Rats were made to drink D2O mixed water (30: 70) for 6 weeks in order to study the biological effects of orally administered D2O on the liver. Heavy water administration results in gradual decrease in the body weight whereas the liver showed marginal increase in weight throughout the experimental period. Phosphatases and dehydrogenases were analyzed biochemically. Acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase registered fall in contrast to alkaline phosphatase, SDH and LDH, all of which showed a definite increase. Lipids, nucleic acids and proteins, estimated biochemically, gradually decreased throughout the experimental period in response to D2O feeding.

The intestinal epithelium of Ascardia galli has been studied with various cytological and cytochemical techniques. It consists of large epithelial cells resting on a thick collagenous basal lamina. Their luminal surface is provided with microvilli. The intestinal cells store considerable amounts of glycogen and neutral lipids. Some intracellular granular inclusions, which stain for proteins, phospholipids and lipoproteins, are distributed throughout the cytoplasm. The brush border is composed of microvilli whereas the outer surface coat consists of saliva resistant PAS-positive material. The detailed histochemical analysis of surface material has revealed that it is composed of nonacetylated acid mucopolysaccharides rich in hyaluronic acid with carboxylate polyanions. The brush border shows intense activities of acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase, moderate of ATPase, and lipase, weak of 5'-nucleotidase. Acid phosphatase-positive intracellular structures are seen in the intestinal epithelium which form distinct aggregations.

Ultrastructural distribution of acid phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase was studied in the receptor elements of HERBST and GRANDRY sensory corpuscles. Acid phosphatase activity was established in the elements of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum of perineural capsule cells, as well as in the secondary lysosomes of all cell types. Particular interest was paid on the activity of myelin-like dense bodies and some clear core vesicles belonging to the axoplasm of receptor nerve fibres. Adenosine triphosphatase activity was established on the membranes of receptor structures and pinocytotic vesicles. More deposits of electron dense material were localized on the axolemma of the non-myelinated portions of the receptor nerve fibres. The functional significance and importance of the both enzymes in the receptor structures was discussed.

The central nervous systems of web-building spiders (Araneidae, Agelenidae) and hunting spiders (Lycosidae, Salticidae) were tested for non-specific and specific phosphatases. Acid phosphatase exhibited weakly to moderately positive reactions in the neuronal cell bodies and in the neuropile fibre mass of all species investigated. Alkaline phosphatase could only be demonstrated in the external and internal neural lamellae of the brain and ventral cord of several specimens of the araneid species investigated. Tests for thiamine pyrophosphatase were negative with both the lead and calcium-cobalt methods. Distinctive positive reactions for adenosine triphosphatase were visible in the nervous system of all the species used, being especially strong in the optic ganglia of the hunting spiders. The demonstration of adenosine triphosphatase was only possible when applying the calcium-cobalt method after Padykula and Herman, while the lead method after Wachstein and Meisel did not produce any staining reaction at all. Controls of the histochemical reaction showed that the enzyme was activated by Ca2+ and inhibited by sulphydryl destroying reagents (e.g. PCMB), but was insensitive to ouabain. It could be probably classified as a mitochondrial proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase.

Certain phosphatases have been localized by histochemical techniques in various tissues of a pigeon cestode, Raillietina (Raillietina) johri. Acid phosphatase (AcPase), alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were present in almost all structures: tegument; subtegumental muscles; subtegumental cells; excretory canal; testes; sperm ductules; vas deferens; cirrus sac; cirrus; ovary; receptaculum seminis; vagina; vitelline gland cells; oocytes; uterus; embryonated eggs. AlPase was absent in parenchyma, spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa. AlPase activity was more intense in the tegument of mature gravid proglottides. AcPase and ATPase were visualized in various stages of spermatogenesis of the parasite. ATPase activity was also observed in chromosomes. 5'-nucleotidase (AMPase) activity was restricted to embryonated eggs only. Functional significance of these phosphatases is discussed.

The crude protein levels as well as the activities of various enzymes were studied in certain tissues of fetuses (80th through 114th days of development), piglets of different age groups, and pigs for slaughter. In most of the tissues tested the postnatal activities of Na-K-ATPase were beyond those recorded from fetuses. The highest GOT activities were recorded from the liver, myocardium, and kidneys. Activities were found to rise sizeably in some tissues after birth. The activity of GPT, too, exhibited age-dependent variations. The activity of leucine-aminopeptidase increased strongly after birth in liver and kidneys. Acid phosphatase activity was less markedly influenced by development phases. Those enzymes which are involved in the formation of fructose and glucose (aldolreductase, glucuronate-reductase, and sorbite-dehydrogenase) had their highest activities, all age-dependent, in liver and kidneys.

In order to establish whether a specific adenosine triphosphatase is present in yeast cell wall, hydrolysis rates for p-nitrophenylphosphate (acid phosphatase activity) and for ATP (ATPase activity) were compared under various conditions. Rate determinations were made with both, intact cells and with preparations containing secreted enzymes from protoplasts. Acid phosphatase and ATPase activities had the same pH profile and were susceptible in the same way to the repression by orthophosphate and to the inhibition by 2-deoxyglucose. The Lineweaver-Burk plot shows biphasic kinetic behaviour for the hydrolysis of either p-nitrophenylphosphate or ATP. This suggests the existence of two enzymes with different affinities for the substrates, or one enzyme with at least two active sites. The two activities differ in thermostability and only one activity could be completely abolished by heat treatment. The thermostable enzyme activity had K-m values of 0.475 mM for p-nitrophenylphosphate, and 0.040 mM for ATP. ATP behaved as a partially competitive inhibitor of p-nitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis. Substrate competition studies showed that only a non-specific acid phosphatase is responsible for the hydrolysis of ATP.

1. The multiple forms of acid phosphohydrolases in liver lysosomes of Sus scrofa domesticus and Gallus gallus domesticus were studied by use of isoelectric focusing. 2. Acid phosphatase was resolved into two forms in G. gallus domesticus and three forms in S. scrofa domesticus. Especially, two forms of G. gallus domesticus were different from each other in their enzymatic properties. 3. The pI values of acid ATPase agreed with those of acid phosphodiesterase in G. gallus domesticus. According to the data on activity ratios, however, these enzymes seemed not to be identical. 4. Except acid deoxyribonuclease, extraction by Triton X-100 of lysosomes increased the proportions of acidic forms of these enzymes. In particular, a new form of acid ribonuclease with pI 4.5 or 4.9 appeared in both cases of G. gallus domesticus and S. scrofa domesticus.

Fluoride concentrations in plasma 3 hr after a single oral dose of NaF (5 mg/100 g body weight) were increased 26 times above the control, but the concentrations in erythrocytes and red cell membranes were increased only 1.8 and 1.5 times over the respective control levels. Ionic concentrations of magnesium and calcium in erythrocytes and their membranes were significantly changed by fluoride administration, but the ionic concentrations in plasma were not statistically changed in comparison with controls. Acid phosphatase activities in plasma and erythrocytes were significantly decreased by fluoride administration, but alkaline phosphatase activity in the plasma was not changed. Mg2+-activated ATPase activity was significantly elevated in the erythrocyte membrane by fluoride administration; (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase activity was significantly decreased in the membrane.

Cytochemical techniques associated with transmission electron microscopy were used for the localization in Tritrichomonas foetus of enzymes used as markers of different cell structures. Reaction product indicating the presence of Mg(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase (Mg(2+)-ATPase) and 5'-nucleotidase was observed in the plasma membrane. Glucose-6-phosphatase was seen in association with the endoplasmic reticulum, revealing its organization as parallel cisternae. Thiamino-pyrophosphatase was located in the cis-most region of the Golgi complex. Acid phosphatase was found within lysosomes as well as in several cisternae of the Golgi complex, in contrast to previous observations in mammalian cells. These observations provide support for the use of enzyme markers in future studies on cell fractionation of T. foetus.
