The effect of dl-norgestrel (13 beta-ethyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone, Wy 3707) on the biochemical makeup of rabbit ovary and uterus was investigated. 20 adult, healthy virgin female rabbits either received olive oil only or olive oil plus 12 mcg of norgestrel/rabbit/day for 30 days. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the last treatment. In the ovary protein concentration and activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) remained unaffected. However, in the uterus the level of protein was significantly elevated (p less than .01), the activities of G6PD and acid phosphatase were enhanced (p less than .05), and those of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and alkaline phosphatase were diminished (p less than .05). LDH and MDH in the uterus remained unchanged. The effect of norgestrel at this antiovulatory dose in rabbits consisted of a disturbance in the biochemical constituents of the uterus leading to a lowering of the ATPase activity and an impairment of the anaerobic mechanism of the organ.

A series of Northern blot hybridization experiments using probes derived from the rat gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase cDNA and the human ATP1AL1 gene revealed the presence of a 4.3-kilobase mRNA in colon that seemed likely to encode the distal colon H+,K(+)-ATPase, the enzyme responsible for K+ absorption in mammalian colon. A rat colon library was then screened using a probe from the ATP1AL1 gene, and cDNAs containing the entire coding sequence of a new P-type ATPase were isolated and characterized. The deduced polypeptide is 1036 amino acids in length and has an Mr of 114,842. The protein exhibits 63% amino acid identity to the gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit and 63% identity to the three Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit isoforms, consistent with the possibility that it is a K(+)-transporting ATPase. Northern blot analyses show that the 4.3-kilobase mRNA is expressed at high levels in distal colon; at much lower levels in proximal colon, kidney, and uterus; and at trace levels in heart and forestomach. The high mRNA levels in distal colon and the similarity of the colon pump to both gastric H+,K(+)- and Na+,K(+)-ATPases suggest that it is the distal colon H+,K(+)-ATPase. Furthermore, expression of its mRNA in kidney raises the possibility that the enzyme also corresponds to the H+,K(+)-ATPase that seems to play a role in K+ absorption and H+ secretion in the distal nephron.

1. The effect of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase inhibitor ouabain (10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M), and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase inhibitors vanadate (6 x 10(-6)-6 x 10(-4) M), oxytocin (2 x 10(-9)-4 x 10(-8) M, and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha, 10(-7)-6 x 10(-6) M) were assayed on rat uterus incubated in Ca-free medium. 2. Vanadate, oxytocin and PGF2 alpha, but not ouabain, induced contractions in a dose-dependent way (ED50: 7.5 +/- 0.03 x 10(-5) M; 6.5 +/- 0.064 x 10(-9) M and 3.8 +/- 0.085 x 10(-7) M). 3. Vanadate (3 x 10(-4) M) and oxytocin (OT, 10 mU/ml = 2 x 10(-8) M)-induced tonic contraction were not modified by nifedipine (10(-10)-10(-6) M), monensin (10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M) or amiloride (10(-5)-10(-3) M). 4. The intracellular calcium release inhibitors TMB-8 (10(-6)-10(-4) M) and dantrolene (3 x 10(-6)-10(-4) M), and the prostaglandin release inhibitor indomethacin (3 x 10(-8)-6 x 10(-5) M) relaxed the vanadate and OT-induced tonic contractions. 5. The calmodulin inhibitors trifluoperazine (3 x 10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M), bepridil (10(-8)-3 x 10(-4) M), calmidazolium (10(-7)-10(-4) M) and W-7 (10(-7)-10(-5) M) also relaxed the vanadate and OT-induced tonic contractions. 6. Our results suggest that oxytocin and vanadate-induced contractions on rat uterus in Ca-free medium could be produced by release of prostaglandins and intracellular calcium, and mediated by calmodulin.

1. The purpose of this present research was to explore the possible roles of ATP-diphosphohydrolase (apyrase) in two tissues with high energetic demands during cell proliferation and differentiation. 2. Changes in apyrase activities during the pregnancy lactation cycle were examined in the rat uterus and mammary gland. 3. A significant decrease in apyrase activity (ATPase-ADPase) was observed in the pregnant uterus; this observation correlates with a minor inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. 4. In mammary gland, the enzyme activity increases during lactation in parallel with an increase in blood supply, synthesis of glycoproteins and cell proliferation. 5. Apyrase activity did not change during the estrous cycle. Estradiol administration to rats slightly increased (20%) both ATPase-ADPase activities. 6. The probable function of apyrase is finally discussed, based on its substrate specificity and subcellular localization.

At the University Women's Clinic in Kiel, the YAG contact laser has been used as a cutting instrument in pelviscopic operations since 1987. When the laser cuts, it produces only a scant amount of mechanical trauma. The determining factor is the amount of thermal damage produced along the wound margins and in direct neighboring tissue. The extent of the tissue change seen in the uterus and liver parenchyma of rats and the striated muscle of rabbits after application of the YAG contact laser was demonstrated using various staining techniques and stains. Liver parenchyma proved to be the most sensitive to thermal damage. In the uterine horn, enzyme-histochemical ATPase and alkaline phosphatase demonstrations showed a significantly wider zone of thermal damage after laser incision than did hematoxylin-eosin and Goldner staining techniques. A good understanding of the extent of thermal damage is essential for atraumatic pelviscopic operations using the YAG contact laser and also for the preventing of complications.

Smooth muscle and several non-muscle tissues contain mRNA for an alternative splice of the mRNA for the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca,Mg-ATPase. Based on amino acid composition deduced from cDNA sequences the cardiac isoform (Ic) is 110 kDa while the smooth muscle and the non-muscle isoform (Is) is 115 kDa. This prediction in their molecular masses was tested at the protein level in rabbit stomach, aorta, uterus and vas deferens smooth muscles; stomach mucosa, brain, liver, kidney and heart. The major species of the acylphosphates formed in the presence of Ca2+ and electrophoresed in acid SDS-acrylamide gels were 5 kDa smaller for the heart (Ic) than those for all the other tissues (Is). The size difference was also confirmed in Western blots using a monoclonal antibody which binds to both Is and Ic. Thus consistent with the mRNA splices for the internal Ca2+ pumps previously reported to be present in these tissues, rabbit heart expresses predominantly the Ca2+ pump protein Ic and the various smooth muscle, mucosa, brain, liver and kidney express mainly the isoform Is.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding vitamin D3(D3) metabolites on BW of hen, weight of uterus, plasma Ca, jejunal and uterine adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and carbonic anhydrase. At 416 days of age each of 7 groups of laying hens was fed the basal ration supplemented with one of 7 concentrations (micrograms per kg) of D3 or its metabolites as treatments: 0 micrograms of D3; 27.5 micrograms of D3; 3, 5, or 7 micrograms of 1,25(OH)2D3; 5 micrograms of 24,25(OH)2D3; and 5 micrograms of 24,25(OH)2D3 plus 5 micrograms of 1,25(OH)2D3. Treatment effects were compared at various periods after the start of the study. Hens fed the unsupplemented ration had lower (P less than .05) values for all traits than hens fed the D3-supplemented ration by 162 days after the start of treatment. In a comparison of all dietary treatments except the one involving 0 micrograms D3, from 154 to 161 days after the start of the experiment, treatment effects were significant (P less than or equal to .05) for BW, uterine ATPase, and carbonic anhydrase; hens fed 5 micrograms of 24,25(OH)2D3 per kg of ration ranked the lowest of all treatment groups for these traits. Hens fed 27.5 micrograms of D3 and those fed 5 micrograms of 1,25(OH)2D3 per kg of ration did not differ (P greater than .05) for any traits studied. The results suggest that 5 micrograms of 1,25(OH)2D3 per kg of ration can replace 27.5 micrograms of D3 per kg of ration but that 5 micrograms of 24,25(OH)2D3 per kg of ration tends to have a negative effect on physiological systems of the hen.

The capillary vessels of rats uterus were examined. The animals who received 0.2% solution were examined 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 days after the last injection. As a marker for capillary vessels the histochemical method for finding the Mg++ adenosine triphosphatase was used. The studies have found prominent qualitative and quantitative changes (activity of enzyme, length and diameter of capillaries) not less than for two months after the last injection of the solution. Particularly prominent changes were found in endometrium between 10-20 days of the restorative period.

With immunocytochemistry, we have determined distribution of sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) and of three isoenzymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and have shown absence of the chloride channel, Band 3 protein, in the genital tract of female rodents. Staining for Na+,K+-ATPase was strongest in the ampullary oviduct and uterine glands in the mouse. In the mouse and rat ovary, immunostaining evidenced CA I, II, and III in theca interna cells where the enzyme could affect the pH of follicular fluid. The zona pellucida of the ovary and cytoplasmic foci in follicular granulosa cells stained for content of only CA I in mouse ovary, suggesting synthesis of a zona pellucida component by granulosa cells. CA II in mouse oviductal epithelium increased from the negative infundibulum to the variably positive ampulla and isthmus to the uniformly positive interstitial segment. The content of CA III varied inversely to that of CA II. The prevalence of CA II-positive cells apparently corresponded with that of nonciliated cells, whereas abundance of CA III-positive cells concurred with that of ciliated cells in regions of the mouse oviduct. The rat oviduct lacked CA II but, like that of the mouse, showed CA III in the proximal region. The staining for CA II in surface epithelium exceeded the reactivity in glandular epithelium in the mouse uterus, except during estrus. In contrast, rat uterus evidenced CA II in glandular but not surface epithelium. These results testify to possible significance of various ion transport mechanisms for biologic activities of diverse cells in the female genital tract.

The localization of some enzyme in adult worms of Clonorchis sinensis was studied by histochemical method in this paper. Acid phosphatase was detected mainly in digestive duct, subtegument and the walls of testis, uterus and ovary; acetylcholinesterase was found in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx; and ATPase was found to exist in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx and muscle layer in the subtegument. The eggs of C. sinensis possessed the above three enzymes.
