    Notes: Rat liver mitochondria, stored with the energy-linked functions preserved or in aging conditions, were used to assay the activity of various enzymes during five days. The preservation of energy-linked functions was monitored by the respiratory control coefficient. ATPase, cytochrome oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase showed increased activity when the energy-linked functions were preserved. In aging conditions, cytochrome oxidase, NADH dehydrogenase and ATPase showed decreased activity. The ATPase activity increased only when mitochondria were stored in the presence of inhibitors of the electron transport chain. The activity of NADH oxidase did not change, and succinate oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase showed a small decrease in their activity. The enzymes of the matrix, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase showed little decrease in activity under either of the conditions of storage. The total protein content decreased slightly under both conditions of storage. These results show that the activity of the enzymes analysed was maintained at reasonable levels, when the energy-linked functions of isolated mitochondria were preserved.

    Notes: In vitro, poorly iodinated thyroglobulin (Tg) is hydrolysed at the same rate whether it is enclosed in thyroid or in liver lysosomes, while fully iodinated Tg is degraded faster inside liver lysosomes. After in vivo TSH administration, thyroid lysosomes hydrolyse fully iodinated Tg as fast as do liver lysosomes.

    Notes: Characteristics of taurine transport in rat hepatocytes maintained in primary culture for 24 h (cultured hepatocytes) have been investigated. The uptake of [3H] taurine by cultured hepatocytes at 2°C was unsaturable, whereas that at 37°C consisted of unsaturable and saturable processes. The saturable transport system was sodium-dependent and consisted of two processes with low and with high affinities. The latter process (Km, 76.9 μM; Vmax, 0.256 nmole/mg protein/min; activation energy (EA), 37.8 kcal mol-1) was competitively inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol and ouabain, as well as by taurine analogues such as hypotaurine and guanidinoethyl sulphonate. The Vmax and EA values found in cultured hepatocytes at 37°C were 6.0 and 6.8 times higher than those found in freshly isolated hepatocytes. These results indicate that taurine transport in hepatocytes in primary culture consisted of unsaturable, and saturable, sodium and energy-dependent carrier-mediated transport processes, respectively. The facilitation of the latter transport system by primary culture of hepatocytes is also suggested.

    Notes: Analysis of the uptake and metabolism of [14C]cysteine in rat liver was undertaken using freshly isolated hepatocytes and hepatocytes maintained in primary culture. The uptake of [14C]cysteine by freshly isolated hepatocytes was by means of both saturable and non-saturable transport systems and the former system was thought to involve facilitated diffusion. The uptake of [14C]cysteine by hepatocytes maintained in primary culture for 24 h also consisted of non-saturated and saturated transport mechanisms. The magnitude of the saturable transport system in cultured hepatocytes was, however, much greater than that found in freshly isolated hepatocytes, and was considered to be operated by active transport. Both freshly isolated and primary cultured hepatocytes had cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase activity, but this enzyme activity in the latter cells was noticeably reduced in comparison with that found in freshly isolated hepatocytes. Hepatocytes maintained in primary culture produced not only radiolabelled taurine, but also radiolabelled cysteine sulphinic acid, hypotaurine and alanine when incubated with [14C]cysteine. The present results indicate that cultured hepatocytes actively transport cysteine as well as metabolizing cysteine to taurine via cysteine sulphinic acid and hypotaurine.

    Notes: The activity of ornithine carbamyl transferase (OCT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in serum has been correlated with the extent of necrosis 24 h after different periods of ischaemia in rat liver. The extent of necrosis has been quantified as the volume density of necrosis in the total ischaemic liver lobes using tetranitro BT. The GPT-activity in serum is maximal between 1 and 5 h after different periods of ischaemia, whereas OCT reaches its maximum between 5 and 12 h after ischaemia. The total amount of leaked enzyme-activity as well as the peak value give a linear correlation with the extent of necrosis for OCT and GPT. There is a differnece between the character of these two enzymes in that a small leakage of GPT does not indicate liver cell necrosis later on. However, the appearance of OCT in the blood, an enzyme localized in the mitochondrial matrix, has a predictive value for the extent of necrosis, likely to occur later on. GPT, an enzyme from the cytoplasm, can also occur in the blood during the reversible stage of liver cell damage.

    Notes: Alterations of cell surface glycoconjugates have been observed in many developing systems and may be important in the physiological control of growth and differentiation. Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy is a suitable model in which to study the regulatory mechanisms of cell proliferation in vivo. We have isolated the sinusoidal plasma membrane of hepatocytes at different times after partial hepatectomy. The sialic acid content and the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis pattern of glycoproteins were determined. A decrease of periodic acid-Schiff-profiles, a change in the binding capacities of 125I-concanavalin A, a reduction of the sialic acid content and the appearance and disappearance of specific components have been observed during the pre-replicative phase of liver regeneration. These findings during this early period are consistent with the active involvement of the plasma membrane glycoproteins in the transition of cells to the proliferative state.

    Notes: Chicken liver and erythrocyte nuclei were separated by mild treatment with micrococcal nuclease into nuclease sensitive (NS) and nuclease resistant (NR) fractions, differing in chemical composition and transcriptional activity in vitro. Nuclei, NS and NR fractions of both tissues were fractionated by hydroxyapatite chromatography into three groups of non-histone chromatin proteins (NHCP) and characterized by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Some differences in the molecular distribution of non-histone proteins of chicken liver and erythrocytes between nuclease sensitive and resistant parts of chromatin have been described.

    Notes: Silymarin and silibyn are extracted from the seeds of Silybum marianum and used as a liver protectant because of their free radical scavenging. When incorporated into rabbit liver microsomes they cause a small decrease in the flourescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrine (DPH) but not of 1-anilinononaphthalene-8-sulphonic acid (ANS), incorporated into the membranes. They do, however, reduce the fluorescence intensity of incorporated ANS without changing the wavelength of maximum intensity. These observations suggest that the drugs are incorporated into the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface of the microsomal bilayer and perturb the structure by influencing the packing of the acyl chains.

    Notes: The content of hepatic cyclic AMP was increased soon after intoxication by white phosphorus. Its level reached a maximum 4 h after poisoning, but in subsequent phases tended to return to normal. In contrast, the cyclic GMP concentration was altered only 24 and 36 h after treatment with the same hepatotoxin. Similar modifications of cAMP and cGMP content were also detected after poisoning by trichlorobromomethane (CBrCl3). As a consequence, an altered cGMP/cAMP ratio was found in both experimental conditions. Further, the modification of cAMP content after white phosphorus was detected prior to liver damage (steatosis and necrosis), while the highest concentration of the cyclic nucleotide in CBrCl3-poisoned rats was found when fatty liver was already evident. In addition, in phosphorus-poisoned rats, the hepatic content of Ca2+ was found to be unmodified during all phases of the intoxication, while after CBrCl3 a phasic increase of the Ca2+ level was observed at 4, 24 and 36 h.
