Hyperoxia inhibited concanavalin A stimulated O2- release (respiratory burst) of alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from rats. After 36 h of normobaric 100% O2, a partial reversal (48%) of the inhibition was produced by addition of glucose. Since oxidant-induced, reversible NADPH depletion correlates with reversible inhibition of the respiratory burst, intracellular NADPH was assayed to determine whether irreversible inhibition of the respiratory burst was related to persistent changes in this metabolite. The cellular concentrations of ATP, glutathione, and ascorbate were also measured. After 36 h of hyperoxia, NADPH concentration in alveolar macrophages rose slightly while ATP and glutathione content remained at control levels. Ascorbate levels fell significantly but were not responsible for respiratory burst inhibition. Thus, irreversible loss of cellular function in hyperoxia is not due to persistent alterations in these metabolites. Significant amounts of both glutathione and ascorbate were found in extracellular fractions of lung washings, indicating high concentrations in the aqueous subphase in the lung fluid lining. There was no change in total content of these extracellular antioxidants following O2 exposure.

Six trained males [mean maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) = 66 ml X kg-1 X min-1] performed 30 min of cycling (mean = 76.8% VO2max) during normoxia (21.35 +/- 0.16% O2) and hyperoxia (61.34 +/- 1.0% O2). Values for VO2, CO2 output (VCO2), minute ventilation (VE), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), venous lactate, glycerol, free fatty acids, glucose, and alanine were obtained before, during, and after the exercise bout to investigate the possibility that a substrate shift is responsible for the previously observed enhanced performance and decreased RER during exercise with hyperoxia. VO2, free fatty acids, glucose, and alanine values were not significantly different in hyperoxia compared with normoxia. VCO2, RER, VE, and glycerol and lactate levels were all lower during hyperoxia. These results are interpreted to support the possibility of a substrate shift during hyperoxia.

The CNS tolerance to prolonged normobaric hyperoxia (NH) was investigated using alterations in regional cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (rCMRgl) as a sensitive measure of brain oxygen poisoning. Conscious rats were continuously exposed either to air or to oxygen for 24 h at atmospheric pressure inside a closed and ventilated environmental chamber. The rCMRgl was measured during ongoing air or oxygen exposures by [14C]2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique. No significant difference in the rCMRgl of 29 neuroanatomical structures investigated was found between two groups of air- and oxygen-exposed rats. At the same time however, a significant reduction in the respiratory frequency (f) was observed only in the oxygen-exposed rats. It is suggested that brain energy metabolism is not affected at least up to 24 h NH in conscious rats. The NH-induced reduction in f on the other hand, may be due to alterations in afferent inputs from peripheral and central chemoreceptors or lung stretch receptors. Furthermore, since slight changes in rCMRgl of small neuroanatomical structures are not detectable by limited resolution power of [14C]2-DG autoradiographic technique, a subtle NH-induced damage to central respiratory control mechanisms cannot yet be ruled out.

Preexposure to hypoxia increased survival and lung reduced glutathione-to-oxidized glutathione ratios (GSH/GSSG) and decreased pleural effusions in rats subsequently exposed to continuous hyperoxia. In addition, lungs from hypoxia-preexposed rats developed less acute edematous injury (decreased lung weight gains and lung lavage albumin concentrations) than lungs from normoxia-preexposed rats when isolated and perfused with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated by xanthine oxidase (XO) or glucose oxidase (GO). In contrast, when perfused with elastase or exposed to a hydrostatic left atrial pressure challenge, lungs isolated from hypoxia-preexposed rats developed the same acute edematous injury as lungs from normoxia-preexposed rats. The mechanism by which hypoxia preexposure conferred protection against H2O2 appeared to depend on hexose monophosphate shunt (HMPS)-dependent increases in lung glutathione redox cycle activity. First, before perfusion with GO, lungs from hypoxia-preexposed rats had increased glutathione peroxidase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (but not catalase or glutathione reductase) activities compared with lungs from normoxia-preexposed rats. Second, after perfusion with GO, lungs from hypoxia-preexposed rats had increased H2O2 reducing equivalents, as reflected by increased GSH/GSSG and NADPH/NADPH+, compared with lungs from normoxia-preexposed rats. Third, pretreatment of rats with an HMPS inhibitor, (6-aminonicotinamide) or a glutathione reductase inhibitor, [1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea] prevented hypoxia-conferred protection against H2O2-mediated acute edematous injury in isolated lungs. These findings suggest that increased detoxification of H2O2 by glutathione redox cycle and HMPS-dependent mechanisms contributes to tolerance to hyperoxia and resistance to H2O2 of lungs from hypoxia-preexposed rats.

Further characteristics of an oxygen-tolerant variant of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-99) capable of stable proliferation at 99% O2/1% CO2, and O2 level that is lethal to the parental line (CHO-20), are described. Previous work has revealed that CHO-99 cells have 2- to 4-fold increased activities of superoxide dismutases, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, and substantially increased relative volumes of mitochondria and peroxisomes. To document possible additional mechanisms of O2 tolerance we compared CHO-20 cells growing at 20% O2 (normoxia) and CHO-99 cells at 99% O2 (normobaric hyperoxia). We show the following: (1) the estimated total (oxidative and glycolytic) ATP production in CHO-99 cells was 36% decreased. ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation was 52% lower in CHO-99 cells, while the relative contribution from glycolysis was increased from 6% to 30%. The ATP content was 29% lower in CHO-99 cells, the adenylate energy charge being also significantly decreased, indicating that energy production through oxidative phosphorylation is compromised in CHO-99 cells. Cyanide-resistant respiration was 4-fold higher in CHO-99 cells, probably reflecting, at least partly, the increased peroxisomal activity in these cells. (2) The level of reduced glutathione was several fold increased in CHO-99 cells, oxidized glutathione being unaltered; (NADPH + NADP+) levels were elevated 2.7-fold, while the ratio of NADPH to NADP+ was increased almost two-fold. These changes were associated with a 50% increased metabolism of glucose through the hexose monophosphate pathway. (3) No evidence was obtained for an increased steady-state level of endogenous lipid peroxidation in CHO-99 cells, in spite of a 50% increased content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether breathing high or low concentrations of O2 could affect glucose turnover during exercise in man. Ten healthy subjects performed two constant work-rate exercise tests, one when the fraction of inspired O2 (FIO2) was 0.15 and the other at the same work rate but when the FIO2 was 0.80. The work rate for each subject was chosen so that blood lactate would be elevated during hypoxia, but would be lower during hyperoxia. Glucose appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd) were measured using the primed, constant infusion of [3-3H]glucose. Although the work rate was the same during hypoxia and hyperoxia in each subject, hypoxic exercise was accompanied by a significantly larger rest to exercise increase in Rd (delta Rd) compared with hyperoxia by 265%. Similarly, delta Ra was greater during hypoxia than during hyperoxia by 188%. Lactate to pyruvate ratios were significantly higher during hypoxic exercise suggesting a shift in the cell redox to a more reduced state. Insulin and glucagon were not affected by the FIO2, but both epinephrine and norepinephrine were increased during hypoxic exercise, which may explain the increase in Ra. The regulation of blood glucose during exercise in vivo appears to be dependent on the availability of oxygen to the working muscle cells.

The effect of hyperoxia on lactate production and release and the mitochondrial NAD+-to-NADH ratio was studied in the in situ canine gastrocnemius to determine whether elevated PO2 altered metabolic regulation. Dogs breathed either air (21% O2) [arterial O2 partial pressure (PaO2) 90 mmHg; n = 8] or hyperoxia (100% O2) (PaO2 546 mmHg; n = 8). The left muscle was stimulated for 10 min at 3 Hz and then both right and left muscles were quick frozen in N2. Hyperoxia did not affect O2 uptake, blood flow, and developed tension. Activity increased glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P), D-fructose 6-phosphate (F-6-P), NH3, lactate, and F-6-P/F-1,6-P in both treatment groups. No significant differences in arterial or venous lactate, muscle lactate, glucose uptake, or glycogen depletion were noted in hyperoxia. Cytoplasmic NAD+/NADH was in a more oxidized state in hyperoxia at rest but not during activity. The increase in NH3 with stimulation was significantly larger in hyperoxia. Activity decreased alpha-ketoglutarate in hyperoxia but not in air. At stimulation, the estimated mitochondrial NAD+/NADH increased in both groups suggesting that hypoxia was not present. Thus hyperoxia did not affect mitochondrial redox state or lactate production and release in active muscle.

Isolated alveolar epithelial type II cells were exposed to paraquat and to hyperoxia by gas diffusion through the thin Teflon bottom of culture dishes. After exposure, type II cells were further incubated in the presence of labelled substrates to assess their capacity to synthesize lipids. Hyperoxia alone (90% O2; 5 h) had minor effects on lipid metabolism in the type II cells. At low paraquat concentrations (5 and 10 microM), hyperoxia enhanced the paraquat-induced decrease of [Me-14C]choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholines. The incorporation rates of [Me-14C]choline, [1-14C]palmitate, [1-14C]glucose and [1,3-3H]glycerol into various phospholipid classes and neutral lipids were decreased by paraquat, depending on the concentration and duration of the exposure. The incorporation of [1-14C]acetate into phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylglycerols and neutral lipids appeared to be very sensitive to inactivation by paraquat. At 5 microM-paraquat the rate of [1-14C]acetate incorporation was decreased to 50% of the control values. The rate of [1-14C]palmitate incorporation into lipids was much less sensitive; it even increased at low paraquat concentrations. At 10 microM-paraquat both NADPH and ATP were significantly decreased. It is concluded that lipid synthesis in isolated alveolar type II cells is extremely sensitive to paraquat. At low concentrations of this herbicide, lipid synthesis, and particularly fatty acid synthesis, is decreased. The effects on lipid metabolism may be partly related to altered NADPH and ATP concentrations.

Oxidants are generated in vivo by multiple mechanisms, including stimulation of leukocytes, hyperoxia, metabolism of arachidonic acid, and the activation of various oxidases. When the biochemical defences to the oxidants are inadequate, injury of tissues results. This injury was observed in rabbits and rhesus monkeys when pulmonary inflammation was induced with phorbol esters or formylated peptide given intrabronchially. We have recently investigated metabolic changes in various cells exposed to oxidants that are generated from stimulated leukocytes, including H2O2, O2, and HOCl. The target cells used were P388D1 murine macrophage-like tumour cells, human peripheral lymphocytes, GM 1380 human fibroblasts and rabbit alveolar macrophages. The oxidants used were H2O2 and PMA stimulated PMNs or neutroplasts. Lysis could only be prevented when catalase was added within the first 30-40 min of H2O2 exposure indicating that early metabolic changes determined the fate of the cell. Within seconds after the addition of H2O2 to P388D1 cells activation of the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMPS) was observed indicative of increased glutathione cycle activity. At the same time DNA strand breaks (determined by an alkaline unwinding technique) were detected. They resulted in the activation of the DNA repair enzyme poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (pADP-RP) within minutes after the addition of H2O2. At the same time ATP and NAD (the substrate of pADP-RP) concentrations dropped and nicotinamide accumulated extracellularly. 10-15 min after oxidant exposure free intracellular Ca++ concentrations determined by Quin 2 fluorescence started to increase due to release from intracellular stores.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The role played by lactate as an energy substrate for the newborn rat during the early neonatal period was studied. Plasma lactate is mostly removed within the first 2 h after delivery, i.e. during the presuckling period. Lactate removal was enhanced by hyperoxia but strongly inhibited by hypoxia, showing a direct correlation with blood oxygen concentrations. Lactate was not converted into glucose during the presuckling period, gluconeogenesis being insignificant in these circumstances; instead it was rapidly oxidized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Likewise, lactate was significantly oxidized by brain slices from newborns at birth. At physiological concentrations, lactate oxidation by brain slices was 10- and 3-fold higher than that of glucose and 3-hydroxybutyrate, respectively. In the same circumstances, lipogenesis de novo from lactate was 2- and 5-fold higher than from glucose and 3-hydroxybutyrate, respectively. The results suggest that lactate is the main metabolic fuel for the brain during the early neonatal period.
