The structure and histochemistry of the palmar and plantar skin were studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). In this skin there exist well-developed epidermal ridges, to which are attached one or two ducts of sweat glands. A thick stratum corneum can be seen in the epidermis, while a distinct stratum lucidum cannot be isolated from the other layers. The stratum granulosum is constituted by one or three layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules. Melanin granulations are mainly concentrated in the basal cells of the epidermal ridges. Dendritic melanocytes and amelanotic melanocytes containing alkaline phosphatase are found among the epidermal cells. Glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylases are mainly present in the middle and lower Malpighian cells of the epidermal ridges. Alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, alanyl amino-peptidase and leucine aminopeptidase were absent in the epidermal cells. SDH, cytochrome oxidase, MAO and a certain number of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LDH, ADH, MDH, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH and GDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the basal cells and Malpighian layer. The NADP-dependent enzymes (G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, cis-aconistase and ICDH) were more reactive in the upper Malpighian layer and stratum granulosum. The stratum corneum showed some acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase reactivity. The collagenous fibers intertwined with a small number of very thin elastic ones and a larger amount of reticular fibers run almost parallel to the epidermal ridges in the papillary body. In the reticular dermis some fibers are disposed transversely to the epidermal ridges. Meissner corpuscles reactive to butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, nonspecific esterase and G-6-PA are disposed at regular intervals and frequently at each side of the epidermal ridges. Pacinian corpuscles were found only in the hypodermis. The eccrine sweat glands contain glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylase in their secretory, ductal and myoepithelial cells. The secretory part shows a uniform reactivity for every dehydrogenase because it contains only one type of cells (clear cells). The intraepidermal segment of the ducts shows a stronger reactivity to nonspecific esterase and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases than the epithelial cells around it.

The dermal cells in grey, xanthic, and white goldfish integuments were cytochemically characterized for the following enzymatic activities: tyrosinase, DOPA-oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase, peroxidase, non-specific esterase, cholinesterase, NAD-diaphorase, NADP-diaphorase, aryl sulfatase, nucleotide phosphodiesterase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, aldolase, as well as succinate, malate, isocitrate, glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, alpha-glycerophosphate, alcohol, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases. It was found that the epidermis was a significant barrier to the access of cytochemical reaction substrates. Removal of the epidermal barrier provided dermal cell localizations of enzymatic activities which were reproducible. Further, alterations in reaction times and temperatures from the mammalian methodology provided conditions fe various integumental cells were compared for possible interrelationships. The basic foundations for future work with the dermis of poikilothermic vertebrates on an experimental basis were established. In addition, a previously undescribed non-pigmented dermal cell, the "x"-cell, was found to have enzymatic characteristics similar to both melanophores and lipophores. The "x"-cell may be the common precursor of both types of pigment cells.

A sporadic case of central core disease in a 5 1/2-year-old girl is reported. Clinically, a retarded motor development existed, furthermore, a muscle weakness and hypotonia of the extremities and trunk, contractures of the hip- and knee-joint,and luxation of both hip-joints. Biopsy specimens are taken from both Mm. gastrocnemii. Muscle fibres show, by morphologic examination, 95 per cent cores, which are characteristic for this myopathy. A further abnormality is seen inthe histochemical preparations for phosphorylase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD diaphorase tetrazolium reductase, myofibrillar ATPase as well as AS-reaction with and without diastase digestion. With these techniques the muscle fibres show an uniform reaction pattern in which the activities of the oxidative andglycolytic enzymes correspond to the type I fibres of healthy persons. The cores show a lack of a activity of the oxidative and glycolytic enzymes as well as are ATPase- and PAS-negative. By reason of this histochemical behaviour it is suggested that the cores are predominantly unstructured. The cause of this disease might be complex disturbances in the neuro-muscular system manifested in the fetal period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction of phosphoglycerate kinase with the human erythrocyte ghost membrane. Ghosts prepared in 0.1 mM EDTA and 17 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.5) have about 230 molecules of phosphoglycerate kinase/ghost. No additional binding is observed after incubating soluble enzyme with these leaky ghosts. This binding is tight but reversible with Kd = 7.1 X 10(-10) M. The enzyme can be eluted significantly from the membrane by incubation with 0.15 M NaCl and it rebinds to the membrane when the depleted ghosts are incubated with rabbit muscle phosphoglycerate kinase. Ligand binding studies show that NADH and NAD have opposite effects on the binding of the enzyme to the membrane; NAD (1.0 MM) favors binding while NADH (0.25 MM) does not. Similarly, ADP (0.2 mM) favors binding while ATP does not. ATP elutes the membrane-bound enzyme with Kd = 0.058 mM. MgSO4 also stimulates dissociation of the membrane-bound phosphoglycerate kinase (Kd = 0.36 mM), an effect which appears to be due to the magnesium ion. ADP (0.2 mM) can counteract the negative effect of MgSO4 (1.0 mM) on binding of phosphoglycerate kinase to the membrane. We have been unable so far to find tight coupling of the (Na+-K+)-ATPase with the membrane-bound phosphoglycerate kinase.

Mycotic foci were studied histochemically on various experimental models of candidiasis. NAD-H, NADP-H-diaphorase, acid phosphatase and ATPase were revealed in the fungi, the activity of these enzymes depended on the state of the fungus. Diaphorase activity in the mucous membrane epithelium falls only if it is damaged by massive invasion of pseudo-mycelium. Inhibition of the enzyme activity in the visceral foci (kidney, liver, heart) occurs only in case of pronounced destruction and is not observed at the distance from the fungi. The results do not confirm the idea of fungal secretion of mycotoxins penetrating into the surrounding tissues and damaging them.

The effects of the cholinergic agonist carbachol (Cch) and guanine nucleotides on the Na,K-ATPase and K-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-p-NPPase) activities in rabbit and dog myocardial sarcolemma vesicles in the presence of the pore-forming antibiotic alamethicin (20 micrograms/ml), was studied. Cch (0.01-100 microM) inhibited the both enzymatic activities by 40-45% (IC50 = 0.3-0.5 microM) only after addition of GTP (50 microM) or its analogs: GTP gamma S (0.1-1.0 microM) and Gpp(NH)p (10 microM). The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR) antagonist atropine (10 microM) blocked the effect of Cch. GTP gamma S alone produced a concentration-dependent decrease in the both Na,K-ATPase and K-p-NPPase activities by 40-45% (IC50 = 1-2 microM) with a lag period of about 3 minutes; this lag disappeared in the presence of the agonist. The GDP analog GDP beta S (0.01-100 microM) neither affected these activities nor promoted the inhibiting effect of Cch. Pretreatment of sarcolemmal vesicles with 20 micrograms/ml of pertussis toxin in the presence of 100 microM NAD abolished the inhibiting effect of Cch on the Na,K-ATPase and phosphatase activities. Under these conditions pertussis toxin catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of alpha-subunits of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein (G1) which were identified immunochemically as alpha i2, alpha i3 and, possibly, alpha i1. The data obtained testify to the involvement of G1 in the mAchR-mediated inhibition of myocardial sarcolemmal Na,K-ATPase as well as in the signal transduction from the receptor to the enzyme.

Morphological and biochemical investigations of pregnant rats and embryo liver cell nuclei after in vivo irradiation in the doses of 1 and 2 Gr revealed their high radiosensitivity at all stages of gestation and embryonal development. At damaging effect of radiation, we managed to observe sharp accumulation of products of lipid peroxide oxidation and suppression of the activities of such enzymes as cytochrome-c-oxidase, NAD.N-cytochrome-c-reductase, ATPase and RNAase in liver nuclei of pregnant rats and embryos. The changes of such a kind are shown to intensify with the increasing of irradiation doses. The most profound inhibition of the activities of these enzymes in liver nuclei of embryos irradiated in utero was observed during the period of organogenesis (the 13th day of the development) and in fetal period of embryogenesis (the 17th day of the development), as well as at the 13th and 17th day of gestation. The morphological data also demonstrate the high level of cell nucleus sensitivity to the action of radiation during gestation and embryogenesis.

The effects of the glycoside antibiotic sporaviridins (SVDs) on oxidative phosphorylation of rat-liver mitochondria were examined. SVDs released state 4 respiration, dissipated transmembrane electrical potential, and accelerated ATPase activity. These facts demonstrated that SVDs are potent uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. During the uncoupling caused by SVDs, large amplitude swelling and oxidation of intramitochondrial NAD(P)H occurred, suggesting that SVDs greatly enhanced nonspecific permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is suggested that the uncoupling action of SVDs might be caused by dissipation of proton electrochemical potential due to an increase in the permeability of inner mitochondrial membrane.

Previous work has shown that irrespective of the route of exposure methyl isocyanate (MIC) caused acute lactic acidosis in rats (Jeevaratnam et al., Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 19, 314-319, 1990) and the hypoxia was of stagnant type due to tissue hypoperfusion resulting from hypovolemic hypotension in rabbits administered MIC subcutaneously (Jeevarathinam et al., Toxicology 51, 223-240, 1988). The present study was designed to investigate whether MIC could induce histotoxic hyperoxia through its effects on mitochondrial respiration. Male Wistar rats were used for liver mitochondrial and submitochondrial particle (SMP) preparation. Addition of MIC to tightly coupled mitochondria in vitro resulted in stimulation of state 4 respiration, abolition of respiratory control, decrease in ADP/O ratio, and inhibition of state 3 oxidation. The oxidation of NAD(+)-linked substrates (glutamate + malate) was more sensitive (five- to sixfold) to the inhibitory action of MIC than succinate while cytochrome oxidase remained unaffected. MIC induced twofold delay in the onset of anerobiosis, and cytochrome b reduction in SMP with NADH in vitro confirms inhibition of electron transport at complex I region. MIC also stimulated the ATPase activity in tightly coupled mitochondria while lipid peroxidation remained unaffected. As its hydrolysis products, methylamine and N,N'-dimethylurea failed to elicit any change in vitro; these effects reveal that MIC per se acts as an inhibitor of electron transport and a weak uncoupler. Administration of MIC sc at lethal dose caused a similar change only with NAD(+)-linked substrates, reflecting impairment of mitochondrial respiration at complex I region and thereby induction of histotoxic hypoxia in vivo.
