In vivo administration of L-thyroxine (L-T4) in Anabas testudineus, while significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome c oxidase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), inhibited glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (cyt. MDH; mit. MDH), and Mg2+ DNP-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+ ATPase) activities. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and catalase remained unaltered after L-T4 treatment. Administration of protein synthesis inhibitors such as actinomycin D, while significantly inhibited cytochrome oxidase, alpha-GPDH, catalase, SDH, and Mg2+ ATPase activities, did not change LDH, cyt. MDH, and mit. MDH activities. Chloramphenicol injection significantly stimulated cytochrome oxidase, alpha-GPDH, and G-6-PDH activities. Simultaneous injections of actinomycin D or chloramphenicol with 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (L-T3) or L-T4 prevented the effects of thyroid hormones on enzyme activities, when compared to the respective controls.

The dog tracheal epithelium actively secretes Cl and absorbs Na. The possible dependency of this electrolyte transport on a Mg-dependent, Na-K-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase, EC 3.6.1.3) was examined. The characteristics of this enzyme system were investigated using homogenates of tracheal epithelium. The electrical properties and ion fluxes of this epithelium were determined in tissues mounted in Ussing chambers. Addition of Na and K produced an approximate 50% activation of basal Mg-ATPase activity. The apparent Km values for ATP, Na, K, and Mg were 0.4, 12.7, 1.9, and 1.6 mM, respectively. The total specific ATPase activity was 8.1 +/- 0.4 and that of the Mg-ATPase 4.3 +/- 0.1 mumol Pi. mg protein -1.h-1. Addition of ouabain (1 muM) or omission of K from the submucosal bathing solution reduced potential difference (PD) and short-circuit current (SCC) significantly. Relatively low concentrations (0.1 mM or less) of ethacrynic acid, furosemide, or 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) depressed SCC and PD significantly, i.e., at concentrations that were without effect on the Na-K-ATPase activity. Ethacrynic acid inhibited Cl secretion, whereas 2,4-DNP lowered both Na and Cl transport. These data demonstrate that 1) the tracheal mucosa of dogs contains a Na-K-ATPase at relatively high specific activity, 2) this enzyme is likely contained in the basal aspect of this membrane, 3) it appears to be essential for maintenance of Cl secretion, and 4) Cl secretion can be reduced (by ethacrynic acid, furosemide, and 2,4-DNP) without Na-K-ATPase inhibition.

1. Chronic ethanol administration to rats for 21-27 days increases the rate of O(2) consumption as measured in liver slices. The extra respiration can be abolished by inhibition of the active transport of Na(+) and K(+). Dinitrophenol activates the respiratory rate in the liver of the treated animals only in the presence of ouabain. 2. Active (ouabain-sensitive) transport of (86)Rb and (Na(+)+K(+))-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity were increased in the livers of the ethanol-treated animals. 3. Chronic ethanol administration also led to a decrease in the phosphorylation potential ([ATP]/[ADP][P(i)]) in the liver cell owing to a decrease in [ATP] and an increase in [P(i)]. 4. It is suggested that an increased sodium pump activity is responsible for the increased oxidative capacity and for the insensitivity to dinitrophenol observed in the livers of ethanol-treated animals.

1. Liver slices from rats treated with thyroxine show an increased rate of O(2) consumption. The extra consumption, but not the basal respiration, can be abolished by ouabain. 2. Dinitrophenol is not effective in increasing the rate of O(2) consumption of liver slices from thyroxine-treated animals but its effectiveness can be recovered in the presence of ouabain. 3. (Na(+)+K(+))-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity of liver was increased by administration of thyroxine in vivo. No changes were found in total Mg(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity. 4. Mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and microsomal NADPH oxidase activity were increased by both thyroxine and chronic ethanol treatment. 5. Liver slices from animals chronically treated with ethanol synthesize urea at an increased rate. 6. Mitochondrial size (section area) is markedly increased in the liver of animals chronically treated with ethanol. 7. Acute administration of ethanol in doses of 4 and 6g/kg significantly increases the uptake of (131)I-labelled thyroxine by the liver. 8. Work reported here, along with results from other investigators, indicates marked similarities between the effects produced in the liver by chronic administration of ethanol and by thyroid hormones.
