In porcine interareolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that most of the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Only G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH activities increased within the uterine epithelium and nonspecific esterase activity within uterine as well as chorionic epithelia during the 2nd half of pregnancy. Within chorionic and uterine epithelia, hydrolases but not dehydrogenases demonstrated a higher activity at the bases of chorionic villi as compared to the apices and flanks of the latter. The action and influence of the demonstrated enzymes on metabolism, energy transfer, secretory, and resorptive activities of chorionic and uterine epithelia are discussed.

The activities of 13 liver and 6 brain enzymes were studied in 7-12 week old CD2F1 male mice that had been fed ad libitum and standardized either to 12 hours of light (0600-1800) alternating with 12 hours of darkness (1800-0600) (LD12:12); or to a reversed light-dark cycle (darkness 0600-1800; light 1800-0600) (DL12:12). Three separate studies were performed on two different days; in each experiment, subgroups of 14 animals were sacrificed at 3-hour intervals. Livers were assayed for: isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, glyoxylate reductase, L-alanine aminotransferase, glutamate oxalacetate transaminase, pyruvate decarboxylase, fructose-1-phosphate aldolase, fructose diphosphate aldolase, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase, and fatty acid synthetase. Brains were assayed for phosphoglucose isomerase, adenosine triphosphatase, creatine phosphokinase, pyruvate kinase, adenylate kinase, and malate dehydrogenase. All 19 enzymes demonstrated a prominent circadian rhythm in at least one experiment. Moreover, each rhythmic variable showed a statistically significant fit to a 24-hour cosine (sine) curve by the method of least squares. In general, peak activities of the liver enzymes analyzed were associated with the beginning of the dark cycle and initiation of the animal's activity, while the group of brain enzymes had peak activities which occurred at the beginning of the animals' rest span and were near the beginning of the light cycle. The phasing of each of the rhythms could be reversed within a two-week span after reversing the environmental light-dark cycle 180 degrees.

Changes in oxidative metabolism were studied in hepatopancreas, muscle, and hemolymph of the edible crab Scylla serrata, exposed to a sublethal concentration (2.5 ppm) of cadmium chloride. A significant decrease in glycogen, total carbohydrates, and pyruvate and an increase in lactate levels in hepatopancreas and muscle were observed. Hemolymph sugar levels were increased in experimental crabs. An increase in phosphorylase suggested increased glycogenolysis during cadmium toxicity. The decrease in lactate dehydrogenase activity and the increase in lactate content indicated reduced mobilization of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle. Krebs cycle enzymes such as succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase were found to be decreased, suggesting impairment of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism as a consequence of cadmium toxicity. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was increased, suggesting enhanced oxidation of glucose by the HMP pathway. Cytochrome-c oxidase and Mg2+ ATPase activity levels decreased, indicating impaired energy synthesis during cadmium stress. Acid and alkaline phosphatase activities increased, suggesting enhanced breakdown of phosphates to release energy in view of impaired ATPase system during cadmium exposure. A significant decrease in protein and free amino acid and an increase in ammonia, urea, and glutamine levels were observed in the tissues during exposure. An increase in protease, alanine aminotransaminase, and aspartate aminotransaminase suggested increased proteolysis and transamination of amino acids. The increase in glutamate dehydrogenase, AMP deaminase, and adenosine deaminase indicated increased ammonia production. The increased arginase and glutamine synthetase suggested the detoxification or mobilization of ammonia toward the production of urea and glutamine. These results suggest that cadmium affects oxidative metabolism and induces hyperammonemia, and crabs switch over their metabolic profiles toward compensatory mechanisms for the survivability in cadmium-polluted habitats.

Phosphate depletion (PD) in vivo causes a sundry of abnormalities in pancreatic islets including a rise in cytosolic calcium, low ATP content, reduced Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity, and impaired insulin secretion in response to glucose or potassium. L-Leucine is a strong secretagogue that triggers insulin secretion by deamination to alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) and the subsequent metabolism of the latter to ATP and by the activation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), which acts on glutamate to generate alpha-ketoglutarate, the metabolism of which results in ATP production. The generation of ATP triggers events that lead to insulin secretion. It is not known whether PD impairs leucine-induced insulin secretion, and the cellular derangements that are involved in such an abnormality are not defined. These issues were studied in PD rats and in pair-weighed normal animals as controls. D-Leucine uptake by islets from PD rats is normal, but both leucine- and KIC-induced insulin secretions are impaired and the activity of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which facilitates the metabolism of KIC, is reduced. Both leucine and 2-aminobicyclo (2-2-1) haptene failed to stimulate GLDH and to augment the generation of alpha-ketoglutarate in the islets of PD rats. Also, the concentration of basal alpha-ketoglutarate was significantly higher in the islets of PD rats, suggesting that its metabolism is impaired. In addition, the activity of glutaminase is significantly reduced, an abnormality that would result in decreased production of glutamate, the substrate for GLDH. The data show that PD impairs leucine-induced insulin secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The maximal rates (Vmax) of some enzyme activities related to synaptosomal energy metabolism were studied in different types of synaptosomes from cerebellar cortex of Macaca Fascicularis (Cynomolgus monkey). Different synaptosomal populations, namely "large" and "small" synaptosomes, were isolated from the anterior lobule of the cerebellar cortex of monkeys treated p.o. with dihydroergocriptine at the dose of 12 mg/kg/day before and during the induction of a Parkinson's-like syndrome by MPTP administration (i.v., 0.3 mg/kg/day for 5 days). The enzymes were chosen according to their regulatory role and as markers of the following metabolic pathways: (a) glycolysis ((hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase), (b) Krebs' (TCA) cycle (citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase), (c) amino acid, glutamate metabolism (glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate-pyruvate- and glutamate-oxaloacetate-transaminases), (d) acetylcholine catabolism (acetylcholinesterase) and (e) ATPases, i.e. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATP synthetase, Mg(2+)-ATPase, Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase Low and High affinity for Ca2+. The MPTP administration modified the activities of citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase, Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, acetylcholinesterase and glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase only on selected types of synaptosomes. Pharmacological treatment by dihydroergocriptine was able to recovery at the steady-state levels the activities of these enzymes, thus demonstrating a partial protective effect on these biochemical parameters.

We tested the hypothesis that nutritional state affects seawater acclimation by transferring either fed or food-deprived (2 weeks) male tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) from fresh water to full-strength sea water. Food-deprivation resulted in a significant increase in plasma concentrations of Na+, Cl-, cortisol, glucose, total amino acid, glutamate, serine and alanine, and in hepatic pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities, whereas the prolactin-188 to prolactin-177 ratio (tPRL188:tPRL177) and plasma prolactin-188 (tPRL188), lactate, arginine and hepatic glycogen content and hepatic alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) and 3-hydroxyacyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase (HOAD) activities were lower than in the fed group. Seawater transfer significantly increased the tPRL188:tPRL177 ratio and plasma concentrations of Na+, Cl-, K+, growth hormone (GH), glucose, aspartate, tyrosine, alanine, methionine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine and valine levels as well as gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity and hepatic PK and LDH activities, whereas plasma tPRL177, tPRL188, glycine and lysine concentrations were significantly lower than in fish retained in fresh water. There was a significant interaction between nutritional state and salinity that affected the tPRL188:tPRL177 ratio and plasma concentrations of Cl-, GH, glucose, aspartate, tyrosine, serine, alanine, glycine, arginine and hepatic PK, LDH, AlaAT, aspartate aminotransferase, glutamate dehydrogenase and HOAD activities. These results, taken together, indicate that food-deprived fish did not regulate their plasma Cl- levels, despite an enhancement of plasma hormonal and metabolic responses in sea water. Our study also suggests the possibility that plasma prolactin and essential amino acids may be playing an important role in the seawater acclimation process in tilapia.

The activities of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in plasma membrane, of cytosolic enzymes and of glutamate dehydrogenase (GlGD) in mitochondria were measured in leukocytes (WBC) from dogs and cats to clarify the differences in energy metabolism in these cells. Feline WBC had significantly higher activities of hexokinase (HK), pyruvate kinase (PK) and LDH with pyruvate as substrate than did canine WBC. Canine WBC had significantly higher activities of glucokinase (GK) and GlDH than did feline WBC. Feline WBC had unique characteristics of energy metabolism in that the activities of the cytosolic enzymes under anaerobic conditions were significantly higher than those in canine WBC. It therefore appears that there are distinct differences in glucose-metabolism in WBC between dogs and cats. WBC enzyme activities are considered to reflect the metabolic state in the whole body of the animal. It is therefore suggested that changes in the activities of certain glycolytic enzymes in WBC may be useful as a diagnostic indicator in some types of metabolic disease in dogs and cats.

Glutamate has been implicated as an intracellular messenger in the regulation of insulin secretion in response to glucose. Here we demonstrate by measurements of cell capacitance in rat pancreatic beta-cells that glutamate (1 mM) enhanced Ca2+-dependent exocytosis. Glutamate (1 mM) also stimulated insulin secretion from permeabilized rat beta-cells. The effect was dose-dependent (half-maximum at 5.1 mM) and maximal at 10 mM glutamate. Glutamate-induced exocytosis was stronger in rat beta-cells and clonal INS-1E cells compared to beta-cells isolated from mice and in parental INS-1 cells, which correlated with the expressed levels of glutamate dehydrogenase. Glutamate-induced exocytosis was inhibited by the protonophores FCCP and SF6847, by the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A(1) and by the glutamate transport inhibitor Evans Blue. Our data provide evidence that exocytosis in beta-cells can be modulated by physiological increases in cellular glutamate levels. The results suggest that stimulation of exocytosis is associated with accumulation of glutamate in the secretory granules, a process that is dependent on the transgranular proton gradient.

Despite unfavorable conditions, a single species of fish, Osorezan dace, lives in an extremely acidic lake (pH 3.5) in Osorezan, Aomori, Japan. Physiological studies have established that this fish is able to prevent acidification of its plasma and loss of Na(+). Here we show that these abilities are mainly attributable to the chloride cells of the gill, which are arranged in a follicular structure and contain high concentrations of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II, type 3 Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE3), type 1 Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter, and aquaporin-3, all of which are upregulated on acidification. Immunohistochemistry established their chloride cell localization, with NHE3 at the apical surface and the others localized to the basolateral membrane. These results suggest a mechanism by which Osorezan dace adapts to its acidic environment. Most likely, NHE3 on the apical side excretes H(+) in exchange for Na(+), whereas the electrogenic type 1 Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter in the basolateral membrane provides HCO(3)(-) for neutralization of plasma using the driving force generated by Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and carbonic anhydrase II. Increased expression of glutamate dehydrogenase was also observed in various tissues of acid-adapted dace, suggesting a significant role of ammonia and bicarbonate generated by glutamine catabolism.
