The oxidative metabolic activity of restricted regions of hippocampal slices was assessed by a continuous measurement of the fluorescence of intramitochondrial nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH). A large increase in NADH fluorescence was triggered by substituting the oxygen supply to the slice by nitrogen gas. A large and transient increase in NADH fluorescence was also produced by superfusion of the the slice with a high (50 mM) potassium-containing medium. Addition of norepinephrine (NE) to the superfusion medium caused a propranolol-inhibited increase in NADH fluorescence. Furthermore, ouabain, which inhibits the Na-K pump, blocked the effects of NE. An analog of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), 8-bromo cAMP, mimicked the effect of NE. Finally, effects of NE could still be produced in a kainic acid-treated hippocampus, where most neurons were previously destroyed by the drug. It is suggested that NE activates a Na-K-ATPase, that this effect might be mediated by cAMP, and that these interrelations may underly the physiological action of NE in the brain.

Adriamycin ws tested as a possible inhibitor of cardiac sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase). At concentrations of 10(-4) M and lower, Adriamycin had no effect upon either ouabain-sensitive (Na-K-ATPase) or ouabain-insensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity in homogenates and microsomal fractions of cardiac tissue from several different species. Adriamycin inhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity at a concentration of 10(-3) M, but this was due to the inhibition of ouabain-insensitive adenosine triphosphatase rather than to inhibition of Na-K-ATPase. Under no condition was an inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity by Adriamycin observed. These conditions included preincubation of the enzyme with Adriamycin, chelation of Ca2+, addition of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and variation of buffer and pH. It was concluded that Na-K-ATPase is not a likely site of Adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity.

To determine whether and how ethanol and acetaldehyde alter brain oxidative metabolic activity, reduction/oxidation shifts of components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain were optically measured, in situ, from cat cerebral cortex. Oxidative shifts of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) were recorded in response to increased energy demand provoked by stimulation of the cortical surface by electrical pulses. Ethanol or acetaldehyde did not alter the direction of the responses but each slowed the rates of oxidation with little effect upon the rates of subsequent re-reduction. There was no apparent change produced by either drug upon the kinetics of the negative shifts of the cortical steady potential in response to the stimulation. However, stimulus-evoked electrical and metabolic responses were decreased in amplitude with increasing drug doses. It is suggested that the slowed mitochondrial oxidation results from inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase. This supports the concept that ethanol or acetaldehyde inhibit the processes that lead to increased oxygen consumption following cell depolarization in vivo, as has been demonstrated in vitro.

Parietal cells in the luminal segments of mouse gastric glands show high activity of acid-secreting potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (H+, K+-ATPase) and of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-ICDHase) and malate dehydrogenase (MDHase) but low activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHase). This pattern of activity is reversed in the basal segments of the same glands. These results and previous morphological findings support the conclusion that luminal segment parietal cells are much more active in hydrochloric acid secretion than those of the basal segment. The origin of this zonation may be either cellular deterioration with age or some more specific form of regulation of parietal cell metabolism.

The correlation between histochemical properties of muscle fibers and the pattern of innervation by the two motor neurons was studied in the asymmetric claw closer muscles of the lobster. The closer muscle of the cutter claw is composed of 65 percent fast muscle fibers and 35 percent slow muscle fibers, whereas that in the crusher claw has all slow muscle fibers. In both claws, myofibrillar adenosinetriphosphatase activity was independent of the pattern of innervation. Oxidative capacity, as measured by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide activity, was correlated with motor axon presence: Muscle fibers innervated solely by the "fast" motor axon had low oxidative capacity, muscle fibers receiving only the slow motor axon had very high oxidative capacity, and fibers innervated by both axons had intermediate properties. The data suggest that the motor neurons may exert trophic influences that control certain muscle fiber properties but not others.

A comparison was made of muscle from two locations in both the longissimus and the semitendinous muscles of normal and malignant hyperthermia-susceptible swine. Serial frozen sections were stained for alkali-stable adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), phosphorylase, and the oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-diaphorase. Myofiber types were identified on the basis of these staining reactions. There was no consistent statistically significant difference between muscle from normal and muscle from susceptible swine with any system of fiber classification. This is contrary to several published reports but consistent with physiologic studies which indicate that both oxidative and glycolytic pathways are abnormally active during the onset of malignant hyperthermia.

Cat intrafusal muscle fibers were examined histochemically in serial transverse sections of tenuissimus muscle spindles. The "myofibrillar" adenosine triphosphatase staining reaction was used to recognize the nuclear bag and the nuclear chain fibers in 309 spindle poles. Poles of 40 nuclear chain fibers extended for 1,000 micrometer or more beyond the termination of the spindle capsule. These long chain fibers stained less intensely for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) than the typical chain fibers of shorter polar length. In sections stained for cholinesterases (ChE), the extracapsular regions of most long chain fibers displayed one or two short, dense "plate"-type ChE deposits, which may represent the terminals of skeleto-fusimotor axons. In addition, about one-third of the long chain fibers displayed one or more thinner and smaller areas of ChE activity, possibly corresponding to the endings of fusimotor axons. The overall ChE staining pattern of the typical chain fibers was unlike that of the long chains. However, some of the shorter nuclear chain fibers resembled long chain fibers with the NADH-TR reaction, even though their ChE "plates" were located intracapsularly. It is concluded that nuclear chain fibers in the cat spindle form a class of intrafusal fibers with heterogeneous histochemical properties, and that the long chain fibers represent one fiber subtype.

The profiles of fiber types in hindlimb muscles from the tree shrew (Tupaia glis), lesser bushbaby (Galago senegalensis), and the slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) were determined using histochemical techniques. Fibers were classified as fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (FOG), fast-twitch glycolytic (FG), slow-twitch oxidative (SO), or fast-twitch oxidative (FO), according to reactions for alkaline-stable ATPase, acid-stable ATPase, alpha-glucan phosphorylase, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase, succinate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (MaGPDH), and beta-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase, as well as glycogen staining by the periodic acid-Schiff technique. Prolonged dissection of numerous muscles was carried out on hindlimbs submersed in cold Tyrode's solution; such treatment had no qualitative effect on enzyme staining reactions, but it is not a suitable procedure if one wishes to stain for glycogen. Fast-twitch oxidative (FO) fibers are alkaline-stable ATPase-positive and possess low MalphaGPDH enzyme activity. These fibers have not been reported previously in any hindlimb muscles. No muscles of any species studies were homogeneous with respect to fiber type. Slow loris muscles lacked FG fibers. The majority of the muscles of the slow loris contained numerous SO fibers. The relationship between enzyme activities and locomotor pattern is discussed.

Muscle spindles were examined histochemically in serial transverse sections of cat tenuissimus muscles. The myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) staining reaction was used to identify nuclear bag1, bag2 and nuclear chain intrafusal muscle fibers. Regional differences in ATPase staining occurred along the bag1 and bag2 fibers but not along the chain fibers. All intrafusal fiber types displayed regional variability in staining for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR). Motor nerve terminals were demonstrated along the poles of bag1, bag2 and chain fibers by staining for cholinesterase (ChE). There was no consistent spatial correlation between the intensity of regional ATPase staining along the bag fibers and location, number or type of motor endings. However, most ChE deposits occurred in intrafusal fiber regions that displayed the greatest NADH-TR variability. Some fiber poles or whole intrafusal fibers were devoid of any ChE deposits but their ATPase and NADH-TR content was comparable to that of fibers bearing ChE deposits. The observations suggested that motor nerve fibers per se may not play a major role in determining the histoenzymatic content of intrafusal fibers.

The distribution of Type I and Type II fibers, as determined from histochemical estimation of myofibrillar ATPase activity, was studied within and among the locomotory muscles of the forelimb, trunk, and hindlimb of three mongrel dogs. All Type II fibers had high oxidative capacities as estimated from the histochemical assay for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase, so they were not further divided into subpopulations. Furthermore, Type I and Type II fibers had similar oxidative potentials as indicated by both histochemistry and biochemistry. Type I fiber populations ranged between 14% and 100% in the muscles sampled. The highest percentages of Type I fibers were found in deep muscles of physiological extensor groups in the arm and thigh that serve to resist gravity (antigravity muscles) when the dog is in the quadrupedal standing position. More superficial muscles in these same groups had fewer Type I fibers. The patterns of Type I fiber distribution among muscles in the antigravity groups of the forearm and leg were the opposite of those in the arm and thigh, with the more superficial muscles of the distal limb segments having more Type I fibers than the deeper muscles. In all limb segments, muscle groups that do not serve to resist gravity did not show as much intermuscular variation. Type I fiber populations in these muscles did not exceed 50%. A stratification of fiber types also existed within muscles, both in extensor and flexor groups, with the deeper portions of the muscles having more Type I fibers than the more superficial portions.
