چکیده
1. Measurements are presented of the activity and intracellular distribution of phosphoenolypruvate carboxykinase, pyruvate carboxylase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase in rat, guinea-pig and rabbit liver and kidney cortex, together with previously obtained measurements of these enzymes in adipose tissue. 2. In all three tissues pyruvate carboxylase activity was greatest in the rat and lowest in the rabbit. 3. Guinea pig and rabbit were very similar to each other with respect to the extramitochondrial-mitochondrial distribution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in all three tissues. 4. NADP-malate dehydrogenase was present in all three tissues in the rat, present in kidney cortex and adipose tissue in the guinea pig and absent from all tissues examines in the rabbit.

Fat-cells were prepared from rat and guinea-pig epididymal adipose tissue and compared on the basis of the intracellular distributions and activities of enzymes and with respect to their utilization of various U-(14)C-labelled substrates for lipogenesis. 1. Compared with the rat, guinea-pig extramitochondrial enzyme activities differed in that aconitate hydratase, alanine aminotransferase, ATP-...
متن کاملA Novel Strategy Involved Anti-Oxidative Defense: The Conversion of NADH into NADPH by a Metabolic Network
The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is pivotal to the cellular anti-oxidative defence strategies in most organisms. Although its production mediated by different enzyme systems has been relatively well-studied, metabolic networks dedicated to the biogenesis of NADPH have not been fully characterized. In this report, a metabolic pathway that promotes the conversion of...
متن کاملThe regulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked substrate oxidation in isolated liver mitochondria.
A mechanism for regulating the rate of NAD-linked substrate oxidation in isolated liver mitochondria was investigated. Addition of oligomycin and a-ketoglutarate to isolated uncoupled rat liver mitochondria oxidizing an NADlinked substrate such as L( -)-palmitylcarnitine plus L-malate caused an abrupt inhibition of oxygen consumption and of citrate, acetoacetate, and /3-hydroxybutyrate synthesi...
متن کاملCarbon Metabolism Enzymes of Rhizobium tropici Cultures and Bacteroids.
We determined the activities of selected enzymes involved in carbon metabolism in free-living cells of Rhizobium tropici CFN299 grown in minimal medium with different carbon sources and in bacteroids of the same strain. The set of enzymatic activities in sucrose-grown cells suggests that the pentose phosphate pathway, with the participation of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, is probably the prima...

The effect of phagocytosis on the H(2)O(2) production and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities of leukocytes from various species was investigated. The intracellular distribution of MPO, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) of resting and phagocytizing guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocy...
