  • This study was undertaken to investigate the changes of enzyme activities resulted from low concentrated carbon monoxide poisoning on the caudate nucleus in rat. The activities of cytochrome oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydragenase were observed histochemically, after the experimental animals were poisoned to 100ppm carbon monoxide for 8 hours every day from one day to 16 days. The materials were sliced from coronal section at the level of the optic chiasm and immediately frozen sections of $10{\mu}m$ thickness were cut on the cryostat at $-15^{\circ}C$ and incubated in the medium containing substrate for histochemical detection of cytochrome oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase. The sections were mounted in glycerol gelatin and observed under light microscope. It was obtained that cytochrome oxidase activity decreased moderately and succinate dehydrogenase activity showed marked or moderate activity during entire poisoning period and lactate dehydrogenase activity showed marked or moderate activity from one to 8 days but recovered to normal condition at 16th day.

  • The utilization of acetate by Dunaliella tertiolecta was examined, and the detections and assays of the enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the glyoxylate pathway were described. Acetate could not be utilized as a sole carbon source for the growth. The carboxyl carbon of acetate was incorporated more rapidly into CO2 than the methyl carbon. It was identified that malate, succinate, citrate and etc., were accumulated whne [U-14C] acetate was supplied to the cell free homogenate. The following enzyme activities were measured; acetothiokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase and aconitase. Though isocitratase, malate synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase could not be detected, 14C from succinate was easily contributed to CO2 and cell component. The evidence suggested that the glyoxylate pathway was not operative and showed that the TCA cycle was the all important pathway in the oxidation of acetate to CO2 in Dunaliella.

  • Numerous ethnomedicinal uses have been attributed to different parts of Annona senegalensis (ASE), including its uses as food and food additives. The present study investigated toxicological and antioxidant effects of 28 days administration of ethanol extracts of ASE stem bark to Wistar strain albino rats. Acute toxicity test was done to determine lethal dose in Wistar rats while sub-acute toxicity test was conducted on rats divided into four groups (A - control, B - 50 mg/kg, C - 100 mg/kg, D - 150 mg/kg, respectively and treated for 28 days. Oxidative stress markers in liver and kidney as well as hepatic succinate dehydrogenase activity in the mitochondrial and post mitochondrial fractions (PMF) were evaluated. The $LD_{50}$ value of ASE was > 2,000 mg/kg. White blood cell counts gradually increased, but red blood cell counts and haematocrits level decreased significantly (p < 0.05) by about 50%. Liver enzymes in the serum and mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase activity increased significantly (p < 0.05). Superoxide dismutase and catalase activities also increased in liver mitochondria and PMF while malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione levels increased only in the PMF. Furthermore, only MDA levels increased significantly in the kidney after 28 days extract administration. Histopathological examination showed hepatic necrosis and no obvious signs of nephrotoxicity. Anona senegalensis is relatively safe, but prolonged ingestion could induce oxidative stress and impair ATP synthesis through the modulation of the activity of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase.

  • Local anesthetics were investigated for their effects on mitochondrial electron transport system, production of superoxide radical from submitochondrial particles and malondialdehyde production through lipid per oxidation. Local anesthetics had various effects on activities of enzymes in electron transport chain. The activities of NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase were effectively inhibited by lidocaine, procaine and dibucaine but slightly influenced by cocaine. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase were inhibited by lidocaine and dibucaine, but the succinate oxidase activity was stimulated by local anesthetics. Both dihydroubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase activities were inhibited by local anesthetics. In these reactions, the response of Complex I segment to local anesthetics was greater than other Complex segments. Local anesthetics inhibited both the superoxide production from submitochondrial particles supplemented with succinate or NADH and the enhanced production of superoxide radicals by antimycin. The malondialdehyde production by oxygen free radicals was inhibited by local anesthetics. These results suggest that the inhibition of superoxide and malondialdehyde production caused by local anesthetics may be brought by suppression of the electron transport in mitochondria at sites in or near complex I segment.

  • The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) is a class of fungicides, which is widely and rapidly used to manage fungal pathogens in the agriculture field. Currently, fungicide resistance to SDHIs has been developed in many different plant pathogenic fungi, causing diseases on crops, fruits, vegetables, and turf. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance is important for effective prevention and resistance management strategies. Two different mechanisms have currently been known in SDHI resistance. The SDHI target genes, SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD, mutation(s) confer resistance to SDHIs. In addition, overexpression of ABC transporters is involved in reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides. In this review, the current status of SDHI resistance mechanisms in phytopathogenic fungi is discussed.

  • An actinomycete, AS-568, which produced an inhibitory substance against succinate dehydrogenase of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and Sarcoma-180 cells of mouse, was isolated. The inhibitory activity was determined by SDI (Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibition) method. The active substance was specific against carcinoma cells compared to normal cells in mouse; liver, kidney and brain. The inhibitory ratio was about 50% after one hr treatment at 37$^{\circ}C$ in vitro. Maximal productivity of active substance was recognized by 5 days culture in glucose-asparagine. The active component in cultural liquid was stable in neutral pH range and heat treatment reasonably, add it was recovered from precipitate by ammonium sulfate or non-dialyrable fraction in cellophane membrane as showing the behavior of high molecular substance.

  • The growth of A calcoaceticus C10 in CL medium was not increased by the addition of 0.5% E-capralactone or succinate, but increased by 0.2% adipate, xylose or even glucose which was not metabolized as a carbon source. The addition of 0.2% glucose after culture in CL medium for 6 hours increased the growth of A. colcoaceticus C10 twice as much as that in CL medium after culture for further 10 hours. Biosynthesis of cyclohexanol dehydrogenase in A. calcoaceticus C10 was not repressed by ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone, succinate, xylose and glucose, but repressed by adipate which is endproduct of cyclohexanol metabolism. The induction of dehydrogenase by cyc1ohexanol in CL medium was not repressed completely by 0.1% adipate, but repressed almost completely by 0.2% adipate in A. calcoaceticus C10.

  • The fsrA gene in Bacillus subtilis has an analogous role of ryhB in E. coli and is controlled under fur, the iron regulator gene. At high concentration of iron the transcription of ryhB is repressed by fur and ryhB is transcribed under low concentration of iron. To spare iron produced ryhB small RNA represses the expression of sdhCDAB (succinate dehydrogenase). This study shows the growth rate of Bacillus subtilis strain of fur and fur/fsrA deletion mutants using organic acids of TCA cycle as carbon source. Mutant strain of fur does not grow well with succinate carbon source, but further deletion of fsrA regain to the growth of wild type strain. Also, nearly same results were observed with citrate and fumarate. These results are consistent to those of E. coli system. But fur and fur/fsrA deletion mutants grow well as much as the growth of wild type with malate carbon source. These results showed that upstream genes of succinate of TCA cycle are repressed by fsrA, but downstream of succinate are not repressed by fsrA.
