Effect of pyrethroids on carbohydrate metabolic pathways in common carp,Cyprinus carpio

The activity levels of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) were assessed in various tissues of Cyprinus carpio var communis which had been exposed to lethal concentrations of group‐II pyrethroids (deltamethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate and fluvalinate) for a period of 72 h. The results indicated a steady decrease in SDH activity with a concomitant increase in G6PD activity. The decreased SDH activity indicated inhibition of SDH at mitochondrial level and the increased G6PD activity an enhancement of an alternative pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, viz the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP) or pentose phosphate pathway as a biochemical adaptation to overcome the toxic stress. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry     

枇杷果实发育过程中山梨醇含量及相关酶活性的变化

以果型和品质差异较大的黄肉枇杷(Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.)‘解放钟’和白肉枇杷‘白梨’的果实为试材,测定果实发育过程中山梨醇、果糖、葡萄糖含量及与山梨醇代谢相关酶--山梨醇脱氢酶(Sorbitol dehydrogenase,SDH)和山梨醇氧化酶(Sorbitol oxidase,SOX)活性的变化,并探讨山梨醇代谢与枇杷果实生长发育和品质形成的关系。结果表明:2个枇杷品种果实中山梨醇含量均随果实发育进程呈下降趋势,且‘白梨’枇杷果实中山梨醇含量高于‘解放钟’。在花后35~80 d,2个枇杷品种幼果中葡萄糖和果糖含量均较低且相对稳定,而花后95~140 d果实中葡萄糖和果糖含量逐渐上升,并在花后125~140 d果实成熟期急剧增加而达到峰值;果实中葡萄糖含量在2个品种间差异不显著(p0.05),花后125~140 d的果实成熟期,‘白梨’果实中果糖含量显著高于‘解放钟’(p0.05)。果实发育过程中SDH和SOX的活性均呈先降后升的变化趋势。说明2个枇杷品种果实发育过程中山梨醇、果糖、葡萄糖含量及SDH和山SOX的活性表现出相似的变化规律,但果实山梨醇含量与SDH和SOX的活性在果实膨大期均存在显著差异(p0.05),这可能是黄肉枇杷与白肉枇杷品质差异的关键。

Acclimation Induced Responses of SDH Activity of Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) Following Introduction in a New Pond Habitat

Responses of the major mitochondrial respiratory enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in gill and muscle tissue of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) were investigated upon their transfer to a new pond habitat. Sixty healthy adult fish were procured from each of the three ponds used and were distributed in three cages in equal numbers; the cages were placed in each of the other two ponds as well as into original rearing pond. Four fish were removed from each cage every week and were sacrificed for the assay of SDH activity in gills and muscles. Transfer of fish from a stress condition to a benign environment and vice versa resulted in an increase and decrease in SDH activity of fish, respectively. The intensity of increase upon transfer was again dependent upon the amount of stress in the new habitat. In general, the SDH activity of the test fish strongly correlated with the ammonia concentration (P?<?0.05) of water regardless of habitats. Time required for the introduced fish to acclimatize with new environmental conditions was dependent upon the environmental milieu of both its initial and final place of rearing and hence their physiological states. Differences in water quality, especially ammonia concentration, between its original place of rearing and the place of transfer were found to be responsible for the differences in acclimation period of two or three weeks. Relatively less difference in ammonia (2.68 for gills and 3.20 for muscles) between the initial place of rearing and new habitat resulted in acclimation of the fish one week earlier (second week) than the relatively wide difference (4.46 for gills and 5.62 for muscles) for third week. It may be reasonable to conclude that the varied responses of the mitochondrial respiratory enzyme of exogenously introduced fishes with the differences in the water quality—especially the ammonia concentration of ambient water between the original fish holding pond and growout pond—can be used to predict the time that will be required for the exogenously introduced fish to fully acclimatize with the new habitat.     

Oxidative metabolism in a teleost,Anabas testudineus Bloch: effect of testosterone and estradiol-17β on hepatic enzyme activities

Testosterone (T) administration to maleAnabas testudineus significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome oxidase, -glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (-GPDH) and Mg²⁺ adenosine triphosphatase (Mg²⁺ ATPase) and inhibited lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenases (MDH). The activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and catalase were unaffected by testosterone treatment. Administration of estradiol-17 (E2) in female fish, significantly stimulated cytochrome oxidase activity, inhibited Mg²⁺ ATPase, SDH, catalase and cytosolic and mitochondrial MDH activity, and was without effect on other enzymes studied.The simultaneous injections of actinomycin D or chloramphenicol and T or E2 prevented the hormonal influence on hepatic enzyme activities. The present study demonstrates that inA. testudineus sex steroids influence hepatic oxidative metabolism by a mechanism sensitive to the action of inhibitors of protein synthesis.

Bilberry extract protect restraint stress-induced liver damage through attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction

The aim of the present study is to investigate the protective effect of bilberry extract on liver damage in restraint stressed mice. A remarkable increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels was observed in stressed mice. Treatment with bilberry extract restored ALT and ROS to normal levels, and enhanced mitochondrial complex II activity that was lowered in restraint stressed mice. The mitochondrial electron transfer chain (ETC)-related gene expression was measured by RT-PCR, and a significant up-regulation of complex II mRNA was observed for SDHA, B, C and D mRNA in bilberry extract-treated group compared with that in stressed group. Bilberry extract administration also profoundly elevated the Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity and mitochondria membrane potential (?Ψ_m), which was reduced in the stressed group. Bilberry extract exhibited protective effect by scavenging free radicals and attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver of restraint stressed mice. It may be used as a promising therapeutic agent in preventing and delaying the life-related disease.
