A mathematical model is proposed to describe the interaction between glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and 3-oxidation (beta OX). The model incorporates the activations of phosphofructokinase by AMP and of isocitrate dehydrogenase by ADP as well as the inhibitions of citrate synthase by citrate, of acyl CoA synthase by excess CoAsAcyl, of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and the beta OX helix by the products CoAsAc and NADH. These regulations have been shown to provide consecutive triggering of the fatty acid and glucose oxidation systems with an increase in the ATPase load, the beta OX of fatty acids being a major source of energy at small loads. The steady state rates of glycolysis and PDH-reaction begin to increase at larger loads when the rate of beta OX is close to its maximum value. At maximum ATPase loads, the glucose oxidation accounts for more than 80% of the total energy production. Under limited fatty acid supply, the transfer to glucose oxidation gives rise to a region of the ATPase loads, where in the steady state levels of NADH and CoAsAc increase with load.

Skeletal limb muscles of the dog could generally be differentiated into three fibre types according to myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (pH 9.4) and succinic dehydrogenase activities. However, because this was not always possible, for comparative purposes only, division into low myosin ATPase (slow twitch) type I and high myosin ATPase (fast twitch) type II fibres was used. The percentage of these fibre types in m deltoideus, m triceps brachii caput longum, m vastus lateralis, m gluteus medius, m biceps femoris and m semitendinosus was examined in the greyhound, crossbred and foxhound. In all muscles the greyhound had a significantly higher percentage of fibres with high myosin ATPase activity at pH 9.4 than the other breeds, with almost 100 per cent in most muscles examined. The activities of nine enzymes and glycogen concentration were determined in m gluteus medius and m semitendinosus of the greyhound and crossbred. Significantly higher levels of creatine kinase, aldolase, alanine aminotransferase and citrate synthase and significantly lower activities of 3-hydroxyacyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase and hexokinase were found in both muscles of the greyhound. The implications of these findings are discussed.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of thyroid hormonal deficiency on (1) standard (SMR) and maximal (VO2max) rates of O2 consumption, (2) tissue glycolytic and oxidative capacities and (3) submaximal locomotory endurance in a lizard (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). Surgical thyroidectomy induced hypothyroidism in all animals as determined by levels of plasma thyroxine. Hypothyroid lizards had lower levels of SMR (-48%), VO2max (-16%) and citrate synthase activity in liver, heart and skeletal muscle compared to controls. There was a correlated decrease in locomotory endurance in thyroid-deficient animals. Pyruvate kinase activity (an index of glycolytic capacity) in all tissues, and myofibrillar ATPase activity (an index of contractile velocity) in white iliofibularis muscle, showed no significant changes in thyroid-deficient animals. Thyroid hormones appear to be important in ultimately establishing an animal's capacity for locomotory endurance. These findings suggest a new selective context for understanding the evolution of thyroid function.

Anaerobic threshold (AT) and maximum oxygen uptake (max VO2) were determined in 15 young female cross-country skiers, aged 15--20 years, during incremental bycycle ergometer exercise. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), citrate synthase (CS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were analyzed biochemically and percentage of slow twitch fibres (%ST fibres, myosin adenosine triphosphatase staining) histochemically in muscle samples obtained from m. vastus lateralis. Max VO2 correlated significantly with anaerobic threshold in ml x kg-1 x min-1 (mlAT) but when AT was expressed in percent of max VO2 (%AT) the correlation was insignificant. Significant correlations were found between %AT and SDH (r = 0.63) and between mlAT and CS (r = 0.58). Max VO2 showed no significant correlations with the enzymes studied or %ST fibres. The results of the study seem to support the hypothesis that anaerobic threshold is related to oxidative capacity of muscle.

Muscle cell fiber types in gracilis, rectus femoris, and long head of triceps brachii muscles of ferrets and dogs were identified on serial sections stained for myosin ATPase after preincubation at pH values of 9.8, 4.6, and 4.3 and for NADH-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) activity. Although fiber types I and II were identified, the ATPase stain did not demonstrate classic type IIA/IIB fiber differences in either species. However, two type II fiber subtypes could be distinguished in the ferret because they differed slightly in staining intensity with ATPase at pH 4.3 and markedly with NADH-TR. One ferret type II fiber (designated II dark or IID) was smaller, slightly darker on ATPase, more oxidative on NADH-TR, and comprised more muscle volume than the other type II fiber (designated II light IIL). The IID fibers of ferret may represent the IID/X fibers of other authors. Both ferret type II fiber subtypes stained darker at pH 4.3 than canine II fibers. The NADH-TR staining indicated high oxidative activity in canine and ferret type I fibers. In contrast, type II fibers in the dog and IIL fibers in the ferret were moderately oxidative. Canine type IIC fibers were intermediate between type I and type II, whereas in the ferret, type IIC fibers were highly oxidative, as were type IID fibers. Ferret muscles are more oxidative than canine muscles according to NADH-TR staining. Also, ferret muscles possess 40-100% higher citrate synthase activity as compared to canine muscles.

The activities of three mitochondrial oxidative enzymes (citrate synthase, 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and Na-K-ATPase were microassayed in isolated segments of the rat proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and medullary thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (mTAL). The effects of adrenalectomy (ADX) and ADX plus exogenous glucocorticoids were analyzed. The hormonal replacement was daily injections of dexamethasone (10 micrograms/100 g body weight/24 h) for 5 days. ADX lowered the activity of all oxidative enzymes studies in the mTAL, but not in the PCT and led to a decrease in Na-K-ATPase in both nephron segments. Dexamethasone restored the normal level of oxidative enzymes and Na-K-ATPase in the mTAL and of Na-K-ATPase in the PCT. We conclude that the activities of citrate synthase, 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and of Na-K-ATPase are coordinately regulated in the mTAL and that glucocorticoids are essential for the long-term regulation of these enzyme activities in this nephron segment. In contrast, the activities of mitochondrial oxidative enzymes are not influenced by glucocorticoids in the PCT. This study presents the first evidence for a cell-specific regulation by glucocorticoids of oxidative metabolism in the nephron of adult rat kidney.

Samples were taken at slaughter from heart and both locomotor and nonlocomotor muscles from animals of similar body weight but adapted to different levels of activity: three horses and three steers. All samples were analyzed biochemically to measure the activity of key metabolic enzymes. The skeletal muscles were analyzed histochemically for fibre type composition, fibre area and capillary supply. The general pattern of differences in fibre type composition and metabolic profile between muscle groups was similar in both horses and steers. The hearts of both species had high citrate synthase (CS), 3-OH-acylCoA-dehydrogenase (HAD) and hexokinase (HK) and low lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities. In both species, deep portions of muscles and muscles localized deeper in the body had a more oxidative metabolic profile than superficial portions and muscles. Taking all muscles into account, it was found that CS and HAD were higher and LDH lower in horse than in steer muscles. Horse muscles contained more type IIA fibres and had a higher capillary supply than steer muscles. There was no difference between the two species regarding mean fibre area. The adaptation of the horse to a higher level of activity in comparison with steers was reflected in a higher oxidative capacity, better vascularization and a larger proportion of type IIA fibres. It was also obvious from these results that the ATPase fibre-typing system does not reflect the metabolic profile of a muscle.

CBL/57 strain db/db mice exhibit type II (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes. The affected mice are markedly hyperinsulinemic, hyperglycemic, and hypercholesterolemic, and their serum K+ levels are decreased. The brains of the diabetic mice are significantly smaller than those of their lean, control littermates, but the protein concentration is normal. The low brain weight is accompanied by a loss of major fatty acid components within the whole brain, nerve endings, and mitochondrial membranes. Cholesterol levels are low in whole brain but are not significantly different from normal in the synaptosomal membranes. The phospholipid concentration is significantly decreased in whole brain homogenates, crude synaptosomal membranes, and crude mitochondrial membranes of the diabetic mice. In addition, the specific activities of membrane-bound synaptosomal acetylcholinesterase, Na+,K(+)-ATPase, and Mg(2+)-ATPase are decreased in crude synaptosomal membranes of the diabetic mice. The specific activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and carnitine acetyltransferase are significantly increased in the crude mitochondrial fraction isolated from the brains of the type II diabetic mice, whereas the specific activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is decreased. The specific activities of two other mitochondrial enzymes--monoamine oxidase B and citrate synthase--and a cytosolic enzyme--lactate dehydrogenase--are unaltered. The ability to synthesize cyclic AMP is markedly decreased in the brains of the diabetic mice. The concentrations of carnitine and of the amino acids, glutamate, aspartate, glutamine, and serine are unaltered, whereas glycine levels are significantly elevated in the brains of the db/db mice. The data suggest that in vivo the brains of the diabetic mice exhibit a decreased capacity for glucose oxidation and increased capacity for fatty acid oxidation. This hypothesis is supported by the finding that cerebral mitochondria isolated from the db/db mice oxidize [1-14C]palmitate to 14CO2 at a rate almost twice that of control mitochondria. The present findings emphasize the potentially serious alteration of brain metabolism in uncontrolled type II diabetes.

The postnatal development of the complexes of the electron transport chain in isolated rat brain mitochondria were investigated. Nonsynaptosomal brain mitochondria were isolated from rats aged 1-60 days, and the activities of mitochondrial complexes I, II-III, IV, V and citrate synthase were measured. There was a significant increase in the activity of complex I from postnatal day 1 to day 21, and in the activities of complex II-III, complex IV and citrate synthase from postnatal day 1 to day 60. In contrast, the activity of complex V increased significantly between postnatal day 1 and day 10 where it attained adult levels. These data are consistent with the increasing demand for mitochondrial ATP production as the brain develops and as aerobic glycolysis becomes the major pathway for energy production.

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is associated with derangement of myocardial sarcoplasmic Ca-homeostasis and energy production. The molecular mechanism for these changes is unknown. Accordingly, we used genetic and experimentally-induced models of canine dilated cardiomyopathy and tested the hypothesis that these metabolic changes resulted from altered gene expression, as indicated by mRNA content. We studied dilated cardiomyopathy occurring naturally (n = 9) in Doberman pinschers, and in dogs subjected to rapid ventricular pacing (n = 5), in comparison with normal dogs (n = 9). We determined content and integrity of mRNA's using Northern and slot blotting, and measured activities of their translated product for the Ca-release channel and Ca-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, lactate dehydrogenase of glycolysis, citrate synthase of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and for myoglobin, ATP-synthetase and the adenine nucleotide transporter, which are integral in oxidative phosphorylation. We found that, whereas both mRNA content and enzyme activity for markers of Ca-cycling, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation were downregulated (20-80%) in dilated cardiomyopathy, they were upregulated (10-15%) for tricarboxylic acid cycling and for ribosomal RNA. RNA from cardiomyopathic tissue was up to 50% more degraded than for normal hearts in association with a 150% increase in ribonuclease activity. Downregulation of the Ca-cycle was asymmetric, with the Ca-channel being 65% more affected than the Ca-ATPase. This work supports the general paradigm that transcriptional and translational responses to pathophysiology are major determinants of the metabolic response seen in cardiac failure.
