Exogenously added trypsin arrested invertase secretion by sphacroplasts of Saccharomyces strain 1016. The mechanism of inhibition is presumed due to attack on plasma membrane protein(s). Gross membrane damage by trypsin was not apparent, as evidence by the absence of leakage of intracellular alkaline phosphatase, after trypsin treatment. Trypsin treatment did induce an increased sensitivity to lysis, observed only when changes in osmotic pressure were made and fresh glucose added. While synthesis of invertase was eventually inhibited by trypsin, a greater than twofold increase in internal invertase was observed, due to complete inhibition of secretion. This is the first report of the uncoupling of synthesis and secretion in yeast.

1. We have studied the in vitro effect of 39 drugs on 17 biochemical parameters determined by a SMAC System. Only two drugs were found to interfere: ascorbic and theophyline. 2. The ascorbic acid lowers the glucose and the bilirubine values; it increases the creatinine and the uric acid concentration. At concentration smaller than 5 mg/dl of this drug, these effects are negligible. 3. We have found a new drug interference: theophylline inhibits the alkaline phosphatase and LDH activities. This effect is not negligible on alkaline phosphatase for therapeutic levels of this drug; the action on LDH can be ignored at normal therapeutic range. 4. For a given drug, we have found different interference with biochemical parameters determined with various commercial lyophlised control sera or a liquid pool of sera. This indicates that the type of sera used in drug interference studies must be described.

The dog jejunum is a much denser tissue than the ileum, with a greater weight per unit length and higher proportion of mucosal tissue. Morphometric analysis reveals longer and wider villi, deeper crypts and larger enterocytes in the jejunal mucosa. Uptake of phenylalanine or beta-methyl-glucoside by tissue slices in vitro is slightly greater in jejunal than in ileal tissue. The levels of acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase in the individual enterocytes are significantly greater in the jejunum, according to quantitative histochemical analysis. The absorption of water, sodium, potassium, chloride and glucose in vivo is significantly smaller in the jejunal than in ileal loops, particularly when expressed in terms of unit mucosal weight. Sodium and water absorptions are stimulated by glucose at both sites, but the stimulation is significantly greater in the ileum. Opposite results have been obtained in rats where the transport of phenylalannie in vitro is greater in the ileum, but water, electrolyte and glucose absorption in vivo is greater in the jejunum.

In this study, the nonparametric percentile estimate (PE), a statistical procedure requiring no previous assumption regarding the distribution of the underlying population, was used to determine adult normal limits for fasting plasma glucose, serum alkaline phosphatase, and urine amylase. Comparisons to the gaussian distribution were performed with histograms, symmetry calculations, plots on probability paper, and the chi-square test. The nonparametric and traditional PEs agreed perfectly when the glucose data fit the gaussian and log-gaussian curves. The nonparametric PE varied from the gaussian PE but was identical to the log-gaussian PE when the alkaline phosphatase activities followed the log-gaussian form. It differed sharply from the gaussian PE and was similar to the log-gaussian PE when the amylase values did not follow either the gaussian or log-gaussian model. The non-parametric PE was as efficient as its gaussian theory competitors when the assumed distributions were correct and, in most instances, was more accurate when the assumed distributions were incorrect.

The effects of carbohydrate intake on jejunal disaccharidases in rats with chronic mannitol-induced, osmotic diarrhea were studied. Weanling rats were force-fed 5 ml/100 g of body weight of water of 20% mannitol (w/v 1300 mOsm) daily for up to 14 days. Diets containing 70% of either starch, sucrose, glucose, or 20% lactose with 50% starch were fed ad libitum. Mannitol-fed rats had increased water intake and diarrhea. They gained weight, but less than controls. The levels of intestinal disaccharidases in mannitol-fed rats were related to dietary carbohydrate intake. Seven days of mannitol treatment led to lactase and sucrase deficiencies in rats fed starch whereas jejunal maltase and alkaline phosphatase were unchanged. Deficiencies in lactase and maltase but not in sucrase were induced when rats were fed a sucrose diet, while a decrease only in sucrase occurred in rats fed a lactose-starch diet. Rats with mannitol-induced diarrhea fed a glucose diet had reduced levels of all disaccharidases. The changes in intestinal disaccharidases were not associated with alterations in the number of epithelial cells or ultrastructural abnormalities. 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA following 7 days of mannitol treatment was similar to water-fed controls. Absorptive epithelial cells were not damaged and the microvilli were normal in height and appearance. These data suggest that the levels of specific disaccharidases show and enhanced dependence upon the corresponding dietary substrates during diarrhea induced by an osmotic load.

The values of a number of biochemical variables have been studied before and after a 50-gram load of glucose orally. Reductions which were statistically significant were found for sodium, potassium, urea, total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus, urate, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, but not for bicarbonate, creatinine, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, cholesterol, triglyceride or chloride. The magnitude of the changes was generally not great, but could be clinically appreciable. The differences may need to be taken into account in comparing population studies.

Forty 100 g male rats were fed, in groups of eight, either 0, 5, or 25 ppm cadmium in a purified diet for 14 wk. Three groups were fed each of the levels of cadmium on an ad libitum basis. Two other groups were fed either 0 or 5 ppm cadmium in amounts that were equalized to that consumed by the 25 ppm group fed ad libitum. Cadmium ingestion decreased daily diet consumption, weight gain, and terminal body weight. These parameters were not significantly different in rats whose diet consumption was equalized. Packed cell volume and serum iron as well as serum zinc were decreased in the rats fed 25 ppm cadmium. These effects were not related to diet intake. No major differences were observed in serum ceruloplasmin, glucose, protein, leucine aminopeptidase activity, or copper in any of the groups. Blood urea nitrogen and renal leucine aminopeptidase activity were decreased by cadmium ingestion in the rats fed ad libitum only. In contrast, serum alkaline phosphatase activity was elevated by cadmium in the equalized-intake groups only. Cadmium and zinc concentrations were elevated and the iron concentration was decreased in the kidney, liver, and intestinal mucosa of the cadmium-fed rats irrespective of level of diet consumption. The increased uptake of cadmium in these tissues was coincident with the increased content of the cadmium-binding protein, metallothionein, in the cytosol fraction. The results indicate that some parameters of chronic cadmium toxicity are associated with diet consumption whereas others are not.

Ten subjects were exposed to high-G on the human centrifuge using seatback angles of 13 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, and 75 degrees from the vertical, and body configurations of the lower portion of the body with pelvis and legs elevated, pelvis, elevated, and pelvis elevated with knees on chest (fetal position). Tolerance was measured by peripheral light loss. Mental status, respirations, core and ambient temperatures, and ECG were monitored. Daily physio-chemical data included: creatinine, bilirubin, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, BUN, glucose, LDH cardiac isoenzyme No. 5, SGOT, SGPT, CPK, CBC, and urinalysis. Tiredness, pressure on the chest, and general discomfort in the fetal position were reported. Physical examination demonstrated petechiae. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature increased post-session. There was a significant rise in values for albumin, chloride ion, creatinine, calcium, LDH, BUN, and immature white cells; and a decrease in values for phosphorus, SGOT, SGPT, protein, uric acid CO2, globulin, hematocrit, monocytes, and eosinophils.

Twenty days after the onset of alloxan-induced diabetes, a villous hyperplasia has developed in the intestines of rats having free access to food. The transformation is characterised by a considerable increase in the area of the villous surface, caused by an enhanced mitotic activity in the crypts. The absorption of glucose or methionine by jejunal loops, whether expressed in terms of serosal area or villous area, is unchanged at this stage. On the other hand, the specific activity of certain disaccharidases and dipeptidases in crude mucosal homogenates is greater in diabetic animals, but quantitative histochemistry revealed no changes in the activities of alkaline phosphatase, leucine amino-peptidase and non-specific esterase in the individual enterocytes. Thus the biochemical changes may simply reflect the hyperplasia of the mucosa. The blood sugar level does not appear to be directly responsible for the mucosal transformation; however, the positive correlation between the daily food intake and the villus height suggests a role of hyperphagia and consequent increased luminal nutrition in the development of the hyperplasia.

The effects of prolonged strenous exercise on the plasma concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate, albumin, cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, creatine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase and asparate amino transferase were studied in a group of 26 horses competing in an endurance ride. There were significant changes in most parameters, when control values were compared with those taken immediately after the ride. There was also a significant correlation between several biochemical parameters and heart rate taken 30 minutes after the ride. When faster and slower horses were compared, significant differences were found only in phosphate and glucose values.
