1. The ratio of the combined activities of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) and glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2) to the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) changed in favour of the glycolytic enzymes during pregnancy and at peak lactation. 2. There were no important changes in the ratio of the activity of phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) to that of fructose diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11). 3. The ratio of the activity of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) to the combined activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EE 4.1.1.32) and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) changed in favour of the glycolytic enzyme during pregnancy and at peak lactation, but changed in favour of the gluconeogenic enzymes immediately after parturition. 4. These changes are considered in relation to the changes in food intake and hormonal status that occur during pregnancy and lactation.

Hepatocytes and Kupffer cells were separated from rat liver after prelabeling the Kupffer cells with colloidal iron and perfusion of the liver with digestive enzymes. The activity of several enzymes from Kupffer cells and hepatocytes was compared to validate this method of cell separation. The ratios of hepatocyte to Kupffer cell specific activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, adenylate cyclase, and acid phosphatase were 20, 0.39, 0.18, and 0.078, respectively. Adenylate cyclases from hepatocytes and Kupffer cells were stimulated by fluoride ion, GTP, and catecholamines. Hepatocyte adenylate cyclase was also stimulated by glucagon, secretin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and by prostaglandin E1, whereas, the Kupffer cell enzyme was completely insensitive to these hormones. The stimulation of hepatocyte adenylate cyclase by combinations of glucagon plus secretin, or glucagon plus vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, were equivalent to the sum of the individual stimulations. This suggests that the hepatocyte has specific receptors for glucagon and for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and secretin. Prostaglandin E1 stimulation of hepatocyte adenylate cyclase was not additive to the stimulation caused by polypeptide hormones or catecholamines, nor did prostaglandin E1 decrease stimulation caused by these hormones. Although prostaglandin-sensitive adenylate cyclase was recovered with hepatocytes, 40 to 50% of the total liver prostaglandin-sensitive activity was recovered in a fraction of cell debris mixed with small cells which did not phagocytize colloidal iron.

Three groups of 6 male chicks each were fed a commercial diet and were given drinking water which contained either 0, 150 or 300 mug. of mercury/ml. as mercuric chloride from hatching to 3 weeks of age. The chicks were killed, the livers were removed and weighed, and the activities of selected enzymes were measured in the 800 X gav supernatant fractions of the liver homogenates. Liver weights were depressed from control values in chicks receiving 300 p.p.m. mercury but not in chicks receiving 150 p.p.m. Fatty acid synthetase specific activity was depressed by both levels of added mercury, but microsomal fatty acid elongation was depressed only by 300 p.p.m. of mercury. Both levels of added mercury stimulated acid phosphatase specific activity. The speecific activities of cytochrome c oxidase, glucose-6-phosphatase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were unaffected by added mercury. The data support the hypothesis that mercury administration does not result in generalized hepatotoxicity.

Pretreatment of male rats with Aroclor 1254 at a dose of 25 mg/kg i.p. for 6 days resulted in potentiation of the hepatotoxicity of inhaled carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as evidenced by a decrease in liver glucose-6-phosphatase and elevations of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), isocitrate dehydrogenase, and sorbitol dehydrogenase. Aroclor 1254 alone did not demonstrate hepatotoxicity. Aroclor 1254 administration resulted in large increases in cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome P-450 (448) AND P-Nitroanisole demethylation. Subsequent exposure to CCl4 vapor resulted in over 70% decreases in the latter two parameters. The potentiation was dose-dependent with a dose of 5 mg/kg or higher being effective. Aroclor 1260 administration gave results similar to those of Aroclor 1254, but Aroclor 1221 enhanced CCl4 toxicity to a lesser extent.

Normal and alloxan-diabetic rats were fed ground Purina Laboratory Chow with or without 500 ppm of Aroclor 1254 (AR) ad lib for 2 weeks. In both normal and diabetic rats, AR administration decreased food consumption, weight gain and blood glucose concentration, and increased liver weight, liver:body weight ratio, total liver lipid, liver protein and malic enzyme (ME) activity. In the normal rat, AR increased the concentrations of acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate in blood, but in the diabetic rat the concentrations were markedly reduced. AR administration decreased the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPck) in normal liver and the activities of pyruvate carboxylase (PC), PEPck and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) in diabetic liver.

The effect of gamma irradiation on alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate has been studied in three anatomically different regions of the small intestine at a surface dose of 400 R. Both the enzymatic activities were shown to be enhanced in duodenum, jejunum and ileum 24 hours after irradiation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase on day 3 tendeed to be low as compared to day 1 post irradiation, but glucose-6-phosphatase continued to rise even after day 3. Maximum rise of glucose-6-phosphatase was observed in the jejunum. On day 9, alkaline phosphatase was diminished below the controls in the whole of intestine, but appeared to be normal on day 10. Glucose-6-phosphatase in duodenum and jejunum on the other hand was comparable to that of control mice; but in ileum, the activity of this enzyme was below the normal values. Physiological significances of these enzymes in intestine has been discussed.

Plasma membranes were isolated from rat liver mainly under isotonic conditions. As marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase were used. The yield of plasma membrane was 0.6-0.9 mg protein per g wet weight of liver. The recovery of 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity was 18 and 48% of the total activity of the whole-liver homogenate, respectively. Judged from the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase in the plasma membrane, and from the electron microscopic observation of it, the contamination by microsomes and mitochondria was very low. A further homogenization of the plasma membrane yielded two fractions, the light and heavy fractions, in a discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. The light fraction showed higher specific activities of 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, (Na+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase, whereas the heavy one showed a higher specific activity of adenylate cyclase. Ligation of the bile duct for 48 h decreased the specific activities of (Na2+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in the light fraction, whereas it had no significant influence on the activities of these enzymes in the heavy fraction. The specific activity of alkaline phosphate was elevated in both fractions by the obstruction of the bile flow. Electron microscopy on sections of the plasma membrane subfractions showed that the light fraction consisted of vesicles of various sizes and that the heavy fractions contained membrane sheets and paired membrane strips connected by junctional complexes, as well as vesicles. The origin of these two fractions is discussed and it is suggested that the light fraction was derived from the bile front of the liver cell surface and the heavy one contained the blood front and the lateral surface of it.

The effect of complete subphrenic vagotomy and simultaneous pyloromyotomy on the morphological state and the activities of some intracellular enzymes of the albino rat was studied histochemically. Within the first weeks after vagotomy, the pancreatic acini were found to diminish in size, and the beta-cells in the islets of Langerhans became oedematous. In the acini, the activities of succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, AS naphthol acetate esterase, and glucose-6-phosphatase were observed to decline, but the reactions for beta-glucuronidase and aryl sulphatase showed intensifications and polymorphic behaviour both in acinar and in islet cells. The latter also and particularly the beta-cells simultaneously revealed enhanced activities of succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, beta-glucuronidase, and aryl sulphatase, and an entire disappearance of the reaction for glucose-6-phosphatase. The alpha-cells increased their AS naphthol acetate esterase activity. After 5 weeks following vagotomy, morphological and enzymatic changes in the acini and islets were negligible, and after 5 and 9 months no differences were noted between the vagotomized rats and the control animals.

This study attempted to determine whether the quantity and the quality of protein intake could influence the activity of some enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, adult rats were fed for 23 days a diet containing different levels (10 to 70%) and qualities (casein, wheat gluten, and egg yolk) of protein. Variations in liver enzyme activities of pyruvate kinase (PK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), malic enzyme (ME), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) were studied. Also the changes in enzyme activities were compared with changes in food intake and body weight gain. Increasing the protein level produced a progressive fall in the activities of ME and PK. The decrease in PK activity was greater when the biological value of the dietary proteins was higher (P less than 0.05). On the other hand, the activities of G6PDH and PEPCK increased as the protein level increased. The activity of G6Pase was unchanged. The relationship between the two opposing enzyme activities PK and PEPCK, in relation to protein intake, shows that for each protein studied, the equilibrium between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis was obtained at different protein intakes (1.5, 1.9, and 2.2 g of protein/day/100 g of body weight, respectively, for egg yolk, casein, and wheat gluten) regardless of daily consumption of energy as carbohydrate, which are similar (8 to 9 kcal/day/100 g of body weight). This equilibrium also corresponded to the maximum weight gain (5 g) of the experimental animals. In conclusion, the experimental method used permits a simultaneous assessment of the protein and carbohydrate requirements ensuring the best weight gain in young adult rats.

The distribution of succinic dehydrogenase, (see article), glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase, alkaline and acid phosphatases and glucose-6-phosphatase was studied by means of the incubation of whole cestodes. Succinic dehydrogenase, NAD-diaphorase and glucose-6-phosphatdehydrogenase are connected in general with the fixating apparatus of the scolex and genital organs; phosphatases -- with the integument tissues, excretory system and calcareous corpuscles. The results obtained are in complete agreement with the available data on the distribution of the enzymes studied. The incubation method of whole cestodes can be useful for field works.
