Popis: The activity of the glycolytic enzymes and of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) were compared with the content of noradrenaline in rat myocardium and the liver after the intraperitoneal injection of high doses of noradrenaline. It was shown that 24 hours after int noradrenaline injection which caused exhaustion of endogenous catecholamine supply, the lactate content and the activities of lactic dehydrogenase were increased in the myocardium; the activity of hexokinase and G-6-PDH in rat myocardium and the liver were also increased, whereas the glucokinase activity was decreased. In these experiments alterations of the enzyme activities were shown to be similar to the alterations in the dystrophic tissues in which the catecholamine content was sharply decreased. The role of the sympathetic nervous system and its mediators in the mechanism of the enzyme regulation of the energy metabolism in the myocardium and the liver is discussed.
