Acute renal failure was induced in rats by injection of a lethal dose of live Escherichia coli. Enzyme activities of the proximal tubule were studied histochemically at three, six, and 12 hours following E coli injection. The enzymes examined were alkaline phosphatase (A1Pase), acid phosphatase (AcPase), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). At three hours, ATPase activity was slightly decreased, while other enzymes showed no changes in activities at this time. At six hours, a slight increase in AcPase activity was seen in the pars recta. At this time, although A1Pase showed no change in activity, other enzymes revealed slight decreases in activities: G6Pase and SDH in the pars convoluta, ATPase in the pars convoluta and pars recta, and G6PDH in pars recta. At 12 hours after treatment, all enzymes showed decreases in activities; however, no necrotic tubule changes were detectable by light microscopy. Since sodium reabsorption in proximal tubules requires a sodium pump consisting of Na-K ATPase, early histochemical changes in ATPase activity in proximal tubule following bacteremia may be related to early changes in sodium reabsorption causing polyuria and to the subsequent development of acute renal failure.

Rats exposed to cosmetic kerosene mists (odourless kerosene), concentration of 75 and 300 mg/m3 for 14 days, underwent morphological and cytoenzymatic liver tests and biochemical tests of lipids composition in this organ. In addition, lipids concentration and activity of test--enzymes in blood serum were determined. The findings were: passive congestion, fine--droplet fatty degeneration in I zones of clusters and increased number of Browicz--Kupffer's phagocytes near liver triads. Those changes were accompanied by: decreased activity of succinic dehydrogenese (SDH), tetrazolic NADPH--reductase (NADPH-r.t.) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-P-ase) and increased activity of adenosine triphosphatase (Mg++-ATP-ase) and acid phosphatase (AcP). In blood serum medium increase of base phosphatase (AP), 5-nucleotidase (5-Nt) and leucyloaminepeptidase (LAP) and decreased activity of prothrombin (Pt) were found. In addition, it was demonstrated that liver steatosis was characterized by cumulation of free fatty acids, phospholipids and cholesterol esters with simultaneous decrease in triglycerides content in this organ. The obtained results indicate that changes induced by kerosene hydrocarbons in liver are focal and cumulate in I zones of liver clusters. The degree of lesion varies with the extent of exposure, and results from toxic effects of this preparation on hepatic cells lypoproteid membranes.

Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, Mg-activated adenosine triphosphatase and 5'nucleotidase were demonstrated in the rat liver using a cerium-based method. This method can be applied routinely and yields better results than the lead-based method. The tissue was postfixed in osmium tetroxide and potassium ferrocyanide which considerably enhances the membrane contrast in comparison with solely osmium tetroxide postfixation. This facilitates the precise localization of the reaction product.

Significant changes are observed in wet weight, microsomal protein content and enzymes of purified rough and smooth microsomes of liver during postnatal development and ageing of female Wistar rats. Protein content of total microsomes increases up to 15 days of age and remains steady during subsequent development, unlike that of rough and smooth microsomes which shows changes throughout the same period. Activities of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase increase during the period of maturation and decline during senescence. The decrease during senescence is at different rates in the two microsomal fractions. Microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase, but not adenosine triphosphatase, shows a similar increase during development and decrease during senescence.

The hypothesis that during the promotion phase of carcinogenesis a second rare event leads to a promoter-independent tumour cell was tested in an initiation-promotion-initiation type of experiment. Precancerous (island) cells induced in rat liver by 10 mg/kg N-nitrosodiethylamine given 24 h after partial hepatectomy were promoted by a protocol consisting of 2-acetylaminofluorene/partial hepatectomy. Administration of 25-100 mg/kg N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea served as second initiater. Microscopic foci of neoplastic cells were observed within the precancerous islands 66 days later; no such foci were noted in the appropriate controls. Deficiency of adenosine triphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase marker enzymes in the foci was more pronounced than in the surrounding island cells; glycogen storage was decreased and cytoplasmic basophilia slightly increased; gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase staining was negative or decreased with respect to the surrounding island cells, which exhibited a partially positive reaction. We conclude that a secondary change produced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea in precancerous island cells leads to focus-forming cells which grow, in the absence of promoter, into foci of neoplastic phenotype. Similar rare, initiation-like events might be involved in the process of tumour promotion in general.

The present study deals with the comparative efficacy of Hetrazan, levamisole and tetramisole on the enzyme activities of adult Setaria cervi worms. The drugs were administered orally to white rats, intraperitoneally infected with the bovine filariid, Setaria cervi. Biochemical assays revealed the decreased activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and adenosine triphosphatase in the drug-treated worms. Hetrazan was relatively more effective than tetramisole and levamisole. A possible role of these enzymes in the energy supply and survival of the worm has been briefly discussed.

Electron microscopy cytochemistry has been used to study the cytoplasmic location of liposomes and lipid vesicles following specific antibody-dependent phagocytosis. The vesicle compositions were 94-99 mol% 'fluid' lipid (egg phosphatidylcholine or dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine at 37 degrees C or 'solid' lipid (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine at 37 degrees C). In some cases, 4 mol% phosphatidylserine was included in the vesicle membrane so as to vary the surface charge density. These vesicles undergo specific antibody-dependent phagocytosis by RAW264 macrophages when the lipid membranes contain 1-2 mol% dinitrophenyl lipid hapten in the presence of rabbit anti-dinitrophenyl IgG antibody. Internalized lipid vesicles can be visualized with the electron microscope when ferritin is trapped in the internal aqueous compartments prior to internalization. The lipid vesicles were demonstrated to be internal to the macrophage plasma membranes by selectively staining the plasma membranes with Ruthenium red. The cytoplasmic location of vesicles and liposomes was studied by electron microscopic staining for activities of the following enzymes: (1) acid phosphatase; (2) inorganic trimetaphosphatase; (3) adenosine triphosphatase; and (4) glucose-6-phosphatase. The first two enzymatic activities were found in association with ferritin-containing vesicles after antibody-dependent phagocytosis, showing the formation of vesicle-containing phagolysosomes. Adenosine triphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase were primary not associated with the vesicles, suggesting a minimal association of vesicles with plasma membrane, Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum and perinuclear cisternae. Phagosome-lysosome fusion did not appear to depend on the type of target lipid vesicle or liposome, on the 'fluidity' of the target membrane, or the presence of phosphatidylserine in the target membrane.

Procedures to isolate plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum from a single homogenate of mouse liver are described. Fractions contain low levels of contaminating membranes as determined from morphometry and analyses of marker enzymes. The method requires only 2-3 gm of liver as starting material and yields approximately 0.7, 0.7, and 0.5 mg protein/gm liver, respectively, for endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane. Golgi apparatus fractions show high levels of galactosyltransferase activity and consist of cisternal stacks and associated secretory vesicles and tubules. Endoplasmic reticulum fractions are enriched in both glucose-6-phosphatase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH)-cytochrome c reductase and contain membrane vesicles with attached ribosomes. K+-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and (Na+K+) adenosine triphosphatase activity are enriched in the plasma membrane fraction. This fraction consists of membrane sheets, many with junctional complexes, and bile canaliculi that are representative of the total hepatocyte plasma membrane. The fractionation procedure is designed to utilize small amounts of tissue (e.g., with liver slices), to reduce the total time required for fractionation, and to permit comparisons of constituents of plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum prepared from the same starting homogenates.

Toxicological studies of a leachable stabilizer Di-n-butyltin dilaurate (DBTL) were undertaken. Effects of DBTL after 15 days oral exposure to rats were studied on brain and liver enzyme activities. A significant decrease in body weight gain of DBTL exposed rats were observed. No effect was observed in the activities of brain enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase, adenosine triphosphatase, acetylcholine esterase and monoamine oxidase. In liver, DBTL treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the activities of microsomal enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase, aminopyrine-N-demethylase, benzphetamine-N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase and also on cytochrome P-450 content, whereas no difference in the activities of mitochondrial enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase, Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase as well as in the activity of lysosomal enzyme acid phosphatase was observed. Duration of exposure dependent increase in pentabarbital induced sleeping time was also observed. DBTL treatment produced an induction in heme oxygenase activity whereas the activity of -aminolevulinic acid synthetase remained unaltered. The results demonstrate that DBTL significantly affects the biotransformation mechanism and heme metabolism of hepatocytes.

The functional capacity of the placenta of the guinea pig has been reduced in four different ways. It has been investigated whether changes in the trophoblast of the labyrinthine part of the placenta occurred which could be interpreted as a compensation mechanism for the reduction of the capacity. No significant decrease of the thickness of the maternofetal barrier could be measured nor did enlargement by microvilli of the apical and basal surface of the syncytium change significantly. Activities of the enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase showed a great variation, but no differences in activities could be demonstrated. Further, the number of cytotrophoblastic cells was widely spread and no significant difference could be observed, although sometimes large and apparently newly formed parts of lobulus were observed.
