Twelve acid hydrolases, 4 near-neutral hydrolases, and alkaline phosphatase were demonstrated in 0.34 M sucrose homogenates of Trypanosoma cruzi strain Y: p-nitrophenylphosphatase and alpha-naphthylphosphatase, with optimum pH at approximately 6.0; alpha=ga;actpsodase. beta=ga;actpsodase. beta=g;icpsodase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, cathepsin A and peptidase I and III, with optimum pH between 5.0 and 6.0; and arylsulfatase, cathepsin D, alpha-arabinase and alpha-mannosidase with optimum pH at approximately 4.0. alpha-Glucosidase, glucose-6-phosphatase and peptidase II had optimum pH at approximately 7.0. beta-Glycerophosphatase had a broad pH-activity curve from 4,0 to 7.4, with maximum activity at pH 7.0. The main kinetic characteristics of these enzymes and their quantitative assay methods were studied. No activity was detected for alpha-fucosidase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucuronidase, elaidate esterase, acid lipase, and alkaline phosphodiesterase.

Liver glucose-6-phosphatase and lipase-esterase, liver and muscle glycogen phosphorylase, and brown fat lipase-esterase activity changes were studied during the postnatal development of rats born and growing up in temperatures of +5 and 20 degrees C. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity was highest at the age of 4 days in both environments. In the age groups 20-67 days glucose-6-phosphatase activity was higher in animals living in a cold environment than in those reared at room temperature. At birth, glycogen phosphorylase activity was high in the liver but very low in the muscle. No difference was found between the two temperatures. The lipase-esterase activity in the liver was very low at birth, rising to adult level by the age of 30 days, while in the brown fat the activity was already high at the time of birth and clearly higher in rats born in a cold environment than in those born at room temperature. At the time of birth the relative and absolute weight of brown fat were also clearly higher in rats born at +5 degrees C than in those born +20 degrees C.

The intestinal epithelium of Ascardia galli has been studied with various cytological and cytochemical techniques. It consists of large epithelial cells resting on a thick collagenous basal lamina. Their luminal surface is provided with microvilli. The intestinal cells store considerable amounts of glycogen and neutral lipids. Some intracellular granular inclusions, which stain for proteins, phospholipids and lipoproteins, are distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The brush border is composed of microvilli whereas the outer surface coat consists of saliva resistant PAS-positive material. The detailed histochemical analysis of surface material has revealed that it is composed of nonacetylated acid mucopolysaccharides rich in hyaluronic acid with carboxylate polyanions. The brush border shows intense activities of acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase, moderate of ATPase, and lipase, weak of 5'-nucleotidase. Acid phosphatase-positive intracellular structures are seen in the intestinal epithelium which form distinct aggregations.

The effect of LC(50) (1.8 MG/L) and a sublethal concentration (0.03 mg/L) of in vivo mercuric chloride exposure on the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, glucose-6-phosphatase, lipase and urease in the kidneys and ovaries of a teleost fish, Channa punctatus has been studied after 96 hr and 30 days respectively. It has been observed that the activities of all the enzymes except acid phosphatase were significantly inhibited in both the tissues. However, treatment for 96 hr resulted in more marked inhibition than 30 days of treatment. Acid phosphatase showed elevation in activity in the kidney after 96 hr of treatment.

The effect of LC(50) and a sublethal concentration of lead nitrate on the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, lipase and urease in the kidneys and ovaries of a teleost fish, Channa punctatus has been examined after 96 hr and 30 days respectively. The results show that all the five enzymes in the two tissues are inhibited significantly at both the experimental stages. However, the inhibition produced after 30 days by the sublethal concentration ish higher indicating the cumulative action of lead. Further, the inhibition of enzymes is, more marked in kidney than in the ovary.

The interaction of glycoproteins of rough and smooth microsomal and Golgi membranes with Sepharose-bound lectins has been studied. One of these lectins was a crude preparation from wheat germ lipase which was found to bind primarily to N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Rough microsomes, smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes contain glycoproteins which bind to Concanavalin A (Con A specific for mannose residues) in decreasing amounts in the order indicated (rough, smooth and Golgi) and to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, glucosamine-specific) and to the crude lipase preparation in increasing amounts in the order indicated. The small amount of binding of rough microsomes and Golgi membranes to Crotalaria (galactose-specific) increases substantially after neuraminidase treatment. Three submicrosomal particle preparations enriched either in AMPase or in NADH- or NADPH-oxidizing electron-transport enzymes contain glycoproteins which bind Con A and wheat germ agglutinin. The latter binding is sensitive to neuraminidase treatment. Two other submicrosomal particle preparations, both enriched in glucose-6-phosphatase activity, bind preferentially to WGA. This binding is, however, not sensitive to neuraminidase. Prolonged incubation with Ervilia lectin (mannose-specific) inhibits NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity, while the electron-transport chain involving cytochrome b5 is also inhibited by Crotalaria, indicating that both the flavoprotein and the cytochrome b5 are glycoproteins whose oligosaccharide chains have terminal mannose or galactose residues.

With histochemical methods the distribution of some enzymes and metabolic substances in the epidermal peelings of Phaseolus mungo, Lathyrus sativus, and Opuntia elatior under light and dark conditions is examined. Dehydrogenases oxidases, transferases and hydrolases were studied. Fluctuations in the activity of hydrolases, especially, acid phosphatase, lipase, glucose-6-phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, dehydrogenases and transferases were observed during light and dark conditions. The role of such fluctuations in relation to stomatal regulation is discussed. Based on the present studies the following is suggested; stomatal opening and closing is related to structural and metabolic changes, and these changes are brought about by sugar gradients in the guard cells; light is enhancing the synthesis of sugars and some hormones, and besides this it stimulates membrane bound adenyl cyclase and release of cyclic AMP which affects the permeability; subsidiary cells actively participate in the stomatal physiology. Lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes like acid phosphatase are actively involved in catabolic phase of normal guard cells metabolism and regulate the osmotic pressure of the guard cells.

Glycerolphosphate acyltransferase activity in microsomes from rat adipose tissue is shown to decrease with time upon incubation with adipose tissue cytosolic fraction. The inactivation can be prevented with serum albumin and seems to be caused by an increase in endogenous free fatty acid as a consequence of the action of cytosolic lipase(s) on the membrane lipids. Similar inactivation can be observed after short incubation of microsomes with oleic acid at micromolar concentrations. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase is also inhibited by oleic acid, although to a lesser degree. In contrast, glucose-6-phosphatase and NADPH-cytochrome reductase activities are not changed. The oleic acid effect appears to occur upon binding to the microsomal membranes and can be prevented by bovine serum albumin at protein/fatty acid molar ratios above one. These results suggest that free fatty acids may be involved in the modulation of triacylglycerol synthetic enzymes.

Dietary hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and gamma-isomer of HCH produced significant increase in liver weights of mice. Elevated levels of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and of alkaline phosphatase in the blood of these animals suggested hepatotoxicity. Hepatic soluble enzymes--aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase--were markedly lowered. Among the hepatic lysosomal enzymes, acid phosphatase and acid cathepsin were increased in the experimental animals. Hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase was lowered by HCH while aldolase activity was increased. Hydrolytic enzymes in small intestine, viz., disaccharidases, lipase, amylase, dipeptidase and phosphatases, were also affected by dietary HCH and gamma-HCH. The results suggested cellular toxicity in hepatocytes of HCH and gamma-HCH fed animals, and also interference in gastrointestinal absorption.

Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) somatostatin (sSS; 4 or 8 ng/g body wt) or synthetic Gillichthys urotensin II (UII; 2 or 4 ng/g body wt) were injected intraperitoneally into juvenile freshwater coho salmon. Both sSS and UII caused a dose-dependent increase in plasma free fatty acids (FFA) which diminished with time. sSS induced an initial (1 hr) transient hyperglycemia. By contrast, UII tended to induce hypoglycemia, this effect being significant 5 hr after injection of the higher dose. Both sSS and UII depressed plasma insulin titers 1 hr after injection. By 3 hr, the sSS-associated insulin depression was no longer observed. UII treatment induced a hyperinsulinemia which was present 3 and 5 hr after peptide administration. Although no decreases in liver total lipid concentration or in mesenteric fat total tissue mass were observed, lipolytic enzyme activity within each depot was significantly enhanced by both peptides. Neither sSS nor UII altered 3H2O incorporation into fatty acids or neutral lipids. However, enhanced lipogenesis, particularly by UII, was indicated by increased NADPH production resulting from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Both sSS and UII enhanced glucose mobilization, as indicated by decreased liver glycogen content and increased liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity. UII, but not sSS, stimulated glycogen synthetase activity. These results suggest that both sSS and UII stimulate hyperlipidemia by enhancing depot lipase activity and that although both factors are potentially gluconeogenetic, sSS seems to be glycogenolytic and hyperglycemic, whereas UII may channel glucose to FFA synthesis.
