Lipopolysaccharide, muramyl dipeptide and polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid induce the accumulation of inositol phosphates in blood monocytes and lymphocytes.

Rabbit macrophages (Mø) and lymphocytes (Ly) incubated with three structurally dissimilar immunomodulators, lipopolysaccharide (bacterial endotoxin, LPS), polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly-I:C) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP), were found to accumulate inositol phosphates (IPs) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The threshold concentration of LPS necessary for an increase in IPs in both cell types was less than 1 ng/ml and a maximum effect was observed between 1 and 10 micrograms/ml. The threshold concentrations for poly-I:C and MDP were between 0.1 and 1 microgram/ml for both cell types. Significant increases in the concentration of inositol phosphates occurred between 30 and 60 min after challenge of either cell type with any of the three agents studied. In addition, all three immunomodulators produced a greater accumulation of IPs in macrophages than in mixed lymphocytes and after 2 h appeared to approach a maximum in macrophages, whereas the IPs level in lymphocytes appeared to be still rising after 2 h. In Mø and Ly the IPs level was increased within 10 min of incubation in the presence of either PGE2 or medium previously obtained from cells incubated with LPS. In addition, anisomycin (a protein synthesis inhibitor) and ketoprofen (a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor) inhibited the LPS-stimulated increase of IPs accumulation in both cell types. These two observations suggest that the LPS-stimulated increase in IPs in macrophages and lymphocytes is mediated by a protein intermediate and possibly a prostanoid.

[Vitamin B 6 metabolism in phenylketonuria].

Based on the analysis of the dependence of 4-pyridoxic acid urinary excretion from pyridoxal-5'-phosphate blood plasma level and its statistic distribution it has been shown that vitamin B-6 metabolism in children suffering from phenylketonuria and therefore the criteria of the body saturation with this vitamin differ from those for healthy people. Increased pyridoxal-5'-phosphate blood plasma level has been demonstrated for PKU children. The concentration of 11 ng/ml should be considered as a bottom border of the adequate supply with vitamin B-6. The elevated vitamin B-2 intake approximates vitamin B-6 status indexes of sick children to those usually measured in healthy children. The necessity for the reevaluation of vitamin B-2 and B-6 optimal diet content under this disease and its biochemical validation are discussed.

[Influence of dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio on blood calcium, phosphate and magnesium during gestation in the rabbit].

Sixteen Thiès strain rabbits were used to study the effect of the calcium/phosphorus ratio on plasma calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium levels during pregnancy. Animals were allocated in 2 groups of 8: one receiving a diet with a Ca/P ratio of 1:0 and the other a diet with Ca/P ratio of 2:1. Water was given ad libitum for all rabbits. Results obtained showed that Ca blood level was significantly higher in rabbits receiving the diet with Ca/P ratio of 2:1 before covering and during the first week of pregnancy. During the last 15 d of pregnancy, Ca blood level decreased significantly in the 2 groups of animals. Plasma inorganic phosphorus and magnesium levels were not significantly different in the 2 groups of rabbits until the 2nd wk of pregnancy. But at the end of pregnancy, while phosphatemia and magnesemia decreased in rabbits fed a high Ca/P ratio, in the other group these parameters remained unchanged.

The extraction from the blood of phosphate compounds by canine bone.

Uptake by bone of 99mTc-labeled pyrophosphate (PPi) and ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) involves passage through capillaries in the Haversian system, extracellular fluid space, and membrane of osteoblasts before adsorption onto available apatite surfaces. Passage through capillaries was studied by the outflow-dilution technique in a canine tibia model in mongrel dogs. 51Cr-labeled albumin (nondiffusible reference tracer), sucrose (diffusible reference tracer), PPi, and EHDP were injected into the isolated nutrient tibial artery. Blood was collected from the ipsilateral femoral vein every 15 sec for 2 min. Emax, the apparent extraction at the time of the peaks of the dilution curves, is influenced little by back diffusion; for PP, Emax (mean +/- SD) = 0.42 +/- 0.08 (N = 4); for EHDP, Emax = 0.27 +/- 0.05 (N = 10). Net extraction (apparent fractional retention by bone at 2 min) was 0.36 +/- 0.1 for PP. Emax for 85Sr chloride and 18F sodium in our laboratory is 0.69 +/- 0.11 (N = 14) and 0.70 +/- 0.008 (N = 9), respectively. Permeabilities (P) were calculated by PS = -Fs loge (1-Emax), where Fs = plasma flow and S = capillary surface; the ratio of P for EHDP to P for sucrose was 0.71 which is similar to the ratio of diffusion coefficients, 0.78. The data suggest that EHDP and probably also PPi pass through the capillaries by passive diffusion. As expected, the extraction through capillary walls for EHDP and PPi was lower than that for 85Sr and 18F because of their larger molecular size.

Regulation of blood pyridoxal phosphate in riboflavin deficiency in man.

Synthesis and breakdown of pyridoxal phosphate by erythrocytes were studied in subjects with oral lesions before and after treatment with riboflavin. In vivo conversion of pyridoxine to pyridoxal phosphate as well as in vitro synthesis of pyridoxal phosphate by erythrocytes were lower in subjects with lesions of the mouth and improved markedly after treatment with riboflavin. Erythrocyte phosphatase activity, with pyridoxal phosphate as substrate, was lower in riboflavin-deficient subjects and showed an increase after treatment with riboflavin.

Pharmacologic elevation of blood inorganic phosphate in hypoxemic patients with COPD.

We have shown that in patients with COPD, myocardial efficiency during exercise is enhanced following acute elevations of plasma phosphate (Pi). A decrease in Hb-O2 affinity (increase in P50) was not responsible for the improvement. We postulated that the physiologic benefit was due to the acute reversal of a subclinical myocardial Pi depletion. To further test this hypothesis in a chronic state, we studied nine stable hypoxemic (PaO2 = 64 +/- 2 mm Hg [+/- SEM]) patients with COPD over five weeks: two weeks at normal plasma Pi; and three weeks at elevated plasma Pi, induced by etidronate disodium (Didronel; 750 mg orally daily). Administration of etidronate disodium increased (p less than 0.05) plasma level of Pi (4.4 +/- 0.2 to 5.8 +/- 0.1 mg/dl), RBC level of Pi (3.1 +/- 0.2 to 4.1 +/- 0.2 mg/dl), RBC level of 2,3-DPG (16.2 +/- 1.1 to 21.3 g+/- 1.3 mumol/g of Hb) and P50 (23.7 +/- 0.5 to 26.0 +/- 0.8 mm Hg). At the end of the treatment, the widening of the C(a-v)O2 with exercise (7.1 +/- 0.8 to 8.9 +/- 0.6 ml/dl) was less pronounced than under control conditions (6.9 +/- 0.4 to 10.1 +/- 0.6 ml/dl; p less than 0.02); concomitantly, the crossover point (COP; the PaO2 below which a rightward-shifted Hb-O2 curve causes the C(a-v)O2 to become narrower rather than wider) increased (37 +/- 2 to 49 +/- 1 mm Hg). Indicators of myocardial work efficiency were not affected by etidronate disodium at rest or during exercise. We postulate that during exercise the potential beneficial effect of the rightward shift of the Hb-O2 curve upon cardiac function was negated by the fall of PaO2 to or below the COP level, a situation which would limit increases in tissue O2 extraction.

Effect of phosphate on different blood parameters of labourers at Rusaifa Phosphate Mines, Jordan.

The effect of phosphate on PCV, Hb, platelet count, WBC count and differential leukocytic count were investigated in 36 phosphate mine labourers and 21 office employees (not exposed to phosphate dust) at Rusaifa Phosphate Mines, Jordan. Their age range was 30-40 years and they had worked in the mines for 5 to 10 years. Most parameters were significantly higher in the mine labourers as compared to those of office employees.

Assessment of vitamin B 6 status. Studies on pregnant women and oral contraceptive users.

The vitamin B6 status of 10 pregnant women (third trimester), 9 oral contraceptive agent users, and 12 notnpregnant women (controls) was investigated over a 10-week period by means of the erythrocyte glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (E-GOT) activation test and by measurements of whole blood pyridoxal phosphate levels. Blood pyridoxal phosphate levels in oral contraceptive agent users (7.6 plus or minus 1.1 ng/ml) were significantly lower than in the control group (9.6 plus or minus 1.7 mg/ml)indicating a relative vitamin B6 deficiency. Pyridoxal phosphate levels in pregnant women(5.1 plus or minus 1.3ng/ml) were even lower; in fact, no overlap was found in individual mean values between the pregnant and control groups. The E-GOT activation test did not indicate a vitamin deficiency in the pregnant women or in oral contraceptive agent users and the E-GOT activation factor did not correlate with blood pyridoxal phosphate levels unless results obtained after pyridoxine hydrochloride (20 mg/day) administration were included. The E-GOT activation test appears to be a poor indicator of vitamin B6 status, except in pronounced deficiency as it is less responsive to vitamin depletion than blood pyridoxal phosphate levels, and suffers from relatively large variations in individual control values. This may be a result of factors unrelated to vitamin B6 as blood pyridoxal phosphate levels remained fairly constant in the individuals investigated.
