In the presence of Uropolinum (sodium and N-methylglucamine diatrizoate) the lactate production of erythrocytes was decreased in half of the cases studied. The addition of albumin showed a protective effect on glycolysis of red blood cells. A decrease in glutathione reductase and increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was observed in all cases. Acethylcholinesterase activity was unaffected by Uropolinum. The activities of phosphohexose isomerase, phosphofructokinase. aldolase and ATP-ase were decreased in some subjects and increased in the others. It may be attributed to individual sensitivity of some subjects to diatrizoates and is consistent with clinical observations.

Enzyme abnormalities are frequently found in the red cells of patients with various acquired blood disorders. In leukaemias, preleukaemic states and bone marrow insufficiencies with or without sideroblastosis, changes in enzyme activity are usually characterized by the coexistence of deficiency of some enzymes and an increased activity of others. The most frequently decreased activities are those of pyruvate kinase, phosphofructokinase,2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase and adenylate kinase; the most frequently increased activities are those of hexokinase, aldolase, enolase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. In primary myelofibrosis and in polycythaemia rubra vera, enzyme deficiencies are infrequent and differ from those observed in leukaemias and related disorders. Phosphohexose isomerase and phosphoglucomutase deficiencies seem relatively specific for polycythaemia rubra vera. Explanations for the acquired enzymopathies are still at the stage of hypothesis. The theory of multiple genetic damage may explain some findings but has not yet been proved right. The possibility of post-translational molecular modification is suggested as a working hypothesis.

The erythrocytes of 350 pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) were examined for electrophoretic variation of hemoglobin and 26 enzymes. Seven enzymes showed variation in more than 1% of individuals: phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphoglucomutase-1, soluble NADP-dependent isocitric dehydrogenase, peptidase A, peptidase C, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, and acid phosphatase. Variation with lesser frequency was found in soluble glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, phosphoglycerate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin. Only eight samples were tested for esterase D, and one of these had a variant phenotype. Enzymes with no clear variation were adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, phosphoglycerate mutase, phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase), phosphoglucomutase-3, and superoxide dismutase. There was father-to-son transmission of PGI, PGM-1, peptidase C, 6PGD, 2,3-DPGAM, NADP-ICD, and acid phosphatase variants, suggesting that these loci are autosomal as in man.

The dynamics of glycolysis and glycogenolysis in the postnatal period, determined from the accumulation of lactate in the homogenate of the heart muscle, indicates that the glycolytic activity begins to subside right after the birth and becomes constant after a lapse of 15-20 days. The activity of the phosphorylase, phosphohexoisomerase, enolase and pyruvate-kinase in the heart muscle extract was found to remain virtually unchanged. Some decline is noted in the activity of the aldolase and hexokinase, while that of the phosphofructokinase and lactate-dehydrogenase rises by 50-60 per cent. These data suggest that in the early ontogenesis the increasing capacity of the mitochondrial system in the heart muscle is paralled by an adjustable conditioned inhibition of the glycolytic phosphorylation, with concurrently rising activity of the phosphofructokinas and, consequently, also of the potential capacity of glycolysis and glycogenolysis.

The hydrophobic nature of proteins is characterized by a degree of 2-p-toluidinonaphthalene-6-sulphonate (TNS) affinity to them and is pronounced quantitatively in the semi-saturated (C1/2) concentrations. This index correlates directly with the position of TNS emission maximum after the binding with proteins and reversely with the yield of fluorescence. The preparations of phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, xantinoxidase, glyceratekinase, lysozyme, RNase during the long (1-2 h) contact with TNS change the values C1/2, that evidences for interaction with the hydrophobic indicator of new structures of protein molecule or for a change in the nature of its linkage itself. An attempt is made to characterize the accessible for TNS hydrophobic nature of individual proteins by a coefficient of molar hydrophobic nature which unites three mentioned characteristics. Serum albumin, insulin, glucogon, alpha chemotrypsin, DNase are most hydrophobic, pyruvate kinase, aldolase, urease, RNase--least hydrophobic, Glycerate kinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, xanthinoxidase, trypsin, lysozyme are in intermediate position.

In order to elucidate the effects of amphotericin B (AMB) on the glycolytic pathway, the metabolism of [1-13C]glucose in glucose-grown repressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The cells were aerobically suspended in pyrophosphate solutions of high potassium concentration with or without 10(-6) M amphotericin B and measurements were made using 1H-, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and biochemical methods. The results were compared with those obtained under the same experimental conditions but in a medium rich in sodium salts containing the same antibiotic concentration. In general the presence of 10(-6) M AMB reduces the glucose consumption and the ethanol production while favouring the glycerol and trehalose formation. These effects are greatly reduced when a high K+ concentration was used. The AMB effects on the glucose consumption and the production of ethanol, glycerol and trehalose, observed in a suspension rich in Na+, can be fairly well explained by the leakage of K+ through AMB membrane channels. This outflux induces a substantial decrease in the activity of some K(+)-dependent enzymes, such as aldolase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase. The intensities of the glutamate C2 and C4 signals are higher with a suspension rich in Na+ than with a suspension rich in K+, suggesting that the Krebs cycle operates more effectively in a solution rich in Na+. In the absence of AMB, the passive diffusion of glycerol through the cell membrane is relatively slow and apparently depends on the ionic external medium: it is more efficient in solutions with a high K+ than with a high Na+ concentration. In the presence of 10(-6) M AMB, the glycerol C1,3 resonance drastically decreases at 20 min and then disappears in the noise. This rapid disappearance suggests that glycerol can easily pass through the pores arising from the interaction of AMB with the membrane sterols. However, the rate of pore formation is slow, independent of the external medium (Na+ or K+) and this process is not completed within 20 min.

Immunoaffinity chromatography was employed to identify potential plant cytosolic aldolase (ALDc) binding proteins. A clarified homogenate of carrot storage root was chromatographed on a column of protein-A-Sepharose that had been covalently coupled to anti-(carrot root ALDc) immunoglobulin G. The column was washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), followed by step-wise elution with increasing concentrations of NaCl in PBS. Several proteins were eluted following application of the salt gradient. Western blotting identified the major eluting proteins to be the PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFP) and the cytosolic form of the ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFKc), enzymes that are metabolically sequential to ALDc. The results suggest that ALDc may specifically interact with PFP and PFKc in carrots.

1. Haematology, red cell metabolism and blood chemistry of five fledgeling black-faced cormorants Leucocarbo fuscescens were studied and the results were compared with previously reported data on several other sea-birds. 2. The mean erythrocyte count of the cormorant is similar to that of penguins but lower than that of flying, non-diving sea-birds. The cormorant's red cell mean cell volume (MCV) is lower than that of penguins but higher than that of non-diving sea-birds. 3. Leucocyte numbers are within expected limits for avian species. 4. Red cell enzymes: glucose phosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase and enolase are higher in the cormorant than in the little penguin; glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, monophosphoglyceromutase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and glutathione reductase are lower. 5. Haemoglobin electrophoresis showed a typical avian haemoglobin pattern.

1. Time-curves of insulin effects on energy-producing systems in different cellular compartments of rat diaphragm muscle have revealed: (a) a rapid (within minutes) and transient stimulatory effect of insulin on cytoskeletal phosphofructokinase and aldolase and mitochondrial hexokinase. (b) A slower and consistent stimulatory effect on glucose 1,6-bisphosphate level, with concomitant gradual activation of cytosolic phosphofructokinase. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels were not changed by insulin. (c) Lactate concentration correlated with the stimulation of cytoskeletal and cytosolic glycolysis. 2. Calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperazine or CGS 9343B, prevented all these effects of insulin. 3. These results suggest that cytoskeletal glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidation are the source of ATP for the rapid actions of insulin, whereas cytosolic glycolysis is the source of ATP for the slow actions of insulin. Calmodulin is involved in all these effects of insulin.

This is a report investigating the methylglyoxal (MG) bypass in animals, by which D-lactate is produced from triosephosphate via MG. Rats were made diabetic using streptozotocin or starved for 72 h. D-Lactate and various metabolites related to it, such as L-lactate, pyruvate, methylglyoxal, glucose, and inorganic phosphate, were measured in the blood plasma, liver, and skeletal muscle of the rats. Diabetic and starved rats had significantly higher levels of D-lactate in plasma, liver, and skeletal muscle compared with the control group. In contrast, pyruvate levels in plasma, liver, and skeletal muscle was markedly lower than normal in diabetic and starved rats. L-Lactate level lowered markedly in plasma, liver, and skeletal muscle of starved rats and elevated in liver of diabetic rats. Differences between plasma L-lactate level for diabetes and control were not significant. MG level was significantly elevated in plasma and depressed in livers and muscles of starved rats as well as livers of diabetic rats. Hepatic glycerol content was markedly increased in those states. Enzyme activities related to D- and L-lactate, such as pyruvate kinase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, and glyoxalase I, were measured in the livers of these rats. Pyruvate kinase activity decreased in these states, but other enzyme activities showed no significant changes. D-Lactate was much more excreted than L-lactate in the urine of diabetic and fasted rats compared with normal rats.
