Submission of a rat liver homogenate made in 250 mM sucrose-1 mM EDTA to centrifugation between 9,500 times g for 10 min and 105,000 times g for 60 min results in the sedimentation of 60 to 70% of the total cellular fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13). Under these conditions only about one-quarter of the total triose phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase appears in the microsomal fraction. Ultrastructural immunologic localization techniques have demonstrated that the aldolase is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, in situ. The binding of this enzyme to the membrane is sensitive to changes in pH with an optimum at 6.0, and to increasing concentrations of NaCl and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, being about 100-fold more sensitive to the ester than to the inorganic salt.

Ionol, a synthetic antioxidant, limits the stressor liver injury to a greater extent than sodium, valproate and phenazepam, activators of a GABA-ergic link of the stress-limiting organism systems. This injury is exhibited in the organospecific elevated levels of blood enzymes fructosediphosphate aldolase depression of N-demethylase activity of microsomal monooxygenases and a decrease in the amount of cytochromes P-450 and B5.

The presence of glycolytic enzymes and a GLUT-1-type glucose transporter in rod and cone outer segments was determined by enzyme activity assays, glucose uptake measurements, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence microscopy. Enzyme activities of six glycolytic enzymes including hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase, were found to be present in purified rod outer segment (ROS) preparations. Immunofluorescence microscopy of bovine and chicken retina sections labeled with monoclonal antibodies against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase have confirmed that these enzymes are present in rod and cone outer segments and not simply contaminants from the inner segments or other cells. Rod outer segments were also found to contain glucose transport activity as detected by 3-O-[14C]methylglucose uptake and exchange. The glucose transporter had a Km of 6.3 mM and a Vmax of 0.15 nmol of 3-O-methylglucose/s/mg of ROS membrane protein for net uptake and a Km of 29 mM and a Vmax of 1.06 nmol of 3-O-methylglucose/s/mg of ROS membrane protein for equilibrium exchange. These Km values for net uptake and equilibrium exchange are similar to values obtained for human red blood cells and are characteristic of GLUT-1-type glucose transporter. The transport was inhibited by both cytochalasin B and phloretin. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy using type-specific glucose transporter antibodies indicated that both rod and cone outer segment plasma membranes have a GLUT-1 glucose transporter of Mr 45K as found in red blood cells and brain microsomal membranes. Solid-phase radioimmune competitive inhibition studies indicated that rod outer segment plasma membranes contained 15% the number of glucose transporters found in human red blood cell membranes and had an estimated density of 400 glucose transporter per micron2 of plasma membrane. These studies support the view that outer segments can generate energy in the form of ATP and GTP by anaerobic glycolysis to supply at least some of the energy requirements for phototransduction and other metabolic processes.

Some biochemical parameters of liver and liver microsomes were studied in albino rats following administration of cobra and viper venoms at dose of 2 mg/kg body weight. The total protein content in cobra venom treated (CVT) animals and DNA and RNA contents of liver and liver microsomes were almost unaltered in both the venom treated animals while total protein content was significantly reduced in viper venom treated (VVT) animals. Alkaline and acid phosphatases activities of whole liver showed significant increase in both the venom treated animals whereas the rise in cholinesterase activity in CVT animals was not significant. Lactic acid content was significantly higher in CVT animals compared to either VVT animals or controls. The glycolytic enzymes viz., aldolase, phosphohexose isomerase and lactate dehydrogenase measured in hepatic microsomal fraction were significantly reduced while alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activities of liver microsomes were significantly elevated in both the venom treated animals compared to controls.

Administration of beta- and gamma-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) at 800 ppm dietary level for 2 weeks to albino rats produced noticeable hepatocellular damage as indicated by elevations in serum aminotransferases and decreases in hepatic soluble enzymes. Although serum total LDH activity was not altered, the LD5 isoenzyme was proportionately higher in the HCH isomers treated animals. Treatment of rats with beta- and gamma-isomers of HCH increased the hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and aldolase activities suggesting a higher rate of glucose oxidation. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity was decreased in these animals indicating inactivation of gluconeogenesis in liver. Dietary beta- and gamma-HCH decreased the liver mitochondrial DNP/Mg++/Ca++-activated ATPases thus affecting the energy metabolism. An unaltered ratio of DNP/Mg++-ATPase, a study of swelling pattern of hepatic mitochondria, and NAD+ permeability test suggested the maintenance of structural integrity of mitochondrial membrane in these pesticide fed animals. Liver microsomal Na+,K+-ATPases were lower in these animals.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, acylphosphatase and other soluble enzymes (creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase and pyruvate kinase) were assayed in muscle biopsies from patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and from normal controls. Specific activities of all the soluble enzymes were decreased in dystrophic muscle, acylphosphatase exhibiting the most marked and significant decrease comparable to that of creatine kinase, in spite of a moderate increase in serum levels. Also, Ca2+-ATPase, particularly the calcium-dependent activity, was decreased in dystrophic muscle. A positive correlation, higher than with the other soluble enzymes, was obtained between acylphosphatase specific activity and the percentage of Ca2+-activation of Ca2+-ATPase. These findings: suggest an impairment of microsomal calcium uptake which could be, at least in part, responsible for sarcoplasmic calcium accumulation observed in DMD; do not disagree with an hypothesized role of acylphosphatase in intracellular calcium homeostasis, consistent with the enzyme's demonstrated hydrolytic activity on the phosphorylated intermediate of Ca2+-ATPase.

Hepatocyte membranes destruction in experimental toxic hepatitis caused by heliotrine administration was accompanied by a 10-fold increase in blood serum activity of aldolase fructose-I-monophosphate, a decrease in cytochrome P-450 content, an increase in the rate of cytochrome P-450 inactivation, as well as a decrease in microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase activity. Administration of phosphatidylcholine liposomes decreased the activity of aldolase twofold, which indirectly shows partial reconstitution of liver cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine protective action is also manifested in an increase in the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase, a microsomal marker enzyme, up to its control level and in a 20% reduced rate of cytochrome P-450 inactivation. It has been shown that destroyed liver cell membranes may be repaired by the introduction of phosphatidylcholine in the form of multilayer liposomes.

Common bile duct ligation (CBDL) in rats was used to induce liver disease and secondary kidney damage. The biochemical changes in the liver, kidney and plasma were studied at 3, 6, 10 and 21 days post CBDL. The observed alterations climaxed at the 6th day following ligation. Renal, activities of aldolase (ALD), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), isocitric dehydrogenase (ICDH), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), were lowered in CBDL rats. Further, microsomal Na,K-ATPase and Mg-ATPase and mitochondrial oxidative-phosphorylation were inhibited. In the liver from CBDL rats the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Mg-ATPase and ALP were elevated, while SDH, ALD, malic dehydrogenase (MDH), LDH, malic enzyme (ME) and Na,K-ATPase were lowered. Plasma enzymes, AST, ALP, MDH, LDH, ALD, acid phosphatase (ACP) and ICDH and the metabolites bile acids, bilirubin, creatinine and urea were elevated. Addition of bile acids or bilirubin at concentrations comparable to those found in the plasma of CBDL rats, to the reaction mixture of the various enzymes strongly inhibited most, particularly mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. High concentrations of these substances in the blood may explain the development of renal failure during liver disease and its reversibility when liver function returns to normal.

Rat liver microsomal fractions have been equilibrated in various types of linear density gradients. 15 fractions were collected and assayed for 27 constituents. As a result of this analysis microsomal constituents have been classified, in the order of increasing median density, into four groups labeled a, b, c, and d. Group a includes: monoamine oxidase, galactosyltransferase, 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase, and cholesterol; group b: NADH cytochrome c reductase, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, aminopyrine demethylase, cytochrome b(5), and cytochrome P 450; group c: glucose 6-phosphatase, nucleoside diphosphatase, esterase, beta-glucuronidase, and glucuronyltransferase; group d: RNA, membrane-bound ribosomes, and some enzymes probably adsorbed on ribosomes: fumarase, aldolase, and glutamine synthetase. Analysis of the microsomal fraction by differential centrifugation in density gradient has further dissociated group a into constituents which sediment more slowly (monoamine oxidase and galactosyltransferase) than those of groups b and c, and 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase, and the bulk of cholesterol which sediment more rapidly (group a2). The microsomal monoamine oxidase is attributed, at least partially, to detached fragments of external mitochondrial membrane. Galactosyltransferase belongs to the Golgi complex. Group a2 constituents are related to plasma membranes. Constituents of groups b and c and RNA belong to microsomal vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. These latter exhibit a noticeable biochemical heterogeneity and represent at the most 80% of microsomal protein, the rest being accounted for by particles bearing the constituents of groups a and some contaminating mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Attention is called to the operational meaning of microsomal subfractions and to their cytological complexity.
