The residual effects of dihydroergotoxine mesylate (DHET: active substance of Hydergine), ethanol, and DHET + ethanol were investigated in aging male mice. Prolonged alcohol or DHET consumption was found to prolong hexobarbital sleeping time and increase oxygen consumption. Administration of alcohol combined with DHET inhibited the ability of each drug to prolong hexobarbital sleeping time and increase oxygen consumption. There were no significant differences between groups in forebrain synaptosomal (Na+-K+) adenosine- triphosphatase and acetylcholinesterase activity or cerebellar protein, DNA and RNA content. The relative proportion of phospholipid to protein in isolated myelin of the medulla was significantly reduced, whereas the sphingomyelin content of total phospholipid was highest in alcohol-treated mice. Conocomitant treatment of mice with alcohol combined with DHET prevented the physiological and neurochemical changes caused by alcohol and, in some cases, DHET, administered alone.

Ultrastructural distribution of adenosine triphosphatase and thiamine pyrophosphatase in synapses of rat's cerebral cortex was studied. Adenosine triphosphatase activity in some synaptic vesicles and mitochondria, on pre- and postsynaptic membranes, as well as in the postsynaptic thickening was established. The reaction specificity was proved by means of some controls: various concentrations of ouabain, NaF, NiCl2, cysteine, substrate free medium and non-specific substrates - cocarboxylase and beta-glycerophosphate. At the thiamine pyrophatase reaction, the enzyme positive product was found on the membrane of some clear synaptic vesicles, on the singl sacs of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the axon terminal, and bouton cell membrane. Substrate free medium, addition of cystein and substitution of orininal substrate with adenosine triphosphate and beta-glycerophosphate as controls were used. The fine structure localization of both enzymes in synaptic structures suggests their important role in the synaptic function.

Three parts were distinguished by electron microscopy and by enzyme histochemistry at the boundary zone between the white and red pulp of the human spleen. The first was the inner layer of the perifollicular region, composed of medium-sized lymphocytes with abundant free ribosomes in their cytoplasm. A small number of reticulum cells intervened among these lymphocytes. This inner layer was considered to correspond to the "Follikelaussenzone" (Strasser). The second was the outer layer of the perifollicular region, composed of a meshwork of reticulum cells with reticular fibers, and sheathed and non-sheathed arteries. Small and medium-sized lymphocytes, granulocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and a small number of plasma cells were observed in the mesh spaces. This outer layer was considered to correspond to the "marginal zone" (Snook). At the outermost part of this layer, the venous sinus appeared. There was no distinct border between this layer and the red pulp. The third was the neighboring region of the periarterial lymphoid sheath, showeing similar structure and cellular components to the outer layer of the perifollicular region. It was characteristic feature for the lymphocytes and some of the reticulum cells of this region to have a strong activity for alkaline phosphatase reaction, while the lymphocytes of the outer layer showed only a weak activity. Adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were demonstrated on the lymphocytes of these three parts of the boundary zone as well as the lymph follicle. Different activities for these enzyme reactions may indicate the functional properties of the B-cell system.

The histochemical activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), myofibrillar Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were studied in serial sections of rat vastus lateralis (red) (RVL), gastrocnemius and diaphragm muscles. Three main fibre-types were distinguished. The "Type I" fibres of RVL and gastrocnemius muscles fell into two distinct groups: one category--"Type IA" showed very low ATPase activity. The second category of "Type IB" fibres displayed moderate ATPase reaction. The "Type IA" fibres were divisible into two sub-groups when tested for SDH reaction. "Type IA1" fibres possessed a homogenous distribution of diformazan granules throughout the fibre: "Type IA2" fibres displayed characteristic "moth-eaten" pattern of diformazan localization. The diaphragm muscle did not show either "Type IB" or "Type IA2" varieties. The great majority of TypeI fibres were sub-type IA1 in the three fast muscles studied. It is also demonstrated here that an inherent heterogeneity exists between Type I filores of diaphragm and leg muscles in regard to alpha-GPD localization. This histochemical data emphasizes the fact that subdivision of TypeI striated muscle fibres of mammalian animals into two sub-types is only approximate and that a further subcategorization is possible.

The present study deals with the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase in the various constituents of thoracic ganglia and associated nerve of Periplaneta americana. The localization of both the enzymes in the thoracic ganglia is identical. The neural lamella is devoid of any activity for both the enzymes. The ganglion cells are intensely positive at their borders. The neuronal cell surface and/or glial cell processes which envelope the neurons show intense activity for these enzymes. Adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase are present around "giant fibres" and small axons. The activity appears to confine itself in the sheaths. The cytoplasm and the nuclei of the neurons are devoid of enzymatic activity, whereas the nucleoli are slightly active. The nerves are positive for both the enzymes. The role of these enzymes at different sites has also been discussed.

Seven well differentiated chondrosarcomas of bone have been analyzed by electron microscopy, and the fine structural localization of adenosine triphosphatase and nonspecific alkaline phosphatase has been elucidated. On the basis of the fine structural appearance, two distinct cell types were shown to constitute the tumor tissue: chondrocyte-like cells and large "mitochondria-rich cells". Large, multinucleated cells in the tumor did not seem to correspond to osteoclasts but rather were likely to represent true neoplastic cells. Some chondrocyte-like cells appeared to be binucleated by virtue of deep, groove-like nuclear indentations. Adenosine triphosphatase and alkaline phosphatase were associated with the plasma membrane of both chondrocyte-like and mitochondria-rich cells suggesting that they might be of common origin. Normal chondroblasts and chondrocytes lack histochemically demonstrable adenosine triphosphatase on their plasma membrane. Presence of this enzyme in the tumor cells may indicate that they are histogenetically related to immature non-chondroid matrix forming cells (known to carry the enzymes).

Muscle spindles were followed in serial transverse sections of freshly frozen rat soleus muscles. Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) histochemical staining reaction was used to identify nuclear bag1, nuclear bag2 and nuclear chain intrafusal muscle fibers. Regional differences in ATPase staining occurred along bag1 and bag2 fibers but not along chain fibers. Bag1 fibers displayed ultrastructural heterogenity when their intra- and extracapsular regions were compared. Simple "diffuse" and more elaborate "plate" motor nerve terminals were demonstrated histochemically along the poles of bag1 and bag2 fibers by staining for cholinesterase. One motor terminal of the "plate" appearance was present on a chain fiber pole. There was no consistent spatial correlation between the intensity of regional ATPase staining along the nuclear bag fibers and the location, number and type of motor endings. Other factors, such as intrafusal fiber sensory innervation and regional differences in active and passive functional recruitment of nuclear bag fibers during muscle activity, may contribute to the ATPase staining variability along the intrafusal fibers.

A stable and homogeneous adenosine-5'-triphosphatase (ATPase, EC 3.6.1.3) has been solubilized from Rhodospirillum rubrum (R. rubrum) chromatophores by chloroform extraction. Purification of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity was 200-fold. Ca2+ can be replaced by Mg2+, Cd2+, and Mn2+. The Km for Ca-ATP (0.17 mM) is increased about 5-fold during solubilization of the enzyme, whereas the Km values for Mg-ATP (0.029 mM) and Cd-ATP (0.014 mM) are not affected. The chloroform-released ATPase has a molecular weight of 400,000 +/- 30,000 and consists of the following subunits (molecular weights in parenthesis): alpha(58,000), beta(53,500), gamma(39,000), delta(18,500), and epsilon(14,000). The amino acid composition and the fluorescence spectra are presented. Besides the chloroform-released ATPase complex three other Ca2+-dependent ATPase forms have been isolated from R. rubrum chromatophores by other methods for comparison. Ultrasonication of the membranes leads to the release of an ATPase complex which is mainly composed of alpha, beta, and gamma-subunits. From an acetone powder extract an ATPase complex could be purified by affinity chromatography which is composed of four kinds of subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). The same acetone powder yields an ATPase consisting of only three different types of subunits (alpha, beta, gamma) if the final purification step is preparative disc electrophoresis on 6% polyacrylamide gels instead of affinity chromatography.

[1,2-14C] Vinyl chloride and [1,2-14C] trichloroethylene were incubated with rat liver microsomes, NADPH and RNA (from yeast). Whereas trichloroethylene metabolites were irreversibly bound to proteins in microsomal incubations to a higher extent than vinyl chloride metabolites, irreversible binding to RNA was lower for trichloroethylene metabolites. Hydrolysis of the RNA which was reisolated from microsomal incubations with 14C-vinyl chloride or 14C-trichloroethylene and separation of the nucleosides showed different alkylation products arising from vinyl chloride and from trichloroethylene, characteristic for vinyl chloride being formation of 1,N6-ethenoadenosine and 3,N4-enthenocytidine. The different reactivities of metabolites of vinyl chloride and of trichloroethylene prompted a comparison of the oncogenic effects of both compounds against the rat liver cell. Newborn rats were exposed for 10 weeks to 2000 ppm vinyl chloride or trichloroethylene (8 h/day; 5 days/week). After this period livers of the animals were stained for nucleoside-5-triphosphatase. Whereas the vinyl chloride exposed rats showed focal hepatocellular deficiencies in this enzyme, which are supposed to represent an early sign of malignancy, no such changes were induced by trichloroethylene exposure. The data therefore suggest differences between the hepatocarcinogenic activity of vinyl chloride and possible effects of trichloroethylene on the liver.

Detergent extracts of isolated rat liver plasma membranes were analysed in two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis against antiserum to plasma membranes. Enzyme staining of the immunoprecipitates revealed the presence of about ten antigens with nucleoside di- and triphosphatase activity. Most of these were earlier shown also to be NADH-neotetrazolium reductase active. In addition, two of these antigens exhibited L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase activity. As judged from autoradiography these plasma membrane antigens earlier characterized as multienzyme complexes bound [14C]epinephrine, and the same antigens were labelled regardless of whether membranes or membrane extracts were incubated with the radioactive hormone. The specificity of this binding was established in displacement experiments with unlabelled hormones or their analogues. Another hormone-binding antigen, also identified in the plasma membrane extract did not exhibit any known enzyme activity while three antigens with different enzyme activities had no epinephrine-binding capacity. [14C]Epinephrine-labelled plasma membrane extracts were chromatographed on Sepharose 4B and the fractions obtained were analysed in two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis combined with autoradiography. Nucleoside di- and triphosphatases of high molecular weights (5000000) were associated with L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase activity, while no such associations were detected in a lower molecular weight region (70000). Further immunological studies on the various fractionated antigens provided evidence that at least two of them occurred in both low and high molecular weight fractions. Hormone-binding membrane components in varying concentrations were found throughout the eluted extract.
