Ornithine decarboxylase in the small intestine of starved rats was stimulated 3- to 10-fold by refeeding or administration of insulin. A peak is observed 3-5 h following treatment after which the enzyme activity rapidly declines. The rise in ornithine decarboxylase is reduced by actinomycin D or cycloheximide. The increase in enzyme activity occurs mainly in the duodenum and jejunum with less than a twofold change being observed in the ileum. A small (twofold) increase in S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity in the small intestine was observed after food, but there was no change in diamine oxidase activity. Whereas pentagastrin and metiamide administration markedly stimulated histidine decarbosylase in the gastric mucosa, no consistent effect of these agents on ornithine decarboxylase in the small intestine was observed. The similarities and differences between histidine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase are discussed.

SUMMARY A study was made of the effects of cyclic AMP, theophylline, cycloheximide, puromycin and actinomycin D on the stimulation by angiotensin of fluid transport by sacs of rat colon mucosa. Cyclic AMP and theophylline, added together or separately, had no effect on fluid transport by colon sacs, suggesting that the stimulation of fluid transport after the application of angiotensin is not mediated through cyclic AMP. Cycloheximide and puromycin (used at concentrations which block colon protein synthesis by 50–90%) had no effect on fluid transport by control colon sacs, but completely blocked the stimulatory response of the colon to angiotensin. In contrast, actinomycin D (at a concentration which significantly inhibits RNA synthesis) did not affect fluid transport in control or angiotensin-stimulated colon sacs. The results are discussed in relation to the possibility that protein synthesis, at the stage of translation, is involved in the action of angiotensin on fluid transport by the colon.
