Alterations in the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase amylase, trypsin, pepsin, aminotripeptidase, glycylglycine dipeptidase and carnosinase due to exposure of Channa punctatus to a sublethal concentration (0.30 mg/L) of mercuric chloride by bath for 20 days have been studied in the different parts of the digestive system. Afall in the activities of the three phosphatases was recorded except for alkaline phosphatase which showed a slight elevation in activity in intestine and pyloric caeca. An increase in the activity of amylase and the two proteases was observed in all the portions of the digestive system. The three peptidases revealed a decrease in activity.

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.

An attempt has been made to show that the increase in enzyme activities in sera of pregnant women found with glucose-6-phosphate and adenosine 5'-monophosphate as substrates (described as glucose-6-phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase) was due to the increase in alkaline phosphatase. The three enzyme activities has pH optima and heat stability characteristics of alkaline phosphatase. The response to the action of inhibitors and activators was typical for alkaline phosphatase. There was an identical increase in all three enzyme activities during pregnancy. As a control similar investigations were made with liver and placental tissue extracts.

A survey of the hydrolytic activity of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) reveals that PP1, like phosphomonoesters, can serve as substrate in vitro. This pp1-phosphohydrolytic activity can be distinguished from PP1-phosphohydrolytic activities of inorganic pyrophosphatases (EC 3.6.1.1) and glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) by several criteria. Discrimination among these hydrolytic enzymes is possible by their dependence on variation of pH and of magnesium to PP1 ratios in the assay solutions. The true substrates and modifiers are not simply PP1 and magnesium, but the equilibrium species in mixtures of these two. The physiological significance of each of the three enzymes is not predictable from their differential efficiency as catalysts of PP1-hydrolysis in vitro.

56 human liver biopsy specimens with insignificant or no histological changes, but with abnormally strong canalicular alkaline phosphatase activity, were studied histochemically for other enzyme changes. In comparison with normal specimens, more extensive and increased canalicular activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase, and increase of canalicular leucine aminopeptidase, was found, while the sinusoidal activity of the latter enzyme was decreased. Staining for adenosine triphosphatase regularly desclosed the normal pattern of sinusoidal and canalicular activity. The lysosomal enzymes, acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase, stained more intensely than ordinarily, while the reactions for enzymes present in the cytosol (lactic dehydrogenase), in the mitochondria (succinic dehydrogenase, imonoamine oxidase) and in the endoplasmic reticulum (glucose-6-phosphatase) were normal.

When lead acetate was administered intraperitoneally to young rats at a dose of 20 mg/kg (five times a week for 6 weeks), their growth rate was retarded when compared with controls injected with sodium acetate. Only a small amount of the heavy metal reached the circulation and exerted limited effects on typical target organs. However, large, electron-dense inclusion bodies were found in the abdominal cavity. The in vivo intestinal absorption of glucose was reduced. When perfused at 40 mM concentration, the experimental animals had a mean absorption rate of 152.1 nmol/min . cm vs. 230.6 in the controls (p less than 0.01). Also, sodium and potassium transport was reduced. No effects were observed on amino acid transport and (Na+-K+)-ATPase. Mg++-ATPase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase, pyruvate kinase, succinic dehydrogenase, and tryptophan hydroxylase in the small intestinal mucosa and the kidney were unaltered. Renal alkaline phosphatase was decreased. These studies confirm the greater susceptibility of some active transport mechanisms of the small intestinal mucosa to lead toxicity, compared to those of the kidney.

The effect of exposure to a sublethal concentration (0.32 mg/L) of Dimecron for 20 days on the digestive system of a fresh water teleost fish, Channa punctatus has been studied. The most conspicuous pathological changes in the liver were vacuolation of the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, enlargement of nuclei, rupture of the cell membrane, liver cord disarray, damage of connective tissue, infiltration of phagocytes and necrosis. The mucosa of stomach was ruptured and the gastric glands were degenerated. The mucosal epithelium of intestine and pyloric caeca was also degenerated. The mucus secreting goblet cells showed hyperactivity and the intestinal lumen was filled with mucus. No conspicuous changes were noted in the rectum except for hypersecretion of mucus. Histochemical tests revealed that alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase were inhibited by Dimecron treatment. However, acid phosphatase showed slight increase in activity. Biochemical tests for enzyme activity confirmed the histochemical findings. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly inhibited in liver and intestine. There was a slight elevation in the activity of acid phosphatase in the liver and pyloric caeca of exposed fish, but this was not statistically significant. The glucose-6-phosphatase activity was significantly inhibited in the liver, intestine and pyloric caeca.

Wistar rats were exposed to atmospheres containing 0 (control) or 5000 ppm vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), 7 h/day, 5 days/week, for a period of 52 weeks. After 4, 13, 26 and 52 weeks each time 10 rats/sex/group were killed and subjected to extensive examinations. The present paper describes the morphological changes found in the liver. The major parenchymal changes comprised swelling and malformation of mitochondria, an increased amount of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, necrosis, nuclear and cellular polymorphism of hepatocytes, "foci of cellular alteration", neoplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas. A reduced glucose-6-phosphatase activity in hepatocytes and a strong sinusoidal activity of alkaline phosphatase were found within "foci of cellular alteration". The non-parenchymal alterations included focal dilatation of sinusoids, focal proliferation of atypical sinusoidal cells and multicentric angiosarcomas. The effects of VCM on the hepatic parenchyma seemed to precede those on the hepatic stroma.

To evaluate some of the early effects of methymercury chloride (MMC) male rats were given 10, 20 or 30 mg MMC/kg intraperitoneally. Urine was analysed for vanilmandelic acid (VMA), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and creatinine, blood for glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-P) and glucose, serum for glutamate-oxalate-transaminase (GOT) and urea. Except for LAP and AP excretion there is no effect of MMC on the parameters investigated. However, the effects on these 2 renal enzymes are to variable to permit their use as a test for MMC toxicity.

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.
