The hepatocyte and haematopoietic cell contents of the liver of the foetal guinea pig were measured over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes represented about 30% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this increased to 70-80% by term; cell volume remained fairly constant until 5-7 days before term, then more than doubled. Haematopoietic cells represented about 5% of liver volume at mid-gestation and this progressively fell to <1% by term. At 75% of gestation hepatocytes and haematopoietic cells were prepared from perfused foetal livers by collagenase digestion. Enzyme activity of the hepatocyte was, without exception, similar to that of the whole liver. In general, enzyme activity in the haematopoietic cells was similar to that in erythrocytes, with relatively low values for aldolase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, ;malic' enzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. The haematopoietic cell contribution to total enzyme activity in the foetal liver was usually much less than 10% and could thus not account for the major changes in hepatic enzyme activity over the latter half of gestation. Hepatocytes contained hexokinase isoenzymes I and III, aldolase isoenzymes A and B and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 1, 2 and 4. The haematopoietic cells contained hexokinase isoenzyme I and two additional bands of activity with slightly greater mobility, aldolase isoenzyme A and pyruvate kinase isoenzymes 2 and 4.

Male rats were housed singly in metabolic cages, injected i.v. with cephaloridine, 24 h urine samples collected successively; then the rats were killed for obtaining the kidneys of corresponding animals. The concentrations of protein, aminopeptidase (AP), alkaline phosphatase (aPP), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), and aldolase (ALD) were determined in urine and the percentages of injured proximal tubules counted in sections stained for aPP. The results from individual animals were: (1) After placing animals singly in metabolic cages large but not systematic changes of urinary enzyme concentrations occurred. After 6-10 days the enzymes reached steady state levels. (2) After a single injection of cephaloridine a dose dependent injury of proximal tubules was observed, the urinary LDH content correlating best with the tubular injury (r greater than 0.93) and giving up to 1,000 fold increases above normal values. (3) A circadian rhythm of the susceptibility of rat kidney for cephaloridine was observed, the smallest response was seen when the animals were injected at 7 a.m. and the largest after injection at 7 p.m. (4) In subacute toxicity studies urinary LDH was increased on day 2 above the extent after a single dose, but declined on day 3 to reach normal levels after 8 to 10 days (time of sacrifice). The kidneys revealed practically normal histology. The other enzymes studied had also returned to normal values. This indicates some adaptation mechanism.

Extracts of the horse and sheep strains of Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis were compared on the basis of their isoenzyme patterns for 10 enzymes by means of isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels. The enzymes examined were: acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, phosphoglucoseisomerase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, aldolase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. Interspecific and intraspecific differences are apparent in the isoenzyme profiles of all the enzymes except adenylate kinase; the pattern and activity of adenylate kinase are identical for both strains of E. granulosus but this enzyme clearly distinguishes these forms from E. multilocularis. The absence of electromorphic variation in any of the enzymes from either form of E. granulosus may be a result of the self-fertilizing hermaphraditism of these organisms.

Various enzymes of glycolysis (hexokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase), the Krebs cycle (isocitrate, succinic and malate dehydrogenases), and the pentose phosphate cycle (glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases) were studied in buffalo spermatozoa by biochemical and cytochemical methods. The enzymes of glycolysis were found to be loosely bound whereas those of the Krebs and pentose phosphate cycles were strongly bound to mitochondrial membranes. All the enzymes studied were localized histochemically in the mid-piece.

Studies on organ homogenates of 22 one-year-old healthy geese indicated ubiquiternal distribution of GOT and GPT transaminases, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline and acid phosphatase, aldolase and kreatine phosphokinase, without the presence of any pronounced organ specificity of some of the named enzymes. It is presumed that the investigation on these enzymes in goose blood serum can be of use only for determining the degree and the course of a given disease, but not for organ-localization of the disease's process.

The present study was designed to analyze the effects of a short term stress on the quantitative levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP), creatine phosphokinase (CK), aldolase (ALD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and lactate dehydrogenase-1-isoenzyme (LDH 1) during 24 h after stress. For all the enzymes studied higher values for the activity were found due to stress in comparison to the activity level before the stress. The period during the 24 h after stress to reach maximum activity depends on the enzyme and in part on the sex of the animal.

The changes in the sarcoplasmic proteins of the m. gastrocnemius and m. soleus were examined by biochemical methods on the 5th, 7th, 14th and 28th days after plaster cast immobilization of the right hind limbs of adult rabbits. During 4 weeks the soluble/myofibrillar protein ratio increased from 0.47 to 0.75 in the m. gastrocnemius, and to 0.85 in the m. soleus. Evaluation of the relative quantities of the components identified after gel-electrophoresis separation led to the following results: (1) There was no, or no appreciable change in the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase and enolase activities. (2) The enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase and the glycogenolytic enzymes showed a relative decrease in both muscles. (3) Phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglucose isomerase and pyruvate kinase increased in both muscles. (4) Changes of opposite directions were exhibited by myoglobin, myokinase and F-protein. These results provide new data on the biochemical characterization of these functionally different muscles, and on the mechanism of disuse atrophy.

Several glycolytic enzymes were observed to have between 40-90% of their activities associated with the particulate fractions of lysed nerve endings. The enzymes showing high particulate activity in lysed nerve endings were hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.27). With the exception of phosphofructokinase, 80% or more of the particle associated activity of each enzyme was solubilized by salt treatment indicating the association with particles was ionic. Sub-fractionation of lysed nerve endings showed hexokinase and fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) had the highest specific activity in the same fractions which is consistent with observations indicating that hexokinase is associated with mitochondria. The other glycolytic zymes having high particulate activity, aldolase, glucosephosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, showed enrichment in fractions containing synaptosomal membranes, i.e. the fractions having highest specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3).

After irradiation of chick embryos and chicks (1,000 rad), the activity of some erythrocyte enzymes undergoes significant changes. During the 1st day after irradiation of chick embryos, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase leucine aminopeptidase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase decreases. At the 3rd day, the decrease in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase is also observed. In irradiated chicks, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, leucine aminopeptidase and aldolase decreases within the 1st and the 3rd days, the decrease being most significant for the former two enzymes. At later period (10 and 15 days after irradiation), most significant decrease was found in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The activity of the same enzymes in the blood plasma of irradiated embryos and chicks increases, the increase being most evident for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Experimental head injuries, which are easily reproducible in animal studies with guinea pigs, result in a significant increase of secondary serum enzymes. Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), fructose 1,6-diphosphate-aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), together with the isoenzymes 1 and 2, are found especially in brain in large amounts. These enzymes act as 'tracer substances' of cerebral tissue and show significantly increased serum activities in cases where acute substantial damage to the brain associated with severe alterations of the blood-brain barrier is found. In the absence of shock, hypoxia and additional bodily injuries the loss of brain tissue has to be considered the only source of enzyme outflow. The early treatment of injured animals with high doses of dexamethasone results in a protective and stabilizing effect, preventing the extrusion of enzymes from the traumatically involved brain cells. Thus by observing the characteristic serum enzyme activities of treated and untreated injured animals a therapeutic effect of dexamethasone can be demonstrated within a relatively short time.
