The enzymic activity of blood of healthy male volunteers was examined during 8-day bed rest in the horizontal and head-down (-6 degrees) position, water immersion up to the neck and 6-hour head-down tilt (-15 degrees). Alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase (CE), leucine arylamidase (LA), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) were measured. During horizontal bed rest the activities of all the enzymes, except for GDH, decreased in a moderate degree which was very distinct at an early stage of exposure. The activity of GDH and CE decreased significantly after the exposure. The enzymic activity tended to decline during head-down tilt at -6 degrees. The LA and GGTP activity decreased to a greater extent, being statistically significant during head-down tilt at -6 degrees and in the recovery period. The enzymic activity insignificantly increased during water immersion and 6-hour head-down tilt at -15 degrees, remaining in some cases elevated during 5 days after exposure. The lower activity of enzymes (which was significant for some of them) during horizontal and antiorthostatic bed rest was primarily associated with diminished motor activity, whereas increased enzymic activity was related to the gravity-induced blood shift to the intrathoracic area.

Using fully mechanized analytical equipment, interference by haemolysis in the determination of 26 clinical chemical parameters was determined quantitatively by adding haemolysate to serum. Haemoglobin concentrations up to 6.6 g/l caused essentially no interference in the following determinations: albumin (immuno-nephelometric), alpha-amylase, calcium, chloride, cholesterol, cholinesterase, creatinine, iron, glucose, glutamate dehydrogenase, uric acid, urea, sodium, inorganic phosphate, total protein, transferrin and triglycerides. In the presence of haemoglobin, erroneously high values were found for: lactate dehydrogenase (haemoglobin higher than 0.2 g/l), aspartate aminotransferase, potassium and acid phosphate (haemoglobin higher than 1.5 g/l), creatine kinase (haemoglobin higher than 2.5 g/l) and alanine aminotransferase (haemoglobin higher than 3.4 g/l). Erroneously low values were found for bilirubin (haemoglobin higher than 0.8 g/l), alkaline phosphatase and albumin (by electrophoresis) (haemoglobin higher than 1.5 g/l) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (haemoglobin higher than 3.0 g/l).

The pesticide dichlorvos inhibits not only cholinesterase but also alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase competitively. A mixed type inhibition of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is in contrast to the increased activity of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase after dichlorvos application. The activity of leucine aminopeptidase is not affected by the substance. After administering rats an acutely toxic dose of dichlorvos (70 mg per kg b.w.) in vitro-inhibitions other than that of cholinesterase could not be found.

Combined enzymodiagnostic program--estimation of total activity of blood serum enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (AAT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma-GT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), acetyl cholinesterase (ACE), butyryl cholinesterase (BCE)--was studied to evaluate its diagnostic validity in surgical clinic. In mechanical jaundice of various origin mean values of the enzymatic activities studied as well as the enzymatic coefficients were distinctly altered as compared with control values: AST/AAT, gamma-GT/AST as well as the newer coefficients BCE/ACE, AP/gamma-GT, (formula; see text). The jaundices of tumoral and non-tumoral genesis caused markedly dissimilar alterations in the coefficients AST/AAT and (formula; see text). The data of enzymological analysis may be used for differential diagnosis in jaundices.

Acetylcholinesterase, glutamine synthetase, acid phosphatase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity in brain and cholinesterase activity in blood were investigated in mice exposed to 170 p.p.m. trichloroethylene (TCE) during 30 days. The neuronal enzymes remained unaffected which suggests that no general damage occurred to either the glia or the nerve cell populations. In accordance with this no effect was seen on acid phosphatase. In contrast, plasma butyrylcholinesterase increased twofold in exposed male mice while it was unaffected in females. Liver weight in males and females increased with a factor of 1.5 and 1.9, respectively.

Brain from 47 avian and 17 mammalian species and the liver from 19 avian and 7 mammalian species has been examined for acetyl cholinesterase and nitrophenyl acetate esterase activities. Plasma from 27 avian and 7 mammalian species has been examined for acetyl cholinesterase, cholinesterase, nitrophenyl acetate esterase, glutamate, oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activities. The studies have revealed that variations in enzyme activities occur between species but that there are discernible trends within families. The results indicate that comprehensive control enzyme data is necessary in order to assess the effects of exposure to agricultural chemicals in wildlife.

By means of histochemical techniques different reactions were studied in the amnion musculature of the chick during their most active period of contractions between the 5th and the 9th days of incubation. The muscle cells showed strong activity for cholinesterase and glutamate dehydrogenase and low activity for monoaminoxidase. The glycogen, phosphorylase and UDPG-glycogen glycosyltransferase were negative. Whereas, lipids and enzymes involved in fat metabolism were positive. The supposed energy source of the amnion musculature is discussed.

The stability of various marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) plasma constituents was investigated after storage at room temperature, 4 degrees C, and -20 degrees C. The method of sequential analysis ensured that the between-run bias of the methods of analysis used was drastically reduced, and the definitions of stability were linked to the imprecision of these methods. Optimal conditions for storage for as long as 48 h depended on the analyte being measured. Room temperature was optimal for cholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase; 4 degrees C for protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glutamate dehydrogenase; and -20 degrees C for glutathione reductase and alkaline phosphatase. For aspartate amino-transferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase, either 4 degrees C or -20 degrees C would be suitable. Reasons are advanced for some conflicting reports in the published work, and we emphasize the need to investigate each analyte and species separately.

Reference intervals for some clinical chemistry parameters in the marmoset were calculated. The effects of age (250-300 days compared with 500-550 days) and sex on the values found was investigated. Alkaline phosphatase levels decreased with age, young males having higher plasma levels than young females, but no sex differences were discernible for older animals. Levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and sorbitol dehydrogenase were higher in older males than in younger females. Higher plasma iron levels were found in the males with increasing age. Age and sex effects for protein and albumin were interactive and further interpretation was therefore difficult. No significant age or sex effects were seen for cholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate amino transferase, alanine aminotransferase or bilirubin.

The morphologic changes in the liver were investigated along with those in the activity of the specific liver enzymes in the blood plasma of rats in the case of the severe form of acute radiation disease. The rats were treated with 670 Rad at the rate of 90 Rad/min. The studies were carried out on the 1st, 8th , 15th, 22nd, and 30th day following irradiation. It was found that under the conditions of the experiment the activity of the cytoplasmic enzymes sorbitoldehydrogenase , cholinesterase, and leucinaminopeptidase strongly rose on the 1st day after treatment (the activity of sorbitoldehydrogenase increased 11 times). The activity of acid phosphatase and glutamate dehydrogenase also increased strongly, whereupon there was deterioration of the mitochondrial and lysosomal structures. Seen were well expressed processes of fatty and parenchymal dystrophy. The studies on the changes in the activity of these enzymes can be used as an adjunct, resp., an auxiliary test to the haematologic indices in the evaluation of the severity of radiation disease.
