Considering that the excessive usage of vitamin E causes hypervitaminosis and thus reduces blood erythrocyte concentrations, therefore it is worth studying how its pharmacological dosage affects the activity of carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme found in erythrocytes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in vitro and in vivo. Vitamin E inhibited CA enzyme and the IC50 value of the vitamin was 0.039 mM in vitro. Similarly, it was seen that vitamin E inhibited CA enzyme activity after the first hour following vitamin E injections in vivo. The activities of CA in groups of trout given vitamin E injection were measured at 1, 3 and 5 h and the corresponding activities were found to be 772.7 ± 290.5 (P < 0.05), 1286.4 ± 378.2 and 1005.7 ± 436.1 enzyme units (EU) g Hb-1. The difference over the control was significant (P < 0.05) in the first hour and insignificant at 3 and 5 h (P ? 0.05). The activity of CA in the control, which did not contain vitamin E, was determined as 1597.7 ± 429.0 EU g Hb-1.

We examined whether the relationships between mitochondrial enzyme activity, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) were conserved in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) tissues that differ widely in their metabolic and molecular organization. The activity of citrate synthase (CS), expressed either per gram of tissue or per milligram of total DNA, indicated that these tissues (blood, brain, kidney, liver,cardiac, red and white muscles) varied more than 100-fold in mitochondrial content. Several-fold differences in the levels of CS mRNA per milligram of DNA and CS activity per CS mRNA were also observed, suggesting that fundamental differences exist in the regulation of CS levels across tissues. Although tissues varied 14-fold in RNA g-1, poly(A+) RNA (mRNA)was approximately 2 % of total RNA in all tissues. DNA g-1 also varied 14-fold across tissues, but RNA:DNA ratios varied only 2.5-fold. The relationship between two mitochondrial mRNA species (COX I, ATPase VI) and one mitochondrial rRNA (16S) species was constant across tissues. The ratio of mtRNA to mtDNA was also preserved across most tissues; red and white muscle had 10- to 20-fold lower levels of mtDNA g-1 but 7- to 10-fold higher mtRNA:mtDNA ratios, respectively. Collectively, these data suggest that the relationship between mitochondrial parameters is highly conserved across most tissues, but that skeletal muscles differ in a number of important aspects of respiratory gene expression ('respiratory genes'include genes located on mtDNA and genes located in the nucleus that encode mitochondrial protein) and mtDNA transcriptional regulation.
