    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le métabolisme glucidique du tissu adipeux diabétique après incubation pendant 16 h dans un tampon contenant du glucose et de l'albumine, avec et sans insuline a été examiné. Le métabolisme glucidique d' abord diminué s'élevait à des taux normaux lors de l'incubation. Puisque la phlorizine supprimait cet effet stimulateur de l'incubation la diffusion facilitée du glucose semble être en cause. La sensibilité à l'insuline était maintenue pendant l'incubation, mais elle n'augmentait pas. — La libération de glycérol ainsi que l'incorporation du glucose-U-14C dans la fraction glycéride-glycérol augmentaient au cours de l'incubation et, alors, étaient inhibées par l'insuline. La synthèse des acides gras à partir du glucose-U-14C augmentait également mais n'atteignait pas des valeurs normales. — Tandis que le transport du glucose limite le métabolisme du glucose dans le tissu adipeux normal, la phosphorylation devenait le facteur limitant après l'incubation prolongée. Un agent inhibiteur de la synthèse des protéines, la cycloheximide, inhibait la stimulation du métabolisme du glucose par l'incubation même, tandis que l'actinomycine D était sans effet.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Diabetisches Fettgewebe wurde während 16 Std in einem Puffer mit Albumin und Glucose mit und ohne Insulin inkubiert, und die resultierenden Stoffwechselveränderungen mit Glucose-U-14C während einer zweiten Inkubation gemessen. Der anfänglich verminderte Glucosestoffwechsel des diabetischen Gewebes normalisierte sich im Verlaufe der Vorinkubation. Da Phlorizin diesen Vorinkubationseffekt auf die Glucoseaufnähme hemmte, darf eine Steigerung der Aktivität des mobilen Carriers dafür verantwortlich gemacht werden. Die Insulinempfindlichkeit des Gewebes blieb während der verlängerten Inkubation erhalten, nahm aber nicht parallel zur basalen Glucoseaufnahme zu. — Die Glycerinabgabe und der Einbau von Glucose-U-14C in die Glycerid-Glycerol-Fraktion nahm während der Inkubation zu und beide wurden durch Insulin zum Teil gehemmt. Die Fettsäuresynthese aus Glucose-U-14C wurde gesteigert, normalisierte sich aber nicht vollständig. — Im Gegensatz zu normalem Gewebe wurde an Stelle des Transportes die Phosphorylierung der Glucose zum geschwindigkeitsbestimmenden Faktor des Glucosestoff-wechsels. Cycloheximid verminderte den Vorinkubationseffekt auf den Glucosestoffwechsel, während Actinomycin D ohne Wirkung war.
    Notes: Summary The metabolism of diabetic adipose tissue was studied after prolonged preïncubationin vitro (16 h) in a medium containing albumin and glucose with and without insulin. The initially decreased glucose uptake and metabolism of diabetic adipose tissue rose to normal levels during incubation. This increase was subject to inhibition by phlorizin, indicating that facilitated glucose diffusion was responsible. The tissue remained insulinsensitive during prolonged incubation. However, insulin sensitivity did not increase in the same way as basal glucose uptake. — Glycerol release and incorporation of glucose-U-14C into glyceride-glycerol increased during incubation, and both were inhibited to some extent by insulin. Fatty acid synthesis from glucose-U-14C increased during incubation but did not reach normal values. — Unlike tissues of fed rats, phosphorylation of glucose rather than transport became the rate-limiting step in glucose metabolism after prolonged incubationin vitro. Cycloheximide, but not actinomycin D, inhibited the preïncubation effect.

    Notes: Abstract The use of the egg production rate of herbivorous copepods as an important parameter for understanding population dynamics and as an index of secondary production requires knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms involved and of the response to changes in food concentrations and temperature. Furthermore, the effects of season and generation on egg production have to be studied. In this context data are presented for Calanus finmarchicus from the northern North Atlantic. Prefed and prestarved females were exposed to different concentrations of the diatom Thalassiosira antarctica over 1 to 2 wk at 0 or 5 °C, and egg deposition was controlled daily. Egg production increased with higher food concentrations, but much less when prestarved. The effect of temperatures between −1.5 and 8 °C on egg production was studied in females maintained at optimum feeding conditions. Egg production rate increased exponentially over the whole temperature range by a factor of 5.2, from 14.2 to 73.4 eggs female−1 d−1, and carbon-specific egg production by 4, from 2.1 to 8.5% body C d−1. The response to starvation was also temperature dependent. In both the temperature and feeding experiments egg production rate was regulated mainly by changes of the spawning interval, while changes of clutch size were independent of experimental conditions. Different responses to optimum feeding conditions were observed in females collected in monthly intervals on three occasions between March and May. The March females deposited more clutches than the April and May females. In May, 〉50% of the females did not spawn at all. Maximum egg production rates were never 〉25% of the rate expected at 5 °C, indicating endogenous control of egg production in addition to food and temperature effects.

    Notes: Abstract The Channel of Santa Cruz is a mangrove area in northeastern Brasil 40 km north of Recife. Until 1991 a chlor-alkali factory discharged large amounts of mercury into the main tributary of the channel, the Rio Botafogo. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of the mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae as a bioindicator for mercury in this area and to examine the influence of condition on mercury concentrations in the oysters. The investigation was carried out in the late rainy season (July to September) 1993, in the rainy season (April to June) 1994 and in the dry season (November/December) 1994. At 11 stations in the channel, mangrove oysters, surface sediments and suspended matter were sampled, representing different compartments of the system. The distribution of mercury in the Channel of Santa Cruz exhibited for all compartments the same distinct spatial pattern with maxima in the Rio Botafogo. Seasonal variations were small and revealed no clear tendencies. In addition, mangrove oysters were transplanted from more contaminated stations to less contaminated stations and vice versa. These experiments were designed to study the oysters' capability to adjust their mercury concentrations to a changing bioavailability of mercury. The transplantation experiments suggest that the oysters are capable to adjust to changing ambient mercury availability within a few months. The transplantation experiments also revealed the importance of condition changes on the mercury concentration of the oysters. This factor should not be ignored during pollution studies. However, condition had apparently no strong influence on the spatial or seasonal mercury variations of the oysters. The mangrove oyster is a suitable bioindicator for long-term changes in mercury availability.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of intravenous injections of the opiate antagonist naloxone (0.005–0.4 mg/kg body weight) on respiratory pattern, apnoea duration and frequency were investigated in six infants with severe sleep apnoea syndrome. Since several authors found elevated plasma- and CSF-levels of endogenous opioids (endorphines) in infants with sleep apnoea syndrome, we wanted to determine whether the impairment of the control mechanisms of respiration during sleep is due to an effect of endogenous opioids. Independent of the dose, naloxone did not exert any effect on respiratory pattern and occurrence of periodic apnoea. We were unable to prove that endorphines play a major role in pathogenesis of sleep apnoea syndrome in infancy and possibly in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). We speculate that elevated levels of endorphines reported by some investigators rather seem to be a consequence of hypoxic stress than a cause for sleep apnoeas.

    Notes: Summary The influence of the debrisoquine/sparteine-type of oxidation polymorphism on plasma bufuralol concentration and the pattern of urine metabolites was studied in extensive and poor metabolizer subjects. (+)- and (−)-bufuralol, and (+)- and (−)-OH-bufuralol in plasma were determined by enantioselective HPLC, and urinary bufuralol and its metabolites were assayed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Three hours after administration of racemic bufuralol the plasma (−)/(+) isomeric ratio for unchanged bufuralol was 1.84 in extensive metabolizers, indicating preferential clearance of the (+)-isomer through aliphatic 1′-hydroxylation and glucuroconjugation, while the (−)-isomer was mainly eliminated by aromatic 4-hydroxylation. Poor metabolizers were characterized by impaired 1′- and 4-hydroxylation, with almost total abolition of the stereoselectivity of these reactions. The data strongly suggest that both 1′- and 4-hydroxylation are catalyzed by the same enzyme. These in vivo observations are in agreement with recent in vitro data obtained in human liver microsomes from phenotyped patients and support the concept of deficiency of a highly stereoselective cytochrome P-450 isozyme as the cause of this polymorphism.

    Notes: Summary The Far Eastern and Caucasian populations are strikingly different with respect to the debrisoquine/sparteine hydroxylation polymorphism. The number of poor metabolizers, as defined for Caucasians, is very low among Chinese and Japanese. We investigated the molecular basis for this difference by analysis of the CYP2D6 gene in 115 Chinese subjects, combined with phenotypic classification of codeine and debrisoquine metabolism. A correlation between the rates of metabolism of these two drugs and genotype, as analyzed by RFLP using XbaI, was observed among the Chinese. A high frequency (37%) of alleles indicative of gene insertions (reflected by Xba I 44kb fragments) was recorded in the Chinese, but was not associated with the poor metabolizer phenotype, as it is in Caucasians. PCR amplification of part of the CYP2D6 gene with mutation specific primers for CYP2D6A (29A) and CYP2D6B (29B) allelic variants revealed that the XbaI 44kb fragment in Chinese apparently contains a functional CYP2D6 gene, in contrast to the situation among Caucasians. The results provide a molecular explanation of the interethnic difference in the metabolism of drugs affected by the debrisoquine hydroxylation polymorphism.
