Ultrastructural changes in isolated rat hepatocytes exposed to different CCl4 concentrations

Ultrastructural data are presented on time-course changes in isolated rat hepatocyte suspensions exposed either to 1.2 or 1.8 mM CCl4 for up to 1 h. The subcellular changes at the lower concentration, but not the higher, are shown to closely parallel those reported to occur in rat hepatocytes following ingestion of CCl4.

Specific lysis of GABAergic synaptosomes by an antiserum to glutamate decarboxylase

An antiserum to pure glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) when incubated with rat cortical synaptosomes in the presence of complement caused release of 33-53% of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 22-41% of total GAD. In addition most of the gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) present was released. Anti-GAD antiserum alone, or complement alone, were without action. The antiserum plus complement had no effect on noradrenaline or choline uptake, and did not release choline acetylase (ChAT). Anti-ChAT serum plus complement released 30-37% of ChAT and 10-13% of LDH. It prevented choline uptake. This serum did not produce GAD release or prevent GABA, choline or noradrenaline uptake. When cortical synaptosomes were exposed to both antisera plus complement, their actions were strictly additive. The data indicate specific lysis of GABAergic and cholinergic synaptosomal sub-populations.     

Microsomal-catalyzed hydroperoxide-dependent C-oxidation of amines

Organic hydroperoxides are capable of supporting the C-oxidation of several different amines in the presence of hepatic microsomes. Evidence is presented that indicates that microsomal cytochrome P-450 acts as the catalyst. Removal of the NADPH-cytochrome $\text{c}$ oxidoreductase or essential phospholipid from microsomes does not significantly affect the peroxidase activity. Of the amine substrates C-oxidized by organic hydroperoxides in the presence of microsomes, only aminopyrine and dimethylaniline are rapidly oxidized by hydroperoxides in the presence of catalase. The catalase-mediated reaction can also be distinguished from the microsomal-catalyzed reaction by the use of differential inhibitors.     

不同性别黄鳝六种组织中LDH同工酶电泳谱的初步研究

本文报告了运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶圆盘电泳研究不同性别黄鳝的血清、心肌、骨骼肌、肝、肾和生殖腺等六种组织器官中ＬＤＨ同工酶。结果表明六种不同组织中ＬＤＨ同工酶谱各不相同,具有明显的组织特异性。在不同性别中某些同一种组织的ＬＤＨ同工酶谱也发生变化,这说明决定黄鳝ＬＤＨ同工酶表达的因素在不同性别中有差异。     

Effect of metal ion catalyzed oxidation of rifamycin SV on cell viability and metabolic performance of isolated rat hepatocytes

The effect of rifamycin SV on metabolic performance and cell viability was studied using isolated hepatocytes from fed, starved and glutathione (GSH) depleted rats. The relationships between GSH depletion, nutritional status of the cells, glucose metabolism, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and malondialdehyde (MDA) production in the presence of rifamycin SV and transition metal ions was investigated. Glucose metabolism was impaired in isolated hepatocytes from both fed and starved animals, the effect is dependent on the rifamycin SV concentration and is enhanced by copper (II). Oxygen consumption by isolated hepatocytes from starved rats was also increased by copper (II) and a partial inhibition due to catalase was observed. Cellular GSH levels which decrease with increasing the rifamycin SV concentration were almost depleted in the presence of copper (II). A correlation between GSH depletion and LDH leakage was observed in fed and starved cells. Catalase induced a slight inhibition of the impairment of gluconeogenesis, GSH depletion and LDH leakage in starved hepatocytes incubated with rifamycin SV, iron (II) and copper (II) salts. Lipid peroxidation measured as MDA production by isolated hepatocytes was also augmented by rifamycin SV and copper (II), especially in hepatic cells isolated from starved and GSH depleted rats. Higher cytotoxicity was observed in isolated hepatocytes from fasted animals when compared with fed or GSH depleted animals. It seems likely that in addition to GSH level, there are other factors which may have an influence on the susceptibility of hepatic cells towards xenobiotic induced cytotoxicity.

Lactate dehydrogenase in abdominal muscle of crayfishOrconectes limosus and shrimpcrangon crangon (Decapoda: Crustacea): Properties and evolutionary relationship

In crayfishOrconectes limosus and shrimpCrangon crangon abdominal muscle, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) is encoded by one locus. No polymorphism was detected. The enzymes were purified to homogeneity. The specific activities for purified crayfish and shrimp LDHs were 472 and 414 μmol NADH min⁻¹ mg⁻¹, respectively, at 30°C. Their physicochemical and kinetic properties did not resemble fish (Gadus morhua) LDH-A₄ isoenzyme. Their amino acid composition indicated greater similarity to fish LDH-C₄ isoenzymes.
