A correlation is shown to exist between malate dehydrogenase (MDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (glycerol-3-PDH activity values, lactate/pyruvate and malate/oxaloacetate coefficients, MDH and LDH isozyme spectra and kinetic properties of LDH isozymes in soluble fractions of cytoplasm from intact rabbit m. soleus (red), m. gastrocnemius (mixed) and m. quadratus lumborum (white). In denervated soleus and gastrocnemius the cytoplasmic MDH/LDH, mitochondrial MDH/LDH, MDH mitochondrial/MDH cytoplasmic activity ratios, concentrations of substrates and isozyme spectra of MDH and LDH tend to equalize. The obtained results indicate the importance of isozyme composition and total activity ratios of the dehydrogenases for regulation of pyruvate and NADH metabolic pathways.

The content of the Krebs cycle substrates and activity of dehydrogenases corresponding to them were studied in the brain and myocardium tissues of the non-linear male rats adapted to acute hypoxia under conditions of the altered gas medium. The content of malate and succinic acid was studied in the liver and skeletal muscles only. In the brain the total activity of malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37, 1.1.1.39) alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KDH, EC 1.2.4.2) pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH, EC 1.2.4.1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH, EC 1.1.1.41-42) is shown to be decreased and kept to be lowered in all the periods of the study. No essential shifts in the activity of these dehydrogenases were found in the myocardium. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1) in both tissues lowers 48 h after the effect of the mentioned factors. Simultaneously the greatest changes in the level of the substrates were observed in the myocardium, in the brain they were less developed. In the liver the content of malate increases without pronounced changes in the amount of succinic acid and in the skeletal muscles the level of malate and succinic acid lowers.

The activity of enzymes found in the plasma, malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and enzymes from erythrocytes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and catalase, was studied in rats contaminated by crude oil. Crude oil (tube fed) contamination caused a significant increase in MDH and LDH activity 96 hr after contamination while a decrease in activity was noted in 6-6-PDH and catalase. An additional contamination (1 week after the first contamination), measured 96 hr after contamination, caused a relative decrease in MDH and LDH activity while there was a contrasting relative increase in G-6-PDH and catalase activity. After a recovery period of 3 weeks the only significant change was an increase in catalase activity.

Eight enzymes, e.g. lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, fructose-diphosphate aldolase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase were estimated quantitatively in the rat lens from 37 to 1,211 days of age, by spectrophotometric methods. The activity was expressed as mU/g LWW. All enzymes measured showed declining activities, but LDH, ALD, SDH, G-6-PDH, HK and PFK gave a significant decrease during ageing when plotted semi-logarithmically from 37 to 1,211 days. SDH and G-6-PDH showed a statistically significant difference between the enzymes from the male and the female lenses. The female lens always had a lower activity than the male lens. Of all enzymes the specific activity, expressed as mU/l mg protein, was calculated. This specific activity appeared to be rather constant during ageing, except for ALD. In the female lenses, the specific activity of 7 enzymes was lower than in the male lenses. For ALD the specific activity decreased significantly in the male lens from 5.32 at 37 days to 0.88 at 1,211 days. In the female lens this significant decrease was from 4.97 to 0.81.

The enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), hexokinase (HK), adenylate kinase (AK), fructokinase (FK), mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were chosen to study the variation between isolates, cercariae and adults, individuals, and sexes of Schistosoma mansoni and S. rodhaini, using horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The method described allows combinations of six of the eight enzymes to be scored in the homogenate from one adult worm. In adult S. mansoni one phenotype of the eight enzymes was observed in all isolates. In addition, the enzyme PGI showed polymorphism in the isolates from Tala, Kenya and Uganda. PGM in the isolates from Tala, Kenya and South Africa showed polymorphism. The cercarial phenotype differs from the adult phenotype in G-6-PDH, where the cercarial enzyme mobility is slower than that in the adult worm. The low amount of intrastrain variation observed in this species is explained by the limited amount of material used to establish the laboratory stocks, whereas the genetic similarity between geographically widely separated stocks does suggest that only limited geographical variation is likely to occur in S. mansoni. It is suggested that the gene controlling the PGI polymorphism is located on the sex chromosomes of S. mansoni. Mobility differences were observed between S. mansoni and S. rodhaini in the enzyme PGI and PGM, and these characteristics might be useful for a quick identification of schistosome cercariae emerging from Biomphalaria sp. in Africa.U

Hexokinase (HK), glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity in the red and white skeletal muscles, aorta, myocardium and spleen of experimental animals was determined to study the late metabolic results 1 year after surgery. Comparatively to sham-operated and intact rats a remarkable increase in the activity of all the spleen enzymes of thymectomized rats seems to be caused by the cell content change of this organ. In the rest tissues examined an increase HK activity, marked to a different degree, was seen, whereas G-6-PDH and MDH activity remained unchanged.

Activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and malate dehydrogenase were measured in the blood of 38 patients with acute nonepidemic parotitis and the status of glutathione antioxidant system assessed. The predominance of free-radical processes in the mechanisms of impairment of the parotid gland was confirmed. Increased level of lipid peroxidation products and decompensation of glutathione antioxidant system were found to be due to incompetence of the malate shuttle and low activity of G-6-PDH. A conclusion is made about the necessity of revising current approaches to prevention and therapy of acute nonepidemic parotitis.

Changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (C), and peroxidase (P) blood activity, as well as the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and peroxide resistance of erythrocytes (PRE) have been studied in 45 gastroenterologic patients under different types of general anesthesia. A significant increase in G-6-PDH, SOD, K, P activity and an increase in ICDH and MDH activity, as well as a drop in PRE which tends to return to baseline postoperatively have been established during general anesthesia. SOD expressed the greatest intergroup differences. A fragment of mechanism of energy transfer in the erythrocyte aimed at hemoglobin oxygenation and tissue hypoxia compensation has been suggested.

1. All enzymes tested: malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-P-GDH)_behaved rhythmically during a period of continuous white light interrupted by darkness. All showed approximately the same frequency of 12-15 h. 2. The enzymes of the tricarboxylic-acid cycle (MDH and GDH) are in phase with each other but are out of phase with those of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway (G-6-PDH and 6-P-GDH) which are in turn in phase with each other. 3. GDH appears to be activated by the addition of Hoagland's solution which leads to an overt rhythm 24 h prior to darkness. The rhythms of MDH, G-6-PDH and 6-P-GDH cannot be demonstrated prior to the onset of darkness due to an inhibition of the MDH and pentose-phosphate cycle enzymes by light. 4. The control of the frequency and phase of these rhythms are discussed in relation to a positive correlation of the rhythms in enzyme activity presented here and the rhythms of the pyridine nucleotides presented elsewhere.

In order to study the survival mechanisms to drought stress for fruit body of Auricularia auricula, soluble carbohydrates and respiratory enzymes were investigated. Fruit bodies were exposed to sunlight and were naturally dehydrated. Samples were taken at different levels of water loss (0%, 10%, 30%, 50% and 70%) to measure the content of soluble sugars and polysaccharides. The activities of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), combined glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH), were also determined. The results showed that with the increase in water loss, soluble sugars and MDH activity declined, whereas the activities of G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH increased. Soluble polysaccharides content and PGI activity decreased with water loss up to 30% and increased afterwards. These results suggested that the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), as demonstrated by activities of G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH, could be one of the mechanisms for survival during drought stress in the fruit body of A. auricula. Moreover, soluble polysaccharides may play a part in protecting the fruit body in further drought stress.
