Administration of 60,000 i.e. of vitamin A into rats within three weeks caused an increase in amount of reticulocytes, in the rate of glucose utilization and in formation of lactic acid by erythrocytes. The activity of glycolytic enzymes was intensified. The activity of hexokinase was increased by 84.6%, activities of aldolase and phosphohexoisomerase were increased by 34%. But in the erythrocytes content of AMP, ADP and ATP was unaltered, probably due to activation of total and Na+, K+-dependent ATPase. The harmful effect of an excess of the vitamin A was manifested in an increased content of Na+ in erythrocytes and also in decreased stability of the cells to acid hemolytics.

The authors studied the histochemical alterations of human skeletal muscles after tenotomy and after spontaneous rupture of the tendon. Both succinate dehydrogenase (in type I fibers), and myofibrillar ATP-ase (in type 2 fibers) activity was decreased in all injured muscles. In the intact antagonists and contralateral muscles alterations were not found. The creatine phosphokinase and aldolase activity were decreased also in injured muscles. The lactate dehydrogenase activity was various both in affected and in unaffected muscles. Two weeks or more after the injury of the tendon in injured muscles the number of type 1 fibers were decreased and therefore a mathematically significant type 2 fibre predominance occurred. Atrophy involve both type 1 and type 2 fibers, but type 1 fibre atrophy was more pronunced as type 2 fibre atrophy.

The activity of glycolysis and glyconeogenesis enzymes, content of carbohydrate and nitrogen compounds were studied in muscles of 15-month cattle of different sex of the black-piebald breed and its crosses with bulls of two meat breeds Hereford and Limousine. In the muscles of bulls the activity of phosphoglucomutase, phosphohexoisomerase, aldolase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase is considerably higher (except of the activity of phosphoglucomutase and phosphohexoisomerase in the muscles of pure-bred black-piebald animals for which difference is not statistically reliable) and the content of glycogen, glucose, fructose, lactic acid, free and phosphorylated pentoses of nonadenylic compounds is essentially lower than in the muscle tissue of heifers of analogous breed groups. A higher activity of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes (especially aldolase and fructose-1,6-diphosphate) and a higher content of total pentoses, the adenylic system pentoses, ATP phosphorus in the muscles of the cross Limousine and Hereford bulls and Limousine heifers as compared to the pure-bred black-piebald animals of the corresponding sex coincide with a greater increase in the muscular tissue and more intensive synthesis of proteins in it. A considerably lower level of glycogen, glucose, fructose and a relatively high activity of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes in the muscles of cross young cattle show that disintegration of these carbohydrates is in excess of their synthesis, that is due to an increase in the energy demand connected with a more intensive synthesis of proteins in the muscular tissue. Therefore, in the authors opinion the performed kill of the cross Limousine and Hereford bulls as well as Limousine heifers, is somewhat untimely and unreasonable. At the same time the activity of all the studied enzymes in the muscles of the cross Hereford heifers, vice versa, is considerably lower as compared to the black-piebald heifers and coincides with a low gain in live weight and muscular tissue, a more rapid accumulation of glycogen and lipids and a more delayed--of proteins in the muscular tissue, that evidences for their early maturity. Therefore the further raising of the cross Hereford heifers in the farm for obtaining meat is economically less profitable. The data obtained give grounds to recommend determination of the activity of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes, especially of aldolase and fructose-1,6-diphosphate, as a test for checking the muscular tissue growth and for prognosing the meat productivity in the growing pure-bred and cross young cattle of different sex.

1. Oral administration of ethanol (3 ml) of 95% in 12 ml total volume over a two day period) significantly decrease plasma glucose and insulin levels and the activities of two key gluconeogenic enzymes, pyruvate carboxylase (pyruvate: CO2 ligase (ADP), EC 6.4.1.1) and fructose diphosphatase, (D-Fru-1,6-P2 1-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.11), and one glycolytic enzyme, fructose-1,6-P2 aldolase (Fru-1,6-P2 D-glyceraldehyde-3-P lyase, EC 4.1.2.13). In each instance, the administration of 2400 mug daily of oral folate in conjuction with the ethanol prevented these alterations in carbohydrate metabolism. 2. Intravenous injection of ethanol produced a rapid decrease (within 10--15 min) in the activities of hepatic phosphofructokinase, (ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.11), pyruvate kinase, (ATP:pyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40), fructose diphosphatase and fructose-1,6-P2 aldolase. 3. Intravenous ethanol significantly increased hepatic cyclic AMP concentration approximately 60% within 10 min, while oral ethanol did not alter hepatic cyclic AMP concentrations. 4. These data confirm the known antagonism ethanol and folate and suggest that oral folate might offer a protective effect against hypoglycemia in rats receiving ethanol.

1. The regulation of glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation under varying conditions of ATP and oxygen consumption was studied in isolated perfused rat hearts. Potassium-induced arrest was employed to inhibit the ATP consumption of the heart. 2. Under the experimental conditions, the beating heart used solely glucose as the oxidisable substrate. The glycolytic flux through the aldolase step decreased in pace with the decreasing oxygen consumption during the potassium-induced arrest of the heart. The decrease in glucose oxidation was larger than the inhibition of the oxygen consumption, suggesting that the arrested heart switches to fatty acid oxidation. The time course and percentage changes of the inhibition of pyruvate oxidation and the decrease in the amount of the active form of pyruvate dehydrogenase suggest that the amount of active pyruvate dehydrogenase is the main regulator of pyruvate oxidation in the perfused heart. 3. To test the relative significance of the possible mechanisms regulating covalent interconversions of pyruvate dehydrogenase, the following parameters were measured in response to the potassium-induced cardiac arrest: concentrations of pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, CoA-SH, citrate, alpha-oxoglutarate, ATP, ADP, AMP, creatine, creatine phosphate and inorganic phosphate and the mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ ratio. In cardiac tissue the adenylate system is not a good indicator of the energy state of the mitochondrion, even when the concentrations of AMP and free cytosolic ADP are calculated from the adenylate kinase and creatine kinase equilibria. Only creatine phosphate and inorganic phosphate undergo significant changes, but evidence of the participation of the latter compounds in the regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase interconversions is lacking. The potassium-induced arrest of the heart resulted in a decrease in pyruvate, a slight increase in acetyl-CoA, a large increase in the concentration of citrate and an increase in the mitochondrial NADH/NAD+. The results can be interpreted as showing that in the heart, the pyruvate dehydrogenase interconversions are mainly regulated by the pyruvate concentration and the mitochondrial redox state. Concentrations of all the regulators tested shifted to directions which one would expect to result in a decrease in the amount of active pyruvate dehydrogenase, but the changes were quite small. Therefore, the energy-linked regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase in intact tissue is possibly mediated by the equilibrium relations between the cellular redox state and the phosphorylation potential recently confirmed in cardiac tissue.

The aldolase activity was measured using two substrates fructose-I-phosphate (FIP) and fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) in the supernatant fraction of homogenates of different mice organs (liver, muscle, brain) and hepatoma tissues during growth of hepatoma 22a. Kinetic parameters Km and Vmax were calsulated. The most essential changes in the activity of aldolase were found during the latent and terminal stares of the hepatoma development. The changes in the aldolase activity observed during development of hepatoma 22a were characterized by altered substrate specificity VFDP /VFIP activity gatio). This ratio was not changed distinctly in liver tissue; in muscles the value decreased from 50 (tumor-free control) to 15 during terminal stages; in brain, to the contrary, it was increased from 20 to 50. The values of Km, Vmax and VFDP /VFIP were similar both in the hepatoma at the eleventh day and in normal brain tissue. The specific inhibition of FDP aldolase activity by ATP was found. Substitution of aldolase B by aldolase AC apparantly ossurred in hepatoma 22a. The data obtained suggest that alteration in the parameters studied may be due to variation in the ration of isozymes.

Alterations of the sceletal muscles after spontaneous rupture of the tendon were studied. It was established that after the rupture of the tendon in the muscle activity of the succinedehydrogenase, myofibrillar ATP-ase, creatinphosphokinase and aldolase markedly decreases. After the rupture of the tendon alteration of the proportion of various types of fibers may also be observed i.e. the rate of the fibres of type I considerably decreases. Electron microscopic findings indicate that alterations of the musculature are diffuse first of all elements of contractility are damaged: atrophy and rupture of them can be seen. Fibres of normal ultrastructure were not found at all, which indicates that both types of fibres I and II are equally damaged.

1. The effect of alpha-chlorohydrin on the metabolism of glycolytic and tricarboxylate-cycle substrates by ram spermatozoa was investigated. The utilization and oxidation of fructose and triose phosphate were much more sensitive to inhibition by alpha-chlorohydrin (0.1-1.0mm) than lactate or pyruvate. Inhibition of glycolysis by alpha-chlorohydrin is concluded to be between triose phosphate and pyruvate formation. Oxidation of glycerol was not as severely inhibited as that of the triose phosphate. This unexpected finding can be explained in terms of competition between glycerol and alpha-chlorohydrin. A second, much less sensitive site, of alpha-chlorohydrin inhibition appears to be associated with production of acetyl-CoA from exogenous and endogenous fatty acids. 2. Measurement of the glycolytic intermediates after incubation of spermatozoal suspensions with 15mm-fructose in the presence of 3mm-alpha-chlorohydrin showed a ;block' in the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate into 3-phosphoglycerate. alpha-Chlorohydrin also caused conversion of most of the ATP in spermatozoa into AMP. After incubation with 3mm-alpha-chlorohydrin, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and triose phosphate isomerase activities were decreased by approx. 90% and 80% respectively, and in some experiments aldolase was also inhibited. Other glycolytic enzymes were not affected by a low concentration (0.3mm) of alpha-chlorohydrin. Loss of motility of spermatozoa paralleled the decrease in glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. alpha-Chlorohydrin, however, did not inhibit glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase or triose phosphate isomerase in sonicated enzyme preparations when added to the assay cuvette. 3. Measurement of intermediates and glycolytic enzymes in ejaculated spermatozoa before, during and after injection of rams with alpha-chlorohydrin (25mg/kg body wt.) confirmed a severe block in glycolysis in vivo at the site of triose phosphate conversion into 3-phosphoglycerate within 24h of the first injection. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was no longer detectable and both aldolase and triose phosphate isomerase were severely inhibited. Spermatozoal ATP decreased by 92% at this time, being quantitatively converted into AMP. At 1 month after injection of alpha-chlorohydrin glycolytic intermediate concentrations returned to normal in the spermatozoa but ATP was still only 38% of the pre-injection concentration. Motility of spermatozoa was, however, as good as during the pre-injection period. The activity of the inhibited enzymes also returned to normal during the recovery period and 26 days after injection were close to pre-injection values. 4. An unknown metabolic product of alpha-chlorohydrin is suggested to inhibit glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and triose phosphate isomerase of spermatozoa. This results in a lower ATP content, motility and fertility of the spermatozoa. Glycidol was shown not to be an active intermediate of alpha-chlorohydrin in vitro.

Adenylate cyclase from purified beef thyroid membranes has been solubilized by the use of Triton N-101 after preactivation with guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)-triphosphate. The soluble activity passed a 0.22- micron filter, was not sedimented at 100,000 X g for 2 h, and behaved like aldolase in sucrose density gradients and on Sepharose 6B. From comparison of the sedimentation in D2O and H2O the partial specific volume was found to be like that of globular proteins (0.75 +/- 0.006), hence little detergent appeared to be bound to the enzyme. The sedimentation coefficient was 7.4 +/- 0.15, the Stokes radius 45 A, and the molecular weight 159,000. Prestimulation by thyrotropin did not survive solubilization. The stimulation produced by guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate persisted as did the more active state resulting from pretreatment with both this nucleotide plus thyrotropin. Thyrotropin did not stimulate the solubilized enzyme. The Km for ATP, thermal stability, and inhibition by Ca2+ were identical for the membrane-bound and soluble enzyme, while the pH optimum was increased 0.5 unit in the latter. Polyanions and phenothiazines inhibited both preparations equally, whereas only membranes responded to stimulation by polylysine and ribonuclease.

In 38 patients with chronic renal insufficiency of different degree of severity examinations of the stationary concentration of the adenine nucleotides in the erythrocytes were carried out. It was shown that in the red blood cells of uraemics a genuine increase of the concentration of these compounds occurs, in which case the adenosine triphosphate dominates absolutely as well as relatively. In individual cases erytho-cyctic ATP-values of more than 3 micron mol pro ml cells may be achieved. The increase of the ATP-concentration in the red blood cells correlates with the degree of severity of the renal insufficiency and the renal anaemia. The hyperphosphataemia occurring as a rule in renal insuficiency is of causal importance for the increase of ATP. By a consecutive increase of the intracellular phosphate level and by influence on different steps of enzymes (phosphofructokinase, aldolase, glycerin aldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase) and changed regulations it effected an activation of the glycolysis. The increase of the plasma adenine and plasma adenosine concentration plays apparantly an accessory role for the increase of the concentration of the adenine nucleotides existing in the erythrocytes. Together with an increased concentration of 2,3-diphosphogycerate (2,3-DPG) the increase of the ATP-level has an effect on the oxygen transport function function of haemoglobin in the sense of a facilitation of the O2-output. These processes explain the relative adaption of patients with chronic renal insufficiency to renal anaemias of partly high degree.
