The effect of dl-norgestrel (13 beta-ethyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone, Wy 3707) on the biochemical makeup of rabbit ovary and uterus was investigated. 20 adult, healthy virgin female rabbits either received olive oil only or olive oil plus 12 mcg of norgestrel/rabbit/day for 30 days. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the last treatment. In the ovary protein concentration and activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) remained unaffected. However, in the uterus the level of protein was significantly elevated (p less than .01), the activities of G6PD and acid phosphatase were enhanced (p less than .05), and those of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and alkaline phosphatase were diminished (p less than .05). LDH and MDH in the uterus remained unchanged. The effect of norgestrel at this antiovulatory dose in rabbits consisted of a disturbance in the biochemical constituents of the uterus leading to a lowering of the ATPase activity and an impairment of the anaerobic mechanism of the organ.

Mice infected with protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus for 12-14 months were treated ig with mebendazole (Meb) 25-50 mg.kg-1 x d-1 for 7-14 d, albendazole (Alb) 200 mg.kg-1 x d-1, cr praziquantel (Pra) 500 mg.kg-1 x d-1 for 14 d. The mice were killed 24 h after the last medication, and acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) including (Na, K, Mg)-ATPase, (Na, K)-ATPase, and (Mg)-ATPase were determined and compared with those of untreated control group. The results showed that ACP activities of cyst wall in treated groups were lower than the control group. Whereas AKP activity of cyst wall in Pra group increased markedly, this is not the case in Meb and Alb groups. Three ATPase activities of cyst wall were inhibited in both Meb and Alb groups, Meb being more potent. No apparent changes in the ATPase activities were seen in Pra group.

Twenty-four pigs from four litters weaned at 21 d of age (6.6 kg of BW) were used to evaluate the influence of 250 ppm of dietary Cu on intestinal mucosa glucose-6-phosphatase (GP), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity; mucosal morphology; and the turnover rate of the intestinal mucosa throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Pigs were allotted into four pens of six pigs each based on sex, litter, and weight. Pens were then assigned to one of two treatments: 1) corn-soybean meal-whey diet with no antimicrobials (CO), or 2) CO + 250 ppm of Cu. Pigs were fed twice daily an amount approximately equal to ad libitum intake for 14 d. On d 14, pigs were injected i.p. with [3H]thymidine (50 microCi/kg of BW) 10 h after the morning meal. One pig from each pen was euthanatized at 1, 6, 12, 20, 32, and 44 h postinjection, and intestinal tissue was collected from the duodenum, two jejunum sites (upper and lower), ileum, cecum, and colon. The activity of GP and AP in the lower jejunum tended to decrease in pigs fed Cu (P less than .11, P less than .08, respectively). The ATPase activity was not affected by treatment (P greater than .10). Crypt death, villus height, or epithelial cell size (P greater than .10) were not affected by feeding Cu. Migration rate of epithelial cells up the villus was also not affected by treatment (P greater than .10).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In vitro addition of the drugs tetramisole (TMS) and levamisole (LMS) caused an inhibition of the specific activities of acid phosphatase and Mg(++)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase. The inhibition was non-competitive in nature. No significant inhibition was caused by TMS in the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase, but LMS inhibited the enzyme in a non-competitive manner. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was, however, increased in the presence of both TMS and LMS.

The rats were given potassium bichromate (K2Cr2O7) in dose of 2 and 5 mg/kg of body weight and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) in dose of 500 mg/kg for a period of 30 days. The two compounds were also given conjointly (K2Cr2O7-5 mg+MgCl2-500 mg). There were carried out histopathological as well as histochemical examinations of acid phosphatase activity, alkaline phosphatase activity and adenosine triphosphatase activity in the liver. With small doses (2 mg) of potassium bichromate no changes have been stated. With larger doses (5 mg) of potassium bichromate an increase of histochemical reaction to acid phosphatase as well as forming of histopathological changes such as parenchymatous degeneration, steatosis of hepatocytes and their necrobiosis have been observed. There has not been found any protective action of magnesium chloride on the cytotoxic activity of potassium bichromate on the liver cell.

Histochemical activities of several enzymes were investigated in the olfactory epithelium (OE) and vomeronasal organ (VNO) of the golden hamster. Activities of adenosine triphosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase were intense in the OE, and the sensory (VSE) and respiratory epithelium (VRE) of the VNO. The activity of acid phosphatase was intense in both the OE and the VSE, while that of non-specific esterase was intense in the VSE alone. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was detectable only in the VRE. Activities of monoamine oxidase and acetylcholine esterase were negative in all of the OE, VSE and VRE. These similarities and differences in the histochemical distribution of enzymes between OE and VSE may reflect the common olfactory function and/or functional specialization in these epithelia. On the other hand, the VRE was considerably different from the OE and VSE in the enzymatic distribution. This may reflect the non-olfactory function of this epithelium.

The study of the behaviours of Trichinella spiralis in the host tissues from the histochemical point of view will throw a light on parallelism of the destruction process by the infection and the instruction of the host tissues, i.e., the catabolic effect of the parasite as an indicator of the severity of infection and the anabolic response by the host as a criteria of cure. So, this study revealed a definite increase in catabolic enzymes as acid phosphatase activities. A relative disturbance and a decrease of anabolic enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, non-specific esterase and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) reactivity which indicates the destructive effects of T. spiralis adult worms and encysted larvae on intestinal mucosa alpha striated muscles of tongue and diaphragm. The disturbances of anabolic enzymes activity revealed the continuous trials of the host to get rid of adult worms from the small intestine, and to defeat and isolate the larvae in striated muscles. While the renal tissue changes indicate the disturbance of absorption and excretion functions of renal tissue due to the presence of endmetabolites and products of the parasite in the host blood.

The ontogeny of reticular cells in the ileal Peyer's patch of sheep from 70 days gestational age was studied by light and electron microscopy and by enzyme histochemistry. Small to medium-sized lymphocytes were seen in the lamina propria at 97 days, when the stroma was essentially still mesenchymal. By 110 days, the stromal cells in the dome/follicle primordia had differentiated into reticular fibroblasts, whose processes and fibers were seen to surround groups of lymphocytes. With advancing age the number and size of primordia increased, and proliferation was obvious among the lymphocytes. Processes of reticular cells increased in number and penetrated between individual lymphocytes of the groups. Coarser desmosome-like contacts were seen between the reticular cells from 115 days onwards. A central light area in the follicle was apparent from 130 days onwards. The fine structure of the stromal cells in this light follicle center developed towards but never became similar to that of follicular dendritic cells in a typical germinal center. The fine interdigitating end branches of the stromal cells were less numerous, and the dense homogeneous material present in between the end branches was not observed in the ileal Peyer's patch follicle. Instead, small particles and vesicles were seen between the various cell types of the light center and were not restricted to the intercellular spaces between the stromal cells. In the dark peripheral zone of the follicle, the stromal cells retained more immature features. The follicle became bordered by a capsule at an early stage. This capsule was formed by multiple layers of flattened fibroblasts separated by small amounts of intercellular material only. The alkaline phosphatase, Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and 5' nucleotidase reactivities of the follicular dendritic cells in the ileal Peyer's patch were similar to those of early prenatal primary follicles of sheep lymph nodes. This study indicates that the stromal cells of the ileal Peyer's patch are mesenchymal in nature and different from those of germinal centers and the epithelial stromal cells of bursa Fabricii of birds.

The cerium-based method was used to demonstrate cytochemically the ultrastructural localization of alkaline phosphatase (ALPase), 5'-nucleotidase (5'-Nase) and magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) on the transitional epithelium of the rat urinary bladder. The reaction product for ALPase was found on the plasma membrane of all epithelial cells, except the luminal surface of superficial cells. The activity of 5'-Nase appeared on the plasma membrane of all bladder transitional epithelial cells, including the free surface of superficial cells. The Mg-ATPase reaction product was seen on the plasma membrane of superficial, intermediate and basal cells, but never on the luminal surface of superficial cells and it was only occasionally seen on the basal surface. The possible functions of these phosphatases have been discussed, and it was emphasized that the 5'-Nase activity present on the luminal surface of superficial cells may play a special role in the membrane movement of these cells in the transitional epithelium.

Surface antigens of adult filarial parasite S. digitata was isolated by employing techniques from manual dissection to treatment with detergents. Among the surface antigen preparations (SAPs), the activities of marker enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase and 5' nucleotidase were higher with that isolated by triton X-100 technique (SAP2). On SDS-PAGE, the SAP2 has three major proteins with molecular weights 17, 29 and 36 KD which were consistent with the PBS soluble cuticular proteins (SAP1). Besides these, few other minor protein bands were also observed with the other SAPs. All SAPs were antigenic and showed positive reaction against antiserum to SAP2, and the results confirmed the SAP2 as a better preparation. The release of 29 KD surface protein during in vitro culture of adult parasite and its cross-reactivity with antiserum to surface antigens revealed the possible natural shedding of surface molecules into the host system.
