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.

In studies on the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate on glycolysis in human erythrocytes, the following results were obtained: 1) Glucose consumption and lactate production are reduced by 70 and 40 per cent relative to normal erythrocytes in red blood cells containing five times the normal amount of 2, 3, -P2-glycerate ("high-diphosphoglycerate" cells) at an extracellular pH of 7.4. The marked dependency of glycolysis on the extracellular pH observed in normal erythrocytes is almost completely lost in the "high-diphosphoglycerate" cells. 2) About 50 per cent of the inhibition of glycolysis in "high-diphosphoglycerate" cells can be accounted for by the 2, 3-P2-glycerate-induced decrease of the red-cell pH. This fall of the red-cell pH which occurs as a conswquence of the Donnan effect of the non-pentrating 2, 3-P2-glycerate anion leads to a reduction of the glycolytic rate due to the properties of the enzyme phosphofructokinase. 3) The remaining part of the inhibitory effect must be attributed to an inhibition by 2, 3-P2-glycerate of glycolytic enzymes. From measurements of glycolytic rates and of the concentrations of glycolytic intermediates in the absence and presence of methylene blue it is concluded that the hexokinase reaction is inhibited by an elevation of 2, 3-P2-glycerate concentration in "high-diphosphoglycerate" cells suggests that also the enzyme pyruvate kinase is inhibited by 2, 3-P2-glycerate. 4) The dependencies of net-change of 2, 3-P2-glycerate concentration on the red-cell pH are identical in normal and "high-diphosphoglycerate" cells indicating that the balance between formation and decomposition of 2, 3-P2-glycerate is the same in erythrocytes with normal and very high compositions of 2, 3-P2-glycerate.

Fetal and adult erythrocyte characteristics were studied serially in a 30-mo-old female with juvenile chronic myelocytic leukemia. On presentation the erythrocytes exhibited predominantly fetal characteristics as indicated by 69% hemoglobin F (HbF), 1.1% hemoglobin A2 (HbA2), absent I antigen, and fetal levels of the erythrocyte enzymes, carbonic anhydrase I and II, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase; 100% of the erythrocytes present contained HbF. However, Orskov-Jacobs-Stewart hemolysis demonstrated that at least one adult characteristic was present. Seven months later HbF was 17%; I antigen and carbonic anhydrase I had increased to adult levels. The number of cells containing HbF had decreased to 30%. Further studies indicated that at least three new populations of red cells were present after 7 mo which had not previously been detected. Two of these populations exhibited a mixture of both fetal and adult characteristics. Such findings suggested that an ongoing disturbance of regulatory mechanisms was responsible for the variable expression of fetal versus adult erythrocyte characteristics.

Parenchymal cells were isolated from adult rat liver with an enzyme perfusion technique. The single-cell suspension, representing 40-50% of the liver's hepatocytes was suspended in medium and maintained in primary culture for up to four days. The cells were found to carry out glycogen synthesis for the first eight hours in culture after which time the accumulated glycogen was gradually degraded. The ability of the liver cell cultures to accumulate glycogen was found to be dependent upon the metabolic state of the animal prior to cell isolation. Cells prepared during the feeding period from animals on the 8+16 feeding schedule had markedly different capacities for glycogen accumulation. Changes in glycogen metabolism were found to be due, in part, to changes in the fraction of cells involved in metabolism at any given time. High concentrations of glucose stimulated the cells to deposit glycogen but the response was reduced the longer the cells were in culture over a 3-day period. This loss of glycogen synthesizing capacity appears to be due to a decrease in glycogen synthetase activity. The activities of pyruvate kinase, hexokinase and aldolase also decrease during the culture period.

Parenchymal cells from adult rat liver, isolated by a collagenase perfusion technique, have been maintained in primary culture and a detailed study on carbohydrate metabolism carried out over the initial 48-hour culture period. The glucose concentration of the medium exerts a major influence on glycogen accumulation by the cells. Insulin, particularly at high glucose concentrations, stimulates glycogen biosynthesis, whereas glucagon prevents glycogen accumulation. Dexamethasone was without effect on glycogen metabolism. Glucose appears to stimulate glycogen accumulation by activation of glycogen synthetase enzyme. However, there is a gradual loss of synthetase activity throughout the culture period. Similar decreases in activity were noted for pyruvate kinase, aldolase and hexokinase. Glucose, insulin and dexamethasone were unable to prevent these decreases in enzyme activity. Foetal bovine serum contains fructose and this hexose appears to be the factor in serum which is responsible for the activation of glycogen accumulation in the presence of physiological glucose concentrations. The lactic acid content of the serum may also stimulate glycogen accumulation. In general, there is a gradual loss of the pattern of carbohydrate metabolism typical of differentiated hepatocytes during the culture period.

1. Developmental enzyme alterations were investigated in skeletal muscle of the hereditary progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD) mice of C57BL/6J strain. 2. Enzymes examined were classified into three groups according to changes of activities in dystrophy muscle during ageing. Activities of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1), and fructose-biphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), each of which had the respective muscle specific isoenzyme of extremely high activity in normal adult skeletal muscle, decreased rapidly in dystrophy muscle from the early stage of the disease with ageing. Activities of glycogen synthase (EC 2.4.1.11) and hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) were higher in dystrophy muscle in the early stage but decreased gradually to lower levels than those in the control with ageing. Activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) were always much higher in dystrophy muscle than in the control, with no relation to ageing. 3. Isoenzymes of creatine kinase, pyruvate kinase and phosphorylase in dystrophy muscle were mainly the muscle types, indicating that muscle differentiation was not blocked profoundly even in dystrophy muscle. In limited cases, especially in the early stage of the disease, very weak activities of the non-muscle fetal type isoenzymes of creatine kinase and phosphorylase were detected, apparently associated with partial muscle regeneration in dystrophy muscle.

Carbohydrate metabolism by four rat hepatoma cell lines in culture, namely, Reuber H35, MH1C1, RLC, and HTC, has been investigated. Glucose utilization by H35 and MH1C1 cells is lower than that by RLC and HTC cells. The four cell lines also differ with respect to the accumulation of lactic acid in the growth medium; in particular, H35 cells show uptake of lactic acid, rather than accumulation in the medium. Specific activities of a number of enzymes involved in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, and glycogen formation were determined in the four cell lines. A direct relationship between the differences was found for the activities of some enzymes belonging to carbohydrate metabolism, namely, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, aldolases A and B, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and the differences found for glucose utilization by the different cell lines.

The hepatocyte and haematopoietic cell contents of the liver of the foetal guinea pig were measured over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes represented about 30% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this increased to 70-80% by term; cell volume remained fairly constant until 5-7 days before term, then more than doubled. Haematopoietic cells represented about 5% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this progressively fell to <1% by term. At 75% of gestation hepatocytes and haematopoietic cells were prepared from perfused foetal livers by collagenase digestion. Enzyme activity of the hepatocyte was, without exception, similar to that of the whole liver. In general, enzyme activity in the haematopoietic cells was similar to that in erythrocytes, with relatively low values for aldolase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, ;malic' enzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. The haematopoietic cell contribution to total enzyme activity in the foetal liver was usually much less than 10% and could thus not account for the major changes in hepatic enzyme activity over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes contained hexokinase isoenzymes I and III, aldolase isoenzymes A and B and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 1, 2 and 4. The haematopoietic cells contained hexokinase isoenzyme I and two additional bands of activity with slightly greater mobility, aldolase isoenzyme A and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 2 and 4.

Streptozotocin treatment (125 mg/kg) in the Chinese hamster induced hyperglycaemia, hypoinsulinaemia, hyperglucagonaemia and changes in body, liver, pancreas, stomach, kidney and adipose tissue weights. The pancreatic reserves of insulin and glucagon in the diabetic animals were low, but stomach glucagon high. These animals showed high levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and low levels of glucokinase, hexokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme, but normal levels of pyruvate kinase in the liver. Increases in lactate dehydrogenase subunit B and isozymes 2, 3 and 4 were also observed in the liver, but not in the epididymal fat pad, of the diabetic animals. N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase was elevated in plasma, liver and heart, but not in the kidney of the treated animals. Renal alpha-galactosidase and beta-glucosidase were depressed, whereas beta-galactosidase and alpha-glucosidase remained essentially normal. These features indicated that there were considerable differences between the biochemical disorders associated with streptozotocin-diabetes in the Chinese hamster and the published observations in the rat.

Several glycolytic enzymes were observed to have between 40-90% of their activities associated with the particulate fractions of lysed nerve endings. The enzymes showing high particulate activity in lysed nerve endings were hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.27). With the exception of phosphofructokinase, 80% or more of the particle associated activity of each enzyme was solubilized by salt treatment indicating the association with particles was ionic. Sub-fractionation of lysed nerve endings showed hexokinase and fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) had the highest specific activity in the same fractions which is consistent with observations indicating that hexokinase is associated with mitochondria. The other glycolytic zymes having high particulate activity, aldolase, glucosephosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, showed enrichment in fractions containing synaptosomal membranes, i.e. the fractions having highest specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3).
