1. The isolated perfused kidneys of fed rats in normal acid-base status showed a constant rate of lactate removal from the perfusate between 5 and 90 min of perfusion at a perfusate pH of 7-4-7-5. 2. Lactate removal by kidneys of rats in normal acid-base status was stimulated within 30 min by a reduction in perfusate pH to 7-1-7-2, but depressed when perfusate pH was reduced further. 3. Kidneys taken from rats previously made acidotic and perfused with media of various pH values showed a progressive fall in the rate of lactate removal during the perfusion. 4. Glucose output by the kidneys of rats in normal acid-base status perfused with lactate as substrate was not affected by an alteration in perfusate pH. The kidneys of acidotic rats generally showed an increased rate of glucose output compared with those of control rats.

The rapid isolation of high yields of parenchymal cells from chicken liver is described. Stringent tests of viability show that the isolated hepatocytes are both structurally and metabolically similar to those in intact liver. During incubation viability decreased and the significance of this change on the interpretation of metabolic experiments is discussed. Lactate was a much more effective gluconeogenic precursor than pyruvate even in the presence of additional reducing equivalents. Hepatocytes isolated from fed chickens produced glucose from glycogen degradation. Glycogenolysis was stimulated by glucagon, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and adrenaline. Half maximal glucagon effects were elicited by physiological concentrations of the hormone. Glucagon and dibutyryl cyclic AMP stimulated glucagon, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and adrenaline their action was not additive to that of adrenaline.

Lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase are metabolically coupled by the anaerobic dismutation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and by the NAD redox state. This causes the concentrations of lactate and glycerol 3-phosphate to accumulate proportionally during anaerobic muscle contraction; these concentrations are high relative to those in aerobic tissues such as liver. We show that the isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from chicken breast muscle have Km values for lactate and glycerol 3-phosphate, respectively, that are 10-fold higher than the Km values measured for the lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase isoenzymes from chicken liver. The association of proportionally higher Km values with the potential for proportionally higher accumulation of substrates suggests that the isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from chicken muscle have evolved in parallel as a coupled metabolic unit distinct from the coupled isoenzymes in liver. The parallelism observed for the reduced substrates extends to the oxidized substrates, and to the coenzymes, NAD+ and NADH.

1. Marker enzymes for the principal subcellular organelles of rat liver were asayed in the liver of rats 1 day and 8 days after bile-duct ligation or after laparotomy as a control procedure. 2. The microsomal enzymes in liver tissue showed complex changes. Benz[alpha]pyrene hydroxylase activity, predominantly found in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, was decreased. Glucose 6-phosphatase activity and ribonucleic acid, which are localized predominantly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, were increased. 3. The plasma membrane enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, increased in activity after bile-duct ligation. 4. No changes in mitochondrial enzyme activities were noted after 1 day but there was a 50% reduction 8 days after ligation. Lysosomal enzyme activities did not change in the liver tissue. 5. Liver catalase and D-amino acid oxidase activities showed a slight increase at 1 day postligation but a significant fall by 8 days. 6. Lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosol enzyme, showed a decrease in activity after 1 day but an increase in tissue activities 8 days after ligation. 7. Serum activities of mitochondrial, plasma membrane, microsomal, lysosomal and cytosol marker enzymes tended to increase post-ligation, particularly at 8 days. 8. Monoamine oxidase, a predominantly mitochondrial enzyme, was greatly elevated in the serum after 1 day but had returned to normal activities by 8 days.

The transport and metabolism of glucose was examined in monolayers of C-6 glioma cells. 1) Glucose transport appeared to have both a low (Km = 7.74 mM) and a high (Km = 1.16 mM) affinity site in C-6cells; whereas 2-deoxyglucose had only one (Km = 3.7 mM). 2) A large portion of the accumulated glucose was rapidly metabolized to the two glycolytic end products, lactate and pyruvate, and then extruded into the medium. The temperature-dependent efflux of lactate and pyruvate was linear up to 2 hrs with 6 to 10 times more lactate being extruded into the medium than pyruvate. 3) The efflux of lactate and pyruvate increased with increasing extracellular (medium) pH. The presence of 5 percent CO2 not only inhibited the acid efflux but also inhibited the short-term uptake of glucose. The CO2 effect was attributed to a lowering of the medium pH since bicarbonate alone either increased or did not inhibit efflux. 4) Valinomycin increased the levels of cellular lactate but not those of pyruvate by almost three-fold. Lactate efflux was stimulated while that of pyruvate was inhibited. The addition of 5 percent CO2 increased the cellular levels of both lactate and pyruvate, but unlike valinomycin decreased the acid efflux. Idoacetate inhibited the acid efflux by 50 percent suggesting that glycolysis is necessary for efflux.

1. The concentration of metabolites in intercostal and quadriceps muscle, and pulmonary function, were studied in twelve patients with chronic obstructive lung disease and acute respiratory failure before, during and after standardized treatment at an intensive care unit. The findings were compared with those obtained in hospitalized patients of comparable age with non-pulmonary diseases. 2. On admission, when the patients had marked hypoxaemia, hypercapnia and acidosis, the concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate were low in both intercostal and quadriceps muscle, particularly the latter. The lactate concentration was increased in relation to control values but glycogen did not differ significantly. 3. In response to therapy, the Pa,CO2 and the patient's acidosis decreased, the vital capacity increased and lung mechanics improved along with the clinical condition. At the same time there were significant increases in the concentrations of ATP, creatine phosphate and glycogen in intercostal and quadriceps muscles, to values similar to, and for glycogen in excess of, those found in control subjects. Lactate concentration fell significantly during treatment. 4. In view of the low initial muscle concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in the patients, it is suggested that dysfunction of the respiratory muscles may be an important component of respiratory failure. Moreover, the concentration of energy-rich compounds in muscle rose significantly as the patients responded to treatment, which emphasizes the importance of adequate nutritional therapy in this disorder.

1. Gluconeogenesis from lactate or from glutamine is inhibited by 90-100% by sodium quinolinate (1 mmol/l) or 3-mercaptopicolinate (150 nmol/l) in the perfused rat kidney. L-Tryptophan is not metabolized and is without effect. 2. Lactate uptake and glucose production are inhibited to the same degree by 3-mercaptopicolinate in the kidneys of well-fed or starved rats. 3. Inhibition of gluconeogenesis from glutamine (1 mmol/l) by 3-mercaptopicolinate is accompanied by 50% inhibition of ammonia production, and 34% inhibition of glutamine uptake, in the kidneys of acidotic rats. Ammonia production from glutamine was not inhibited in kidneys from non-acidotic rats. 4. It is concluded that the increased rate of gluconeogenesis from glutamine which occurs in acidotic rats is an essential and primary event regulating all of the increase in ammonia formation.

Modification of the silica surface has been shown to reduce its cytotoxicity in vitro and its fibrogenic activity in vivo. We have shown silica to be a potent stimulator of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in bovine alveolar macrophages (BAM). To determine the effect of surface-modified silica on AA metabolism in BAM, we exposed BAM in vitro to silica treated with aluminum lactate or polyvinylpyridine-N-oxide (PVPNO). BAM were prelabeled with [3H]AA and incubated with 3 and 5 mg of silica. Unmodified silica at these doses elicited maximal AA metabolite release from BAM. AA metabolites were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Lactate dehydrogenase release was quantitated to determine the cytotoxicity of treated and untreated silica on BAM. Treating silica with aluminum lactate or PVPNO significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) reduced 5-lipoxygenase metabolite release and significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) increased cyclooxygenase metabolite release. These changes in AA metabolite release were accompanied by a significant (P less than or equal to 0.05) reduction in the cytotoxicities of the treated silicas compared with untreated silica. Our results suggest that the reduced inflammatory and fibrogenic activity of surface-modified silica may in part be due to reduced AA metabolite release from exposed macrophages.

Oxidative metabolism in reperfused neonatal myocardium has not been characterized. A blood-perfused isovolumic heart preparation was used to quantify metabolic and mechanical responses of the neonatal left ventricle to global normothermic ischemia and reperfusion. Hearts from piglets aged 2-7 days were subjected to either 2 hrs of total ischemia at 37 degrees C followed by 1 hr of reperfusion or 3 hrs of perfusion alone; glucose and palmitate oxidation were measured in separate experiments by incorporation of the appropriate [14C]-labeled substrate into the perfusate. In the pre-ischemic period, glucose, palmitate, and lactate contributed 10%, 41%, and 36%, respectively, to oxidative metabolism. After 2 hrs of total normothermic ischemia, oxidation of exogenous glucose was 165% and 229% of control values at 30 and 60 minutes of reperfusion, respectively; palmitate oxidation was 110% and 143% of control values at these times. Despite increased glucose oxidation, palmitate oxidation accounted for 69% of myocardial oxygen consumption after 1 hr of reperfusion, with glucose responsible for 25%. Lactate use was minimal during reperfusion. Reperfusion was accompanied by rapid and parallel recovery of oxygen utilization, mechanical function, and high-energy phosphates. The neonatal piglet heart demonstrates significant metabolic and mechanical tolerance to prolonged ischemia. Although glucose utilization increased markedly, palmitate was the primary substrate for energy production in the post-ischemic neonatal heart.
