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.

Intravillous, microcrater, and macroscopic invasive lesions induced in the mouse duodenum by N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine were examined histochemically. The cells of these neoplastic lesions and the proliferative zones of the normal crypts showed similar staining reactions in leucine aminopeptidase, alkaline and acid phosphatases, adenosine 5'-triphosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. However, a slight decrease in succinic dehydrogenase activity and a slight increase in lactic dehydrogenase activity were observed in the intravillous and microcrater lesions compared to the activity in the proliferative zones of the crypts. The neoplastic cells of these lesions showed no mucus secretion. We discussed the origin of the neoplastic lesions using these and other findings.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of lactate, protons, inorganic phosphate, and ATP on myofibrillar ATPase activity. Myofibrils were isolated from carp (Cyprinius carpio L.) fast-twitch white muscle, and myofibrillar ATPase activities were assessed under maximal activating calcium levels (pCa 4.0) at 10 degrees C in reaction media containing metabolic profiles similar to those seen in fatiguing muscles. The Ca(2+)-activated ATPase activity was assessed by an ATP regenerating assay that coupled the myofibrillar ATPase to pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. This assay allowed the effects of ATP, inorganic phosphate, protons, and lactate on myofibrillar ATPase activity to be assessed. The coupled assay was found to give similar myofibrillar ATPase kinetics, with the exception of higher maximal activities, to those seen with a standard end-point assay. Myofibrillar ATPase activity was depressed by 35% when ATP concentrations were lowered to 2.5 mM. Lowering ATP levels to 0.5 mM reduced the myofibrillar ATPase activities by 85%. Lactate had no effect on myofibrillar ATPase activities. Inorganic phosphate levels up to about 20 mM significantly decreased the myofibrillar ATPase activities, after which further increases in inorganic phosphate content had minimal effects. The changes in ATPase activities were related to total inorganic phosphate, not to the content of diprotonated inorganic phosphate. Myofibrillar ATPase activity was highest at pH 7.5 and lowest at pH 6.0. The interactive effects of low ATP, decreased pH, and high inorganic phosphate levels were not additive, giving similar decreases in activity to those produced by increased inorganic phosphate levels alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In vitro alterations induced by a 10 micrograms/ml and 50 micrograms/ml dose each of thiophenate and fenbendazole on the absorptive surfaces of Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae) were studied. The most significant changes were induced in the gut epithelium. Alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase activities were decreased, succinic dehydrogenase activity was increased, while acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase were completely lost from the intestinal epithelium after treatment with either of the drugs. A stimulatory effect of these two anthelmintics was observe on lactic dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase distribution. Thiophenate caused an increase in the activities of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) and nonspecific esterases and a decrease in reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-D) activity. Fenbendazole treatment led to the inhibition of GDH, while G-6-PD, NADPH-D, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase and nonspecific esterase activity remained unaltered in the epithelium.

Myosin and creatine kinase were co-immobilized onto Immunodyne films to mimic the behaviour of creatine kinase bound to the M-line of myofilaments. The Mg-ATPase activity of bound myosin was studied by a coupled enzymatic assay, which detects Mg-ADP in the bulk solution by means of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. The competition for Mg-ADP between pyruvate kinase and creatine kinase either free in solution or co-immobilized with myosin was studied at various creatine phosphate concentrations. Bound creatine kinase competed efficiently when present in very low amounts, corresponding to an activity ratio higher than 1:20,000 between creatine kinase and pyruvate kinase and a molar ratio higher than 1:1000 between creatine kinase and myosin. The Mg-ADP produced by myosin ATPase in the vicinity of the film did not diffuse into the bulk solution but, in the presence of creatine phosphate, was recycled into Mg-ATP by the neighbouring creatine kinase. The existence of an unstirred layer near the surface of the film is sufficient to explain the channeling of ADP (or ATP) between co-immobilized myosin and creatine kinase, without direct interaction or 'intimate coupling' between the enzymes. The problem now is to determine the importance of this kind of facilitated diffusion in the myofilaments in vivo.

Histochemical activities of several enzymes were investigated in the olfactory epithelium (OE) and vomeronasal organ (VNO) of the golden hamster. Activities of adenosine triphosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase were intense in the OE, and the sensory (VSE) and respiratory epithelium (VRE) of the VNO. The activity of acid phosphatase was intense in both the OE and the VSE, while that of non-specific esterase was intense in the VSE alone. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was detectable only in the VRE. Activities of monoamine oxidase and acetylcholine esterase were negative in all of the OE, VSE and VRE. These similarities and differences in the histochemical distribution of enzymes between OE and VSE may reflect the common olfactory function and/or functional specialization in these epithelia. On the other hand, the VRE was considerably different from the OE and VSE in the enzymatic distribution. This may reflect the non-olfactory function of this epithelium.

Although the soleus muscle comprises only 6% of the ankle plantar flexor mass in the rat, a major role in stance and walking has been ascribed to it. The purpose of this study was to determine if removal of the soleus muscle would result in adaptations in the remaining gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles due to the new demands for force production imposed on them during stance or walking. A second purpose was to determine whether the mass or the fiber type of the muscle(s) removed was a more important determinant of compensatory adaptations. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent bilateral removal of soleus muscle, plantaris muscle, or both muscles. For comparison, compensatory hypertrophy was induced in soleus and plantaris muscles by gastrocnemius muscle ablation. After forty days, synergist muscles remaining intact were removed. Mass, and oxidative, glycolytic, and contractile enzyme activities were determined. Despite its role in stance and slow walking, removal of the soleus muscle did not elicit a measurable alteration in muscle mass, or in citrate synthase, lactate dehydrogenase, or myofibrillar ATPase activity in gastrocnemius or plantaris muscles. Similarly, removal of the plantaris muscle, or soleus and plantaris muscles, had no effect on the gastrocnemius muscle, suggesting that this muscle was able to easily meet the new demands placed on it. These results suggest that amount of muscle mass removed, rather than fiber type, is the most important stimulus for compensatory hypertrophy. They also suggest that slow-twitch motor units in the gastrocnemius muscle play an important role during stance and locomotion in the intact animal.

The effect of estrogen on plasma membrane was investigated using the primary cultured rat hepatocytes treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and the isolated plasma membrane of rat liver. 17 beta-Estradiol (E2), at concentrations of 10(-10) M to 10(-4) M, 10(-8) M to 10(-6) M and 10(-12) M to 10(-4) M, had an inhibitory effect on the CCl4-induced leakage of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase, respectively from primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Diethylstilbestrol, which caused inhibition at a dose of 10(-4) M, did not inhibit any enzyme leakage at any further concentrations of 10(-12) M to 10(-6) M. In the isolated plasma membrane of rat liver, Mg(2+)- and Na+,K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase activity was increased by E2 treatment at concentrations of 10(-6) M and 10(-4) M.

While laboratory experimental model of coronary heart disease (according to Frol'kis et al.) is developed, activity of succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Na+, Ka(+)- and Mg2+ ATPase decreases, but activity of lactate dehydrogenase and concentrations of lactic and pyruvic acids in the heart tissue increase. At the same time concentration of glycogene increases more than twice. As far as we can see there is an evidence of a decrease of glycogene utilization due to change in levels of regulatory processes. Despite a decrease of ATP synthesis by the inhibition of tricarboxylic acid cycle the ATP:ADP relation reduces to ATP, as emphatic inhibition of ATPase in the heart tissues takes place in development of the model of the coronary heart disease. The relation between ATP and ADP is considered as a regulator of glycogene utilization. In the liver tissue activity of succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Na+, K(+)- and Mg2+ ATPase falls, while concentrations of lactic acid grow. No accumulation of glycogen is observed. It is obvious that there are controversial metabolic processes. Experimental data are discussed.

In the present study, we investigated the toxic response to repeated oral administration of 2-chloroethyl linoleate (2-CEL) in male rats at 250 mg/kg body weight for 2 weeks on alternate days (total 7 doses). Control rats received an equal volume of mineral oil. The five animals from each group were sacrificed on days 1, 7 and 28 following the last dose. No significant changes were observed in body weight, as well as organ-to-body weight ratios due to 2-CEL treatment. The red blood cell counts increased significantly in 2-CEL treated animals at day 28 as compared to the controls. Elevated counts of platelets, monocytes and eosinophils and low counts of basophils and large unstained cells were also observed at some time points in 2-CEL treated rats. Significantly reduced activities of total serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were found at most of the time points except for LDH at day 28. Adenosine triphosphatase activity was also significantly reduced in liver mitochondrial fraction at all time points. Histopathological studies showed consistent centrilobular lesions (incidence 4/4) in the liver consisting of hepatocyte vacuolar degeneration and focal necrosis at day 28. A few centrilobular lesions were also observed (incidence 2/4) at day 7, while no changes were observed at day 1. These results indicate that 2-CEL is a hepatotoxin, however, the observed decrease in serum enzyme levels in relation to hepatotoxicity of 2-CEL, needs to be elucidated.
