Changes in carbohydrate metabolism were studied in midgut gland, muscle, and gill tissues of marine prawn Penaeus indicus exposed to a sublethal concentration (0.3 ppm) of phosphamidon. A significant decrease in glycogen and pyruvate and an increase in lactate content were observed in all phosphamidon-exposed prawn tissues after 96 hr. An increase in phosphorylase a and aldolase activity levels suggested the increased formation of triose sugars during phosphamidon toxicity. LDH activity was considerably decreased and an increment in lactate content was observed which indicates reduced mobilization of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was considerably increased, suggesting the enhanced oxidation of glucose in the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway. Krebs cycle enzymes such as NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase were found to be decreased, suggesting the impairment in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism due to the acute toxic impact of phosphamidon. Cytochrome-c oxidase and Mg2+ ATPase activity levels were also decreased considerably, suggesting impaired energy synthesis and breakdown during phosphamidon toxicity, as a result of reduced oxidation of glucose aerobically. The increase in acid and alkaline phosphatase activities indicates the enhanced breakdown of phosphate to release energy in view of inhibiton or impairment in the ATPase system during phosphamidon-induced stress. These results suggest that phosphamidon has a profound effect on the oxidative metabolism of prawn which results in the triggering of compensatory metabolic pathways for survivability.

In the present study, fetuses were hypophysectomized (hypox) in utero on d 72 to 74 of gestation with an electrical cauterizing needle. One to six successfully hypox fetuses were removed on d 110 of gestation from each of five gilts. Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples and semitendinosus muscles were obtained from the hypox fetuses and an equal number of control fetuses. Body weights of control fetuses (n = 15; mean +/- SE, 1,195 +/- 33 g) were similar to weights of hypox fetuses (n = 15; 1,179 +/- 67 g). Fat cell size in the middle subcutaneous layer of adipose tissue was increased in hypox fetuses (P less than .01) compared with control fetuses. The number of obvious fat cell clusters (outer layer) in lipid stained sections was reduced (P less than .01) by 50% in hypox fetuses. Histochemical reactions for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, esterase and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in middle layer cell clusters were considerably enhanced in sections from hypox fetuses compared with sections from controls. Quantitative analysis of percent light transmittance (Zeiss photometer) through LPL-stained cell clusters indicated an increase (P less than .001) in LPL staining in sections from hypox fetuses when compared with sections from control fetuses. Transverse muscle sections (cryostat) from hypox fetuses failed to show normal patterns (as seen in control muscles) of reactions for acid ATPase, malate dehydrogenase (NAD-dependent), NADH-TR and alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (without NAD). The number of muscle fibers that were stained for these enzymes was greatly reduced in hypox fetuses compared with control fetuses. The number of lipid positive fibers was also reduced in hypox fetuses compared with control fetuses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Fetuses were decapitated in one uterine horn in each of 14 sows at 45 d of gestation. Control (C) and decapitated (D) fetuses were removed by Caesarean section from three sows at 65 d of gestation (total of 10 D and 10 C fetuses), two sows at 85 d (six D and six C fetuses) and nine sows at 110 d (nine C and nine D fetuses) of gestation (Exp. 1). In Exp. 2, four to six fetuses were removed from each of two Ossabaw (O) gilts and three crossbred (C, Landrace X Yorkshire) gilts at 70 d of gestation, from three C and O gilts at 90 d of gestation and from three C and two O gilts at 110 d of gestation. In Exp. 1, one semitendinosis muscle was removed for histochemistry, whereas the contralateral muscle was removed and weighed. A medial portion of biceps femoris muscle was removed and used for histochemistry in Exp. 2. In both experiments, transverse sections (cryostat) of muscle were stained for lipid, glycogen (PAS) and the following enzymes: acid ATPase, NADH-TR, NADPH-TR, malate dehydrogenase (NAD- and NADP-dependent reactions; MDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (with and without NAD; alpha-GPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent; ICDH), esterase, lipoprotein lipase and lipase. In Exp. 1, body and muscle weights of the two groups were not significantly different (P greater than .05) at 65 d of gestation, whereas D fetuses were smaller and had lighter weight muscles (P less than .05) at 85 d of gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Morphologically intact structures have been isolated from anaerobically grown yeast cells which have many of the properties of yeast mitochondria. The structures are about 0.5 micro in diameter and contain malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, oligomycin-sensitive ATPase, and DNA of buoyant density 1.683 g/cc, characteristic of yeast mitochondria. The morphology of the structures is critically dependent on their lipid composition. When isolated from cells grown anaerobically in the presence of supplements of unsaturated fatty acid and ergosterol, their unsaturated fatty acid content is similar to that of mitochondria from aerobically grown cells. These lipid-complete structures consist pre-dominantly of double-membrane vesicles enclosing a dense matrix which contains a folded inner membrane system bordering electron-transparent regions which are somewhat different from the cristae of functional mitochondria. In contrast, the structures from cells grown without lipid supplements are much simpler in morphology; they have a dense granular matrix surrounded by a double membrane but have no obvious folded inner membrane system within the matrix. The lipid-depleted structures are very fragile and are only isolated in intact form from protoplasts that have been prefixed with glutaraldehyde

Treatment of the inner membrane matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX solubilized about 70% of the total protein and 90% or more of the following matrix activities: malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP). The Lubrol-insoluble fraction was enriched in cytochromes, phospholipids, and a Mg(++)-stimulated ATPase activity. Less than 2% of the total mitochondrial activity of monoamine oxidase, an outer membrane marker, or adenylate kinase, an intracristal space marker could be detected in this inner membrane fraction. Electron micrographs of negatively stained preparations showed vesicles (</=0.4 micro diameter) literally saturated on the periphery with the 90 A ATPase particles. These inner membrane vesicles, which appeared for the most part to be inverted with respect to the normal inner membrane configuration in intact mitochondria, retained the succinicoxidase portion of the electron-transport chain, an intact phosphorylation site II with a high affinity for ADP, and the capacity to accumulate Ca(++). A number of biochemical properties characteristic of intact mitochondria and the inner membrane matrix fraction, however, were either absent or markedly deficient in the inner membrane vesicles. These included stimulation of respiration by either ADP or 2,4-dinitrophenol, oligomycin-sensitive ADP-ATP exchange activity, atractyloside sensitivity of adenine nucleotide requiring reactions, and a stimulation of the Mg(++)-ATPase by 2,4-dinitrophenol.

Content of progesterone and cortisol was studied in blood plasma. Activities of organelle-specific enzymes were estimated in mitochondria (malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, H + ATPase) and in endoplasmic reticulum (inosine-5-diphosphatase) of liver, kidney tissues and blood serum of rats, which were born after the influence of embryotoxic effectors. Correlation was found in alterations of the patterns studied. The steroid hormonal systems appear to affect the stability of mitochondrial and microsomal membranes in liver and kidney tissues of experimental animals.

Fibers in cross sections of human and rat muscle were typed by using histochemical ATPase stains, and the results were compared with those of quantitative enzyme assays of fragments of the same fibers dissected from serial freeze-dried sections. Two enzymes previously used to assess the metabolic type were measured in each case: lactate dehydrogenase and either adenylokinase (human fibers) or malate dehydrogenase (rat fibers). With human fibers there was essentially complete agreement between ATPase staining and the metabolic enzyme assays in distinguishing types I and II fibers. The agreement was less consistent with regard to type IIA and IIB fibers. A number of ATPase type IIC fibers were identified in one human muscle, and were found to fall between ATPase types I and IIA on the basis of metabolic enzyme assay results. Rat-fiber ATPase types I, IIA, and IIB from the plantaris muscle were rather well segregated on a two-dimensional lactate dehydrogenase-malate dehydrogenase grid. In the rat soleus muscle, ATPase types I and IIA fibers were shifted to lower lactate dehydrogenase levels, with IIC fibers interposed between them.

The effects of zinc on the enzymes of hepatic mitochondria were investigated in rats that had been given zinc sulfate (10 mg Zn2+/100 g body wt) p.o. Administration of zinc caused a marked elevation of succinate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase and ATPase activities, whereas it did not cause significant changes in pyruvate carboxylase, malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities. The effect of zinc as a function of time was greatest on succinate dehydrogenase. Zinc also produced a marked elevation of ATP concentration in the hepatic cytosol and a corresponding increase in ATPase activity in the hepatic mitochondria. Zinc content of the inner membrane of mitochondria was raised significantly by administration of zinc. The removal of zinc by washing in 10 mM EDTA caused a significant decrease of the increased succinate dehydrogenase activity caused by administration of zinc, while it did not lower ATPase activity. The addition of zinc in amounts of 10-10(3) ng Zn2+ per mg protein produced a significant increase in succinate dehydrogenase activity in the inner membrane of mitochondria, whereas ATPase activity was elevated significantly at 10(3)-10(4) ng Zn2+ per mg protein, indicating that zinc activated succinate dehydrogenase more sensitively than ATPase. The present investigation suggests that zinc taken up by hepatic mitochondria stimulates the electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation and, as a result, increases the ATP concentration in the hepatic cytosol.

The half-life of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase and the relative rate constants of protein degradation for several fractions of rat liver have been measured by the double-isotope technique. It has been shown that the apparent turnover rates of some mitochondrial enzymes, far apart in size, such as carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, are not related to molecular weight or to size of subunits. In view of the possibility that mitochondrial proteins are degraded by different mechanisms, it was of interest to determine the half-life of a protein tightly bound to the inner membrane such as adenosine triphosphatase. The rate constants of degradation for rats fed a basal diet and injected at three-day intervals with isotopic leucine were: homogenate, kd = 0.195 days-1; mitochondria, kd = 0.135 days-1; cytosol, kd = 0.140 days-1; microsomes, kd = 0.28 days-1; ATPase, kd = 0.275 days-1. The rate constants of the cellular fractions of liver of rats fed a high protein diet did not change or showed a small increase, compared with those of animals fed the basal diet, while those from rats on the protein-free diet showed a decrease. The rate constant for adenosine triphosphatase showed an increase with high-protein and a decrease with protein-free diet. A procedure for the purification of ATPase from a single liver of a rat is described.

We studied the effects of running-training, heavy exercise and termination of training on the heart weight, the ratio heart to body weight and the cardiac muscle activities of actomyosin ATPase, citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, malate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase and beta-glucuronidase with adult male NMRI-mice. Stable hypertrophy (6-7%), estimated by the ratio heart or ventricle weight to body weight, was achieved by 28 exercises and it was dependent on the running speed (20 vs. 25 m X min-1). The withdrawal of training for 5-61 days did not permanently decrease the heart weight or the heart to body weight ratio to the level of sedentary controls. The activity of enzymes of energy metabolism or actomyosin ATPase were not affected by training, heavy exercise or terminated training. beta-glucuronidase activity slightly (20-25%) increased in the trained animals and remained at a higher level during the period of terminated training. The results suggest that the capacity for aerobic metabolism of normal mice heart is sufficient to meet the enhanced demand for ATP imposed by running-training and that the heart enlargement occurs in equal proportions with the enzymatic potential of the cardiac tissue.
