Acute starvation of adult rats resulted in a rise in the electroconvulsive threshold at 48 hours (P less than .10) and at 72 hours (P less than .01), but not at 24 hours. Biochemical correlates included (1) ketonemia and mild hypoglycemia in the blood; (2) a significant rise in the brain cytoplasmic phosphorylation potential and in the energy charge potential; (3) a shift in the brain cytoplasmic oxidation-reduction potential to a more oxidized state; (4) probable partial inhibitions in brain phosphofructokinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase; and (5) relatively small increases in brain sodium (4.1%), potassium (2.4%), and chloride (4.3%). No major differences were seen in brain water content or adenosine triphosphatase activity. The observed cerebral biochemical alterations are believed to be the consequence of increased ketone body utilization, although the precise relationship to the alteration in the electroconvulsive threshold remains unclear.

Growth of Halobacterium halobium under illumination with limiting aeration induces bacteriorhodopsin formation and renders the cells capable of photophosphorylation. Cells depleted of endogenous reserves by a starvation treatment were used to investigate the means by which energy is coupled to the active transport of [14C]proline, -leucine, and -histidine. Proline was readily accumulated by irradiated cells under anaerobiosis even when the photophosphorylation was abolished by the adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodimiide (DCCD). The uptake of proline in the dark was limited except when the cells were allowed to accumulate adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) by prior light exposure or by the oxidation of glycerol. DCCD inhibited this dark uptake. These findings essentially support Mitchell's chemiosmotic theory of active transport. The driving force is apparently the proton-motive force developed when protons are extruded from irradiated bacteriorhodopsin or by the dydrolysis of ATP by membrane adenosine triphosphatase. Carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), a proton permeant known to abolish membrane potential, was a strong inhibitor of proline uptake. Leucine transport was also apparently driven by proton-motive force, although its kinetic properties differed from the proline system. Histidine transport is apparently not a chemiosmotic system. Dark- or light-exposed cells show comparable initial rats of histidine uptake, and these processes were only partially inhibited by DCCD or CCCP. The histidine system apparently does not utilize ATP per se since comparable rates of uptake were exhibited by cells of differing intracellular ATP levels. Irradiated cells did effect a greater total accumulation of histidine than dark-exposed cells. These findings suggest that ATP is needed for sustained transport.

The effect of exogenous orthophosphate and mutations in genes, regulating the Pi transport system, on the ATPase activity of E. coli subcellular fractions was studied. It was shown that the orthophosphate starvation resulted in the cessation of the increase in the ATPase activity of membranes and was accompanied by the increase in the analogous activity of a soluble fraction at the expense of the derepression of alkaline phosphatase possessing this activity. The disturbance, resulted from the mutation of protein components participating in the specific binding and transport of orthophosphate, changed the ATPase activity of subcellular fractions: increased the ATPase activity of soluble fraction (independently of the presence of orthophosphate in medium), did not affect significantly the activity of membrane--bound ATPase in the presence of orthophosphate and decreased this activity in the absence of orthophosphate. The data obtained point to the fact that components, binding exogenous orthophosphate and transporting it into a cell, affect the rigidity of the ATPase bound E. coli cytoplasmic membrane. Mutations resulting in the defect in these components relax this bound and lead to the detection of ATPase proper in the periplasm.

Na+ transport across frog skin, measured as short-circuit current (SCC) shows perfect temperature compensation in frogs acclimated to 6 degrees, 12 degrees, and 23 degrees C as SCC values observed at the acclimation temperatures are equal (about 13 muA/cm2). Reacclimation experiments show that this is not a starvation effect. While very little temperature compensation is seen in the activity of Na+, K+-ATPase in epidermal homogenates from frog skins, the activity of Mg2+-ATPase shows inverse compensation at assay temperatures from 4 degrees to 48 degrees C. This ATPase is apparently activated either by Mg2+ or by Ca2+ and it probably controls the passive permeability of epidermal cells. It is suggested that the inverse temperature compensation in the activity of this enzyme is the main mechanism by which the observed perfect temperature compensation of Na+ transport across frog skin occurs.

1. Using histochemical staining methods for myosin ATPase oxidative and glycolytic enzymes, three major types of muscle fibre could be identified in the skeletal muscle of hamsters and mice. 2. Muscle fibre counts showed that the proportions of the different fibres were not entirely stable with age. In the hamster biceps brachii which is predominantly composed of ATPase-high fibres there was a decrease in the number of ATPase-low fibres. In the soleus muscle which is predominantly composed of ATPase-low fibres there was a decrease in ATPase-high fibres with age. 3. Although there was a change in the proportions of fibre types there was no change in the total number of fibres within the muscles with age. It is suggested that some reinnervation may take place during growth and that this is why the less dedominant fibre type decreases. 4. The response of the different fibre types to partial starvation was studied. The ATPase-high fibres showed the greatest decrease in size. Of these, the ATPase-high glycolytic type responded more than the ATPase-high oxidative type. The effects of the under-nutrition on the different fibre types were found to be completely reversible. Starvation did not affect the total number of fibres or the numbers of any fibre type. 5. The response of the different types to high intensity exercise (weight lifting) was studied. This type of exercise resulted in hypertrophy of all three major fibre types. However, the extent of the response varied according to the fibre type and the exact nature of the exercise. In most cases the ATPase-high fibres underwent hypertrophy more readily than the ATPase-low fibres. Where distinction was made between the two types of ATPase-high fibres, the ATPase-high glycolytic were found to hypertrophy more than the ATPase-high oxidative fibres. The effects of post exercise recovery (return to relative inactivity) were also studied and the changes in size of the fibres were found to be completely reversible.

In conditions of glucose starvation, the maximum velocity of the mediated transport of nonmetabolized and metabolized amino acids, uridine, adenosine, and sucrose across the plasma membrane is stimulated by a factor of two by the addition of 1 mM adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate to Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- wild strain, to the glucose-super-repressed and derepressed mutants COB5 and COB6, and to Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain IL 216-IA. The mediated uptake of 2-D-deoxyglucose and the apparently nonmediated uptake of guanosine are not stimulated by the cyclic nucleotide. N6,O2'-Dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate is also efficient, whereas theophylline, guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate, 5'-AMP, ATP, and adenosine are ineffective. The cellular ATP content of glycerol-grown S. pombe COB5 is about 10 nmol per mg of protein and is not decreased by further incubation in the starvation medium. The addition of 100 mM glucose markedly enhances transport without any increase of the cellular ATP content. The addition of antimycin A or Dio-9 decreases markedly both cellular ATP content and transport. The addition of 2.5 mM glucose to antimycin A-containing medium restores both transport is not necessarily of mitochondrial origin. The uptake of 2-D-deoxyglucose is unaffected by the respiratory inhibitors. Stimulation of uptake by cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate occurs only in glucose-deprived cells. The addition of 10 mM glucose elicits the disappearance of the stimulation and prevents the 30% decrease of the cellular adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate content produced by glucose starvation. Adenosine 3':5'-'monophosphate does not enhance the steady state ATP level but requires cellular ATP produced either by endogenous respiration or, in the absence of respiration blocked by antimycin A, by further addition of 2.5 mM glucose. Stimulation of active uptake by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate does not require protein synthesis because the addition of cycloheximide or anisomycin does not prevent the stimulation of L-leucine uptake. In the absence of respiration, Dio-9, and ATPase inhibitor, suppresses instantaneously the cellular ejection of protons as well as the uptake of uridine and amino acids. It abolishes also the adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-stimulated transport. In the presence of antimycin A, specific mitochondrial ATPase inhibitors such as venruricidin A do not inhibit metabolite uptakes and their stimulation by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate. These results suggest that in these conditions, the target of Dio-9 is not the mitochondrial ATPase but a plasma membrane proton-translocating function generating an electrochemical gradient required for active transport. That adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate enhances the Dio-9-sensitive proton extrusion supports the view that the cyclic nucleotide might modulate the plasma membrane ATPase.

Na+-K+-stimulated and Mg++-dependent ATPase activities were investigated in the developing cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, and medulla oblongata of rats as was the effect of 24-hr lasting starvation and thirst on those enzyme activities. We found (a) a developmental increase of these ATPase activities in the developing rat brain with the maximum in the cerebral cortex and with the minimum in the medulla oblongata; (b) a decrease of the ratio of these enzyme activities, which was near unity in adult animals; (c) an increase of ATPase activities in the cerebral cortex and subcortical formations of young rats under starvation conditions followed by a decrease of the Mg++/Na+-K+-ATPase activity ratios in these structures; and (d) a decrease of these activities, especially in the cerebral cortex, and an increase of the activity ratios in adult animals under starvation conditions.

Comprehensive investigations were carried out for establishing the biological and nutritional value of low erucic-acid rapeseed oil from a variety of rape called Janpol selected in Poland. The pathophysiological effects of Janpol rapeseed oil were observed after giving it as the only source of fat in the diet or added in different proportions to other edible fats. In all cases the total amount of fat in the diet was 20 p. 100 kcal. The investigations were carried out on 78 young male Wistar rats aged 25 days at the beginning of the experiment. The rats were divided into 7 groups and they were given diets containing: 1) soybean oil; 2) mixed fats; 3) rapeseed oil of high erucic-acid content; 4) mixed fats containing 25 p. 100 of Janpol rapeseed oil; 5) mixed fats with 50 p. 100 of Janpol rapeseed oil; 6) mixed fats with 75 p. 100 of Janpol rapeseed oil; 7) Janpol rapeseed oil only. The experiment lasted 3 months. After its completion the rats were decapitated after 18 hours of starvation. The investigation s included : determination of weight gain, determination of the weight of selected organs (liver-lungs, heart, kidneys, testes, spleen), determination of alkaline phosphatase and pseudocholinesterase activity in the serum, determination of triglycerides and cholesterol in the serum, tests for adrenocortical function, histo-chemical investigations of the liver (alkaline and acid phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, fatty infiltration of the liver), macroscopic and microscopic anatomopathological examinations. The authors found the Janpol rapeseed oil caused less pronounced changes in the determined indices of the biological and nutritional evaluation as compared with high-erucic-acid rapeseed oil. Janpol repeseed oil given to experimental animals mixed with other fats in proportions of 25 p. 100 and 50 p. 100 of all fats in the diet, that is 5 p. 100 and 10 p. 100 kcal in the diet derived from Janpol oil gave in most determinations of the investigated parameters results very similar to those observed in animals receiving soybean oil. The results of these investigations show that Janpol rapesed oil can be used for nutrition of man in amounts not exceeding 10 p. 100 of the total caloric content of food.

The dietary stress conditions such as starvation influenced Na+K+-ATPase activity which increased steadily above normal fed levels between the starvation periods of 24--48 hr. Also, an increased enzyme level was observed in alloxan diabetic rats and administration of insulin to diabetic rats led to a tendency towards a lowering of Na+K+-ATPase. Adrenalectomy brought about a lowering of Na+K+-ATPase activity from those of normals while the administration of hydrocortisone induced an enhancement. The results indicate that both starvation and diabetic conditions might cause a stress-like activation of adrenal cortex resulting in increased levels of glucocorticoids which in turn activate the intestinal Na+K+-ATPase activity.

Detailed studies of hepatic metabolism of lipemic BHE and nonlipemic Wistar rats were conducted. Hepatic lipogenic capacity was varied through the use of starvation or meal feeding. Livers were clamped in precooled copper plates and used for the assay of glycolytic, gluconeogenic, and lipogenic metabolites. Redox and phosphorylation states were calculated. Mitochondrial metabolism was evaluated through studies of the oxygen consumption of isolated mitochondria and through the study of the activities of the alpha-glycerophosphate and malate aspartate shuttles and ATPase. BHE rats have higher phosphorylation states, higher redox ratios, and lower shuttle activities and oxygen consumption by isolated mitochondria than their Wistar cohorts. The differences in oxidative phosphorylation, redox and phosphorylation states, and in the various shuttle activities suggest that BHE liver cells are geared towards lipogenesis at the expense of oxidative phosphorylation. It appears that the activity of the shuttles is controlled in part by phosphorylation state which in turn appears to affect respiration. We theorize from these data that genetically determined differences in the structure and function of the mitochondrial membrane (and perhaps the cell membrane as well) may affect the communication (via metabolites and adenine nucleotides) between the cytosol and mitochondria. Subtle differences in the exchange of metabolites and/or adenine nucleotides across the mitochondrial membrane could thus explain the lipogenic tendency of the liver of the BHE rat and the subsequent development of maturity onset hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia in this strain of rat.
