The influence of high intake of vitamin C in the young growing rats under administration of nickel sulphate in toxic doses has been studied. Ingestion of nickel sulphate depresses the growth rates of rats, alters the vitamin C status in different tissues, inhibits certain enzymes of vitamin C metabolism and changes the activities of alkaline phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase in the liver and kidney tissues. The acid phosphatase activity of liver, kidney and brain tissues of rats and glucose-6-phosphatase activity in liver, and serum GOT activity were stimulated, with reduction in the in the liver GOT activity. There is stimulation in the activities of rat brain inorganic pyrophosphatase and cholinesterase. Kidney tissues of rats were found to be more susceptible towards nickel toxicity as compared to the hepatic tissues in respect of morphological alterations. There is almost no alteration in the hepatic lipid composition. Administration of vitamin C in high doses to rats fed nickel salts in toxic doses can restore not only the growth rates but also certain enzyme activities to a significant extent.

The dermal cells in grey, xanthic, and white goldfish integuments were cytochemically characterized for the following enzymatic activities: tyrosinase, DOPA-oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase, peroxidase, non-specific esterase, cholinesterase, NAD-diaphorase, NADP-diaphorase, aryl sulfatase, nucleotide phosphodiesterase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, aldolase, as well as succinate, malate, isocitrate, glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, alpha-glycerophosphate, alcohol, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases. It was found that the epidermis was a significant barrier to the access of cytochemical reaction substrates. Removal of the epidermal barrier provided dermal cell localizations of enzymatic activities which were reproducible. Further, alterations in reaction times and temperatures from the mammalian methodology provided conditions fe various integumental cells were compared for possible interrelationships. The basic foundations for future work with the dermis of poikilothermic vertebrates on an experimental basis were established. In addition, a previously undescribed non-pigmented dermal cell, the "x"-cell, was found to have enzymatic characteristics similar to both melanophores and lipophores. The "x"-cell may be the common precursor of both types of pigment cells.

The effects of single acute oral doses of 1, 2.1, and 3.5 mg/kg oxamyl (a carbamate insecticide) on selected biochemical parameters in male Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated. The animals exhibited significantly decreased weight gain when compared to control animals. The compound inhibited brain and blood acetylcholinesterase significantly in the first few hours of exposure. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase was inhibited substantially after 7 and 4 days at the levels of 2.1 and 3.5 mg/kg, respectively. Maximum inhibition of liver succinic acid dehydrogenase was noted after 1 day at the level of 1 mg/kg and after 6 hr at the level of 2.1 and 3.5 mg/kg. Significant changes in serum total lipids and glucose were observed when oxamyl was given at 2.1 and 3.5 mg/kg, but serum protein was not affected at any dose level. However, the absence of statistically significant effects between Days 7 and 14 in most of the investigated parameters is indicative of an overall moderate degree of toxicity of oxamyl following acute oral administration of the selected doses.

Treatment of rats with diazinon (40 mg/kg, i.p.) resulted in hyperglycaemia and depletion of glycogen from the brain and peripheral tissues two hours after administration. The activities of glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase were significantly higher in the brain and liver; that of glucose-6-phosphatase was not altered. The activities of the glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased only in the brain. The cholinesterase activity in the brain was reduced by treatment with diazinon. The activities of the hepatic gluconeogenic enzymes fructose 1,6-diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were significantly increased. The lactate level was increased in the brain and blood, whereas that of pyruvate was not changed. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was not changed to any major extent. Cholesterol and ascorbic acid contents of adrenals were depleted in diazinon-treated animals. The changes were pronounced after intraperitoneal administration of 40 mg/kg diazinon, they were slight but significant after 20 mg/kg, and absent after 10 mg/kg. Hyperglycaemia and changes in carbohydrate metabolism were abolished by adrenalectomy suggesting possible involvement of adrenals.

The neurochemical changes induced by malathion, an organophosphate compound, were determined in rats. Maximal changes were found in the brain 2 h after the administration of malathion in a dose of 500 mg/kg ip. The activities of cholinesterase and succinic dehydrogenase were reduced whereas those of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, and hexokinase were increased; the lactate content of brain was also increase. In malathion treated adrenalectomized animals, changes in the activities of cerebral cholinesterase and succinic dehydrogenase were still present; other changes were, however, abolished by adrenalectomy. Activities of certain enzymes, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase were not significantly altered by malathion in normal or adrenalectomized animals. The results indicate that cerebral cholinergic mechanism in malathion treated animals was not modified by adrenalectomy which, however, abolished or reduced changes in the activities of certain glycolytic and glycogenolytic enzymes that are involved in the utilization or metabolism of glucose. The brain lactate content in malathion treated adrenalectomized animals was, also, not significantly different from the control values, suggesting that modification of induced changes by adrenalectomy.

The cholesterol and ascorbic acid contents of adrenals were depleted in diazinon-treated animals. The hyperglycemia and changes in carbohydrate metabolism were abolished by adrenalectomy, suggesting the possible involvement of the adrenals in the induced changes in diazinon-treated animals.

A 30-day ingestion of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) by carp (Cyprinus carpio) induced hypoglycemia without activation of two hepatic gluconeogenesis enzymes (fructose diphosphatase, EC 4.1.2.13, and glucose-6-phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.9) and hyponatremia and variations in muscle plasmic membrane-bound enzymes (especially cholinesterases, EC 3.1.1.7). After 109 days carps exhibited a decrease in natremia but no significant hypoglycemia. There was an activation of gluconeogenesis enzymes. Important changes were observed in the activities of muscle plasmic membrane enzymes (especially 5'-nucleotidase, EC 3.1.3.5, and ATPases, EC 3.6.1.3). Lindane, a lipophilic substance, especially disturbed the activity of membrane-bound enzymes enclosed in a phospholipid matrix.

The method is suggested to isolate simultaneously microsomes and plasma membranes of neuroblastoma S 1300 N 18 cells by means of differential centrifugation in the step density gradient of Percoll/Ficoll with a high degree of purification determined from the activity of marker enzymes (acetyl cholinesterase Na+,K+-ATPase, alkali phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, succinate-dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase) as well as from the content of DNA and RNA and with a sufficiently high protein yield. The purified fractions of microsomes and plasma membranes are established to contain no phosphatidyl glycerol and cardiolipin--safety markers of mitochondrial membrane purification. A degree of separation of microsomes, plasma membranes and proteins dissolved in cytosol may be estimated by the activity of the cholesterol-synthesizing system of enzymes with the use of sterol-transferring protein.

Treatment with diazinon resulted in hyperglycaemia and depletion of glycogen from cerebral and peripheral tissues 2 h after its administration in rats; the changes were maximal after 40 mg/kg diazinon, administered intraperitoneally. The activities of glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase were significantly increased in brain and liver, while that of glucose-6-phosphatase was not altered. The activities of the glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased only in brain. The cholinesterase activity of the brain was reduced by treatment with diazinon. The activities of hepatic gluconeogenic enzymes (fructose 1,6 diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) were also significantly increased in diazinon-treated animals. The level of lactate was increased in brain and blood while that of pyruvate was not changed. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was not significantly changed. Cholesterol and ascorbic acid contents of adrenals were depleted in diazinon-treated animals. Adrenalectomy abolished the hyperglycaemia and changes in carbohydrate metabolism, suggesting the possible involvement of adrenals in the induced changes in diazinon-treated animals.

The effect of eight doses of 10,000, 20,000 and 30,000 UI of vitamin D2 administered every other day to three groups of rats, on the activities of some enzymes in the animals' liver was evaluated. In general terms, findings revealed a decrease in the activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphorylase and arginase. Likewise, an increase of the activities of maltase and of glutamic oxaloacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminases was observed. Furthermore, the activities of cholinesterase and alpha-amylase also varied depending on the vitamin D2 doses administered.
