Gastric secretion was measured in nine patients with duodenal ulcer before, and after treatment for four weeks with omeprazole 20 mg or 40 mg daily. Basal acidity and acid output were affected variably by 20 mg, but inhibited totally by 40 mg daily. Sham feed stimulated acid output was reduced by 20 mg daily and completely inhibited by 40 mg daily. Maximal pentagastrin stimulated acid output was halved by 20 mg omeprazole daily and 84% inhibited by 40 mg daily. The reduction in acidity was always greater than the reduction of volume. Pepsin output after pentagastrin was little altered but with the reduced secretory volume pepsin concentrations were increased by both doses. The major cause of reduced aspirate acid output after omeprazole is decreased secretion of the primary acid component of the parietal cell by the proton pump H+K+ ATPase. Duodenogastric alkaline reflux is, however, markedly increased after omeprazole and is an additional factor in the resultant hypoacidity or even anacidity after this drug.

Fatigue--or decrease in force generation--is a reduction of simultaneously attached cross-bridges in the force generating state. Two processes are necessary for the force generation: Firstly Ca++ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the sarcoplasm and the binding of Ca++ by the troponin molecule and secondly the turnover of myosin-actin cross-bridges. These processes require energy in at least three different ATPase reactions and can consequently be inhibited when ATP hydrolysis is decreased, i.e. when ATP content is to low or when the reaction products (ADP, Pi and H+) reach inhibiting levels or when muscle pH has decreased to values inhibiting actomyosin ATPase activity (22). Low pH will also decrease Ca++ release and Ca++ affinity by troponin (23). In isometric contraction the force is well preserved as long as ADP phosphorylation can be provided by both PCr degradation and anaerobic glycolysis. When the PCr store is exhausted the force starts to decline and if muscle activation is maintained the force will continue to decrease along with falling glycolytic rate. ADP phosphorylation rate decreases successively and ATP content falls with an at least transient increase in ADP. The ATP decrease, apart from the minor increase in ADP, is balanced by an equimolar increase in IMP. Lactate accumulation produces an increasing acidity with muscle pH values down to 6.25. Early changes in free ADP content cannot be excluded as reason for the initial decrease in force production followed by more pronounced inhibition of ATPase activity during continued contraction due to both substrate lack and product inhibition together with pH effect on the excitation--contraction mechanism. In dynamic exercise with supramaximum work intensity the relation between fatigue development and metabolism is similar. In prolonged dynamic exercise relying on oxidative metabolism without lactate formation the point of fatigue is reached when the glycogen store is exhausted. Again ADP phosphorylation rate is decreased when the energy substrate is changed from carbohydrate to fat with lower maximum rate of ATP resynthesis.

1. The activity of 25 substituted 2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazoles in uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation by rat-liver mitochondria has been compared. 2. For halogen- or mixed-halogen- and alkyl-substituted analogues, uncoupling activity was proportional to the acidity of the imidazole -NH group. Tetrachloro-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole was the most active (50% uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation at 7.9x10(-8)m, pK5.04). Nitro-substituted analogues were less active than predicted from pK considerations or from partition-coefficient measurements. 3. Introduction of an -NH(2) or -CO(2)H substitutent caused a loss of uncoupling activity, as did alkylation at position 1 of the imidazole ring. 4. Benzimidazoles active as uncouplers stimulated mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase but not all stimulated the oxidation of succinate in the absence of a phosphate acceptor. 5. 4,5-Dichloro-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole inhibited the succinate-oxidase system at about the same concentration required for uncoupling (0.52mum for 50% inhibition of both activities) and the site of this inhibition appears to lie between succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome b.

The chloroplast thylakoid ATPase proton pump-driven H+ accumulation in the dark was compared to the light-dependent proton pump driven by either photosystem II or I, in regard to the effects of the resultant acidity on chemical modification reactions. The assays used to detect the acidity effects were: (a)the incorporation of [3H]-acetic anhydride into membrane protein -NH2 groups, and (b) the effect of a certain level of that chemical modification on inhibition of photosystem II water oxidation activity. Based on labeling data with [3H]-acetic anhydride, 20-30 nmol.(mg chl)-1 of -NH3+ groups appear to be metastable in the dark in untreated membranes. The term metastable is used because proton leak-inducing treatments in the dark lead to about 20-30 nmol . (mg chl)-1 increase in acetic anhydride labeling probably due to reaction with the -NH2 form of amine groups. Addition of low levels of uncoupler or a brief thermal treatment caused a loss of protons from the membrane equivalent to the increase in acetic anhydride derivatization. The increase in acetic anhydride derivatization caused inhibition of water oxidation activity. Using thermally sensitized membranes, photosystem II but not photosystem I electron transport (each giving a steady-state proton accumulation of about 50 nmol H+ . (mg chl)-1 restored the lower level of acetic anhydride reactivity as in previous results (Baker et al., 1981). In dark-maintained, thermally treated membranes, ATPase activity, i.e., the proton pump associated with it, also restored the lower level of acetic anhydride labeling, and again acetic anhydride no longer inhibited water oxidation. Because photosystem I activity did not elicit this type of response to acetic anhydride, there appears to be a pathway for ATPase pumped protons which allows them to reach a restricted domain, perhaps intramembrane, common with the photosystem II water oxidation mechanism and unavailable to protons pumped by photosystem I. The membrane structure(s) which determines this site specificity is not yet understood.

Twenty four hour intragastric acidity was measured in nine patients with duodenal ulcer before and after one week of treatment with oral omeprazole 30 mg daily, a drug that inhibits gastric secretion by inhibition of parietal cell H+K+ adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase). Omeprazole virtually eliminated intragastric acidity in all patients: the median 24 hour intragastric pH rose from 1.4 to 5.3 and the mean hourly hydrogen ion activity fell from 38.50 to 1.95 mmol(mEq)/1 (p less than 0.001). This inhibition of 24 hour intragastric acidity is more profound than that previously reported with either cimetidine 1 g daily or ranitidine 300 mg daily.

Experiments were performed to determine the internal pH and membrane potential of platelet alpha-granules. Fluorescence microscopy showed accumulation of weak bases, indicative of an acidic interior, inside secretory vesicles in intact platelets and in isolated alpha-granules. Weak base uptake was pH-dependent and NH+4-sensitive. In isolated alpha-granules suspended in medium buffered at pH 7.2, a delta pH, the difference between internal and external pH, of 1.2 (inside acidic) was measured by [14C]methylamine distribution. Uptake of isotopic or fluorescent amines was reduced by H+/cation exchange via ionophores and by addition of NH+4, but also by increasing the ionic strength suggesting that delta pH is partly due to a Donnan potential. Transmembrane potential measurements by fluorescent or radioactive ion distribution indicated that in the absence of ATP, granules are internally negative. When measured with 86Rb+, this potential could be entirely collapsed by increasing the ionic strength. Addition of ATP X Mg in the absence of permeating anions made the intragranular space more positive, as expected from inward electrogenic H+ pumping. The results are compatible with the coexistence of sealed and leaky subpopulations of alpha-granules. Internal acidity was generated in sealed granules in vivo by a H+-pumping ATPase, whereas in leaky granules acidity is a consequence of an internally negative Donnan potential.

Until recently, suppression of gastric acid secretion in patients with peptic ulcer was empirical and of unproven value. Anticholinergic drugs had only modest inhibitory effects on acid secretion, many side effects, and uncertain efficacy. Controlled trials using antacids demonstrated the value of reducing gastric acidity for healing duodenal ulcer. The discovery of histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists in the 1970s and the introduction of H+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitors in the 1980s made reduction of acid secretion the first-choice modality for healing and preventing recurrences of duodenal and gastric ulcers. The demonstration in the late 1980s and early 1990s that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) was a major risk factor for duodenal and gastric ulcer recurrences suggested that peptic ulcer could be cured by eradicating this organism from the stomach. However, antibiotic eradication of Hp can be difficult, often requiring simultaneous administration of a drug that suppresses acid secretion. Therefore, H2 and proton pump inhibitors continue to play a role in the management of duodenal and gastric ulcers associated with Hp and also play a primary role in the therapy of other acid-related disorders, such as gastroesophageal reflux diseases, stress ulcers, ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome) and other acid hypersecretory states.

Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1) stimulated the release of degraded proteoglycan from primary cultures of chondrocyte monolayers in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, efficiently blocked acidification of the chondrocyte vacuolar system. Under these conditions IL-1-stimulated proteoglycan degradation was inhibited by bafilomycin A1 with an IC50 of < 10 nM in both chondrocyte monolayers and articular cartilage explants. This concentration was at least 100-fold less than that required to partially inhibit total protein synthesis. In chondrocyte monolayers, bafilomycin A1 could be added several hours after IL-1 and complete inhibition was still observed. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and retinoic acid also stimulated proteoglycan degradation in chondrocyte monolayers, and in both cases the response was inhibited by bafilomycin A1. These results suggest that maintenance of vacuolar acidity is required for cytokine stimulated proteoglycan degradation and that this requirement is at a point distal to receptor binding and early signal transduction events. IL-1 also stimulated the synthesis and secretion of prostromelysin by chondrocyte monolayers, however, under conditions in which IL-1 stimulated proteoglycan release was totally blocked by bafilomycin A1, there was no effect on IL-1-stimulated stromelysin secretion or stromelysin enzyme activity. These results, in which stromelysin synthesis and proteoglycan degradation were dissociated, suggest that an additional enzyme is responsible for proteoglycan degradation in this chondrocyte monolayer system.

A pH dependent reduction in growth, pigment, ATP content, O2- evolution, carbon fixation, photosynthetic electron transport system, nutrient uptake (NO3- and NH4+), nitrate reductase, and ATPase activities and increase in K+ efflux of Chlorella vulgaris was noticed following supplementation of Cu and Ni to the culture medium. PS II was found to be more sensitive to both pH and metals than PS I. Though, nitrate reductase (NR) was more sensitive to both pH and metals, the ATPase was however, more sensitive to metals but less sensitive to acidic pH. Acid pH was found to inhibit the nutrient (NO3- and NH4+) uptake and nitrate reductase in a non-competitive manner. The inhibition produced by the test metals alone was of non-competitive type for NO3- uptake, nitrate reductase and ATPase and competitive for NH4+ uptake. Acidity not only inhibited the metabolic variables directly but also through facilitated uptake of metals and increased membrane permeability. A very low sensitivity of ATPase to acidic pH seems to be responsible for the survival of algae in acid environment.

This study concerns the inhibitory effects of acid pH and nickel on growth, nutrient (NO3- and NH4+) uptake, carbon fixation, O2 evolution, electron transport chain and enzyme (nitrate reductase and ATPase) activities of acid tolerant and wild-type strains of Chlorella vulgaris. Though a general reduction in all these variables was noticed with decreasing pH, the tolerant strain was found to be metabolically more active than the wild-type. A reduced cation (NH4+, Na+, K+ and Ca2+) uptake, coupled with a facilitated influx of anions (NH4+, PO4(3-) and HCO3-), suggested the development of a positive membrane potential in acid tolerant Chlorella. Nevertheless, a tremendous increase in ATPase activity at decreasing pH revealed the involvement of superactive ATPase in exporting H+ ions and keeping the internal pH neutral. A difference in Na+ and K+ efflux of the two strains at decreasing pH suggests there is a difference in membrane permeability. The low toxicity of Ni in the acid tolerant strain may be due to the low Ni uptake brought about by a change in membrane potential as well as in permeability. Hence, the development of superactive ATPase and a change in both membrane potential and permeability not only offers protection against acidity, but also co-tolerance to metals.
