computer fits of a kinetic equation describing transport and phosphorylation as independent processes operating in tandem to these data are consistent with the observed kinetic constants for hexose transport and hexokinase activity with deoxyglucose as substrate. Upon longer incubation (2-10 minutes) the rate of deoxyglucose uptake by the phosphorylating cells decreased progressively, concomitant with a decrease in intracellular ATP and an increase in intracellular deoxyglucose to equilibrium levels. It is demonstrated that the rate of deoxyglucose uptake, measured at two or more minutes, seriously underestimates the hexose transport rate and yields misleading conclusions regarding the extent and type of inhibition by transport inhibitors, such as persantin or cytochalasin B. Persantin inhibited hexose transport in a simple non-competitive manner (Ki = 20 muM) indicating that the drug affects the function of the hexose carrier.

Dry, thin films containing all necessary reagents for clinical analysis by colorimetry have been designed. Reagents in a matrix of hydrophilic polymer are coated on top of a transparent plastic base. A white isotropically porous polymer spreading layer, 80% void volume, is coated over the reagent layer(s). In the analysis, a drop (typically 10 microliter) of undiluted serum or other fluid is touched to the spreading layer. The fluid spreads rapidly and uniformly through the pore structure, filling a void volume corresponding to the drop volume. Water and low-molecular-weight components diffuse from the spreading layer into the reagent layer(s), initiating the reaction sequence. The spreading layer acts also as a white optical diffuser for reflection densitometry. Optical reflection density is linearized through use of the function developed by Williams and Clapper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 43, 595 (1953)] to convert reflection to transmission density. A wide variety of chemical assays are compatible with this format. As an example, for the glucose film we found coefficients of variation of 1.5% in predicting glucose concentrations in control sera during 20 days. Results for glucose concentrations in several hundred patients' sera by the present method were very cose to those obtained with the Center for Disease Control's hexokinase reference method.

In a theoretical study the influence of hemoglobin and Mg-ions as binding partners of red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and ATP was investigated. Free hemoglobin may be an efficient competitor of Mg2+ for the ligand ATP. At conditions which favour hemoglobin as binding partner (i.e. desoxygenation, low medium pH and incubation temperature, as in blood preservation) up to 95% of the whole cellular ATP (ca. 2mM in cell water) may be bound to hemoglobin (ca. 7 mM). This binding is largely prevented in the presence of physiological amounts of diphosphoglycerate (ca. 7 mM) which is in excess and has a higher binding affinity to hemoglobin. Therefore, diphosphoglycerate keeps ATP (MgATP) in cell water solution at conditions in which Hb would trop it in the presence of Mg2+ (ca. 3mM). It can be calculated that, by lack of free MgATP, the activity of hexokinase within the cell drops by a factor of greater than 10 when diphosphoglycerate is metabolized. This indirect activation by diphosphoglycerate of hexokinase is operative at free concentrations of DPG far below those which exert the well known excess inhibitory effect on hexokinase and phosphofructokinase. In a model study, the activation by diphosphoglycerate of the initial two-kinase stage was introduced into a simplified kinetic model of glycolysis. A pronounced hysteresis loop of the stationary concentrations of ATP and diphosphoglycerate was produced indicating the existence of several stationary states, one with high ATP and high diphosphoglycerate, the other one with low values. It is demonstrated that diphosphoglycerate, being a protector of glycolysis at physiological concentrations, triggers an autocatalytic breakdown of the energy state when permitted to drop to low values.
