Urinary lactate was analyzed in 53 normal children, 7 children with glucose-6-phosphatase-deficient glycogenosis, 1 child with fructose-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency and 1 child with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency. Lactate in 24-h urine was expressed as concentration, total excretion, excretion per kg body weight and per 1.73 m2 body surface, and as lactate/creatinine quotient. Of these parameters, the lactate concentration in 24-h urine showed the smallest variation in normal children (0.155 +/- 0.053 mM), whereas in patients with one of the above mentioned enzymopathies 10-300-fold elevations were found. The lactate/creatinine quotient, normal range 0.010 to 0.058 (mM/mM) was also used to correct for unnoticed losses of urine. Both parameters, used in conjunction with blood lactate analysis, are suitable for a first screening of patients with enzymopathies of carbohydrate metabolism, and for the follow-up study of the steady or unsteady state of the patient with an enzyme defect of carbohydrate metabolism.

Marker enzyme activities of different subcellular fractions were analyzed in cortex homogenates from rat kidney after different periods (15, 30, 60, and 90 min) of warm ischemia. Lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminopeptidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, and succinate-cytochrome c reductase were not altered by ischemia in these periods. ATPase (2,4-dinitrophenol-stimulated and azide-sensitive), 5'-nucleotidase, K-Mg-nitrophenylphosphatase decline within 30 min of ischemia, whereas the microsomal enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase decreased not before 60 min of ischemia. The early decrease of ATPase and of plasma membrane enzymes can be regarded as a consequence of membrane alterations. This enzymatic approach may be helpful to evaluate pharmacological agents for preventing and reserving ischemic effects in kidneys in a rational manner.

With an aim to investigate the relative sensitivity of various renal structures to allograft rejection, we analyzed the histochemical reaction intensity of seven enzymes prominently displayed in various rat kidney components, and correlated the expression of these enzymes both to the degree of intra-graft inflammation and to the expression of class II MHC antigens in graft capillary endothelial cells. Syngeneic transplants and normal renal tissue were used as controls. At the peak of inflammation, on the fifth day after transplantation, adenosine triphosphatase activity of vascular endothelial cells was strongly reduced in the peritubular capillary endothelium of the allograft, moderately in the glomerular endothelium but very little in the endothelium of arteries and veins. Lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities were moderately reduced in the proximal tubular cells of the allograft and even less in the distal tubular cells. The results suggest that the prime target of the host immune attack is the intertubular capillary endothelium, whereas the distal tubular cells are relatively insensitive to immune injury.

The intraperitoneal (IP) treatment of rats with diazinon (40 mg/kg) resulted in a variety of changes in the brain. Glycogen was depleted, but there was an increase in the activities of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and fructose 1,6 diphosphatase. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was unaffected while that of cholinesterase was significantly reduced. Lactic acid content was increased, while that of pyruvate was not altered. Animals developed tremors and convulsions, which were maximal two hours after treatment. The induced changes may be compensatory mechanisms to provide extra energy to cerebral tissue as a result of the stimulatory effects in diazinon-treated animals.

Twenty four hour urine samples of male control and streptozotocin-diabetic Wistar rats were analysed for a series of commonly known kidney-specific enzymes, for electrolytes, creatinine, glucose, total protein and urine volume. The examination was done during two periods of 5 days between the 25th and 30th and the 32nd and 36th day after streptozotocin application. In the first period the animals had free access to food and water, whereas in the second period on days 32, 34 and 36 food was withdrawn. In the first observation period the diabetic rats showed increased excretion rates of 15 measured urinary parameters, while alanine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.1.2) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) activities were lowered and inorganic phosphate was unchanged. The removal of food resulted in decreased excretion values for alanine aminopeptidase, gamma-glutamyltransferase and total protein as compared with fasted nondiabetic animals. The activities of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30), acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), C1-fructose 1.6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) and the excretion values for sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and glucose were higher than in fasted nondiabetic rats. beta-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), potassium, inorganic phosphate, creatinine, and urine volume showed no differences between fasted diabetic and fasted control animals. The enzymes in the renal cortex at the end of the experiment showed only decreased activity of alanine aminopeptidase in diabetic rats. Lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, beta-glucosidase, C1-fructose 1.6-diphosphatase and glucose 6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) were increased and gamma-glutamyltransferase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, acid phosphatase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) showed no change.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effect of diazinon (10,20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) on the level of blood glucose in rats was investigated. Hyperglycaemia peaked 2 h after i.p. treatment with 40 mg/kg diazinon. The cerebral acetylcholinesterase activity was significantly reduced. The blood level of pyruvic acid was unchanged while that of lactic acid was significantly increased. Convulsions and biochemical changes caused by diazinon (40 mg/kg) were prevented by diazepam injected immediately after diazinon. In diazinon-treated hyperglycaemic animals, the glycogen content of the brain was depleted, the activities of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase and hexokinase were significantly increased and the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase remained unchanged. Lactate dehydrogenase activity was also increased by treatment with diazinon. The induced changes may compensate for the energy requirement of stimulatory effects caused by diazinon.

The effect of vitamin C deficiency on various enzymes of the intestinal epithelium has been studied in guinea pigs. Brush border sucrase and alkaline phosphatase activities were considerably enhanced (p less than 0.001), but leucine aminopeptidase levels were reduced in scorbutic animals compared to the control group. There was essentially no change in the activity of maltase under these conditions. Kinetic studies with sucrase and alkaline phosphatase in control and scorbutic animals revealed that augmentation of the enzyme activities in scurvy is due to enhanced enzyme contents. Lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase and Mg+2 ATPase also exhibited reduced activities in the intestine of vitamin-C-deficient animals. Observed alterations in the activities of intestinal enzymes in scurvy were restored to control levels upon feeding of vitamin C to scorbutic guinea pigs.

The main substrates for brain energy metabolism were measured in blood samples taken from the carotid artery and the internal jugular bulb of four children with glycogen storage disease caused by deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase. Multiple paired arterial and venous blood samples were analyzed for glucose, lactate, pyruvate, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, glycerol and O2, and the arteriovenous differences of the concentrations were calculated. In the first three patients the substrates were measured in two successive conditions with lower and higher glucose-intake, respectively, inducing reciprocally higher and lower concentrations of blood lactate. In the fourth patient medium chain triglycerides were administered simultaneously with the glucose-containing gastric drip feeding. Lactate appeared to be taken up significantly. It consumed, if completely oxidized, between 40-50% of the total O2 uptake in most cases. Only once in one patient the uptake of lactate switched to its release, when the blood lactate level decreased to normal. D-beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate arteriovenous (A-V) differences were small to negligible and these ketone bodies, therefore, did not contribute substantially to the brain's energy expenditure. Glycerol was not metabolized by the brain. Lactate thus appeared to be the second brain fuel next to glucose. It may protect the brain against fuel depletion in case of hypoglycemia.

Effect of Capparis spinosa (C. spinosa) and Acacia arabica (A. arabica) dry powder as plant molluscicide on some glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes on snail tissues, was investigated. Lactate debydrogenase (LDH), Pyruvate Kinase (PK), Hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) as important glycolytic enzymes, were markedly manipulated by both plants when measured one day and one week post-treatment. On the other hand glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6Pase), fructose 1.6 diphosphatase (FDpase), phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) as gluconeogenic enzymes were significantly affected by the moluscicidal plants. In addition, some other parameters as glycogen, glucose, total protein, 5-nucleotidase alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) as kreb's cycle enzyme were tested. As conclusion, LC25 and LC50 concentrations of C. spinosa and A. arabica might render B. alexandrina physiologically unsuitable for S. mansoni infection.

The present study was designed to analyze the effect of acute aluminium phosphide (ALP) (10 mg/kg body wt.) exposure on the glucose homeostasis in rat liver and brain. ALP has been implicated in the inhibition of cytochrome oxidase causing reduced oxygen uptake and decreased ATP synthesis eventually resulting in cellular energy crisis. A significant decrease in plasma glucose levels in the ALP treated rats has been observed. Therefore, decreased ATP levels coupled with hypoglycemia may further intensify the cellular energy deficits. In order to meet the sudden increase in the local energy demand, the brain tissue utilizes its stored energy in the form of glycogen breakdown as observed by a decrease in the glycogen levels in both liver and brain which was accompanied by a marked increase in the activity of glycogen phosphorylase in both the tissues. The glycolytic rate was found to be enhanced in brain tissue as evident by increased activities of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase enzymes, but decreased in liver of ALP treated rats. Lactate levels were increased in plasma and brain, but decreased in liver of ALP treated rats. Pyruvate levels increased in the plasma and liver, but no change was observed in the brain tissue. ALP did not cause any change in the gluconeogenic enzymes like glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphophatase in brain, but a significant increase was observed in the liver. Results of the study showed that ALP induced cellular energy deficit leads to compromised energy status of liver and brain coupled with substantial alterations in glucose homeostasis. However, the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased significantly in both the tissues.
