Aim. To investigate the effect of consumption of diets with different content of fat and sugar on the state of the periodontium of rats.Methods. The rats received a semi-synthetic fat-free diet (FFD), a fat diet (5 % sunflower oil), and a sucrose diet (50 % sucrose) for 30 days. Determined the degree of periodontal atrophy, tooth decay and in the gum homogenate - the activity of elastase, catalase, urease, lysozyme and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA).Results. Sugar diet increases the degree of periodontal atrophy and tooth decay, but decreases elastase activity in the gums and increases catalase activity.  Fat diet does not affect periodontal atrophy and tooth decay, but it reduces catalase activity.Conclusion. The increase in the intensity of caries and periodontal atrophy under the influence of a sucrose diet is probably due to the stimulation of the formation of lactic acid. Fat nutrition does not affect the intensity of dental caries and the degree of periodontal atrophy.

The effect of three levels of ascorbic acid on diacetyl and acid production by two mixed-strain cultures was investigated. Each culture was grown in nonfat dry milk reconstituted to 11% total solids with 0.1% added sodium citrate. Ascorbic acid concentrations in the milk were 0, 0.10, and 0.25%. Stimulation of diacetyl production was observed at both concentrations of ascorbic acid. The stimulatory effect of ascorbic acid at both concentrations was approximately the same for each culture. Diacetyl production was initiated earlier in samples containing ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid did not stimulate acid production.

In view of theoretical deductions and the positive results obtained in the above experiments, it would seem probable that the production of waxy degeneration depends upon the action of lactic acid which is formed by the living muscle under the stimulation of infecting bacteria or their toxins, the formation of large amounts of lactic acid and its accumulation being perhaps favored by defective circulation through the injured muscle. The hyaline transformation of muscle acted upon by lactic acid is analogous to the swelling of fibrin placed in dilute acids. This view is supported by both negative and positive experimental evidence—the negative evidence being that simple anemic necrosis, aseptic or antiseptic autolysis whether in vivo or in vitro, or the action of bacteria of various sorts on muscle in vitro, are all incapable of causing changes in muscle cells resembling those characteristic of waxy or hyaline degeneration of striated muscle. The positive evidence consists in the demonstration that lactic acid, even in dilutions comparable to the amounts that can be formed in living muscle, can produce a similar or identical waxy transformation of the striated muscle fibers, both in vitro and in vivo; and also the observation that muscles stimulated to exhaustion, under which condition lactic acid is known to accumulate in the muscle, show microscopically changes identical with those of Zenker's waxy degeneration.

We investigated the hypotheses that norepinephrine stimulates Mg2+ efflux from intact isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes and that adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate stimulates Mg2+ efflux from permeabilized myocytes and isolated mitochondria. Norepinephrine stimulation of Mg2+ release from cardiac myocytes was observed only when cells at approximately 20 mg protein/ml in Mg(2+)-containing buffer were diluted 50- to 60-fold into an Mg(2+)-free medium. Under these conditions, > 30% of total cellular lactic acid dehydrogenase activity was also released, indicating that a significant portion of the cells had died. In other protocols, where Mg2+ efflux from myocytes was not observed, extracellular Mg2+ removal and administration of 10 microM norepinephrine increased 45Ca2+ accumulation by cells in suspension. In single myocytes, Mg2+ removal and norepinephrine administration increased intracellular free [Ca2+] as measured by fura-2 fluorescence microscopy, and this was accompanied by vigorous spontaneous contractile activity followed by Ca2+ overload hypercontracture. With permeabilized myocytes and isolated mitochondria from a variety of sources, adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate did not stimulate Mg2+ efflux. These results suggest that recent evidence for direct hormonal regulation of myocardial Mg2+ homeostasis may need to be reevaluated.

SUMMARYThe effect of aqueous algal extract, yeast extract casein peptone and meat peptone on acid production by 4 strains of lactic acid bacteria was tested manometrically using a milk–bicarbonate medium. A strain-dependent stimulation of the bacteria was detected after 4 h incubation. After fractionation of an aqueous extract of the green algaScenedesmus obliquuson a Sephadex G25 column, 2 fractions with stimulatory activity were found usingStreptococcus lactisas the test organism. One of the peaks of activity, confined to shortening of the lag phase, was due to hypoxanthine which, however, had only a slight stimulatory effect in conventional milk souring tests. The manometric method provides a sensitive and rapid test for detecting compounds with biological activity in µg amounts, but it should be accompanied by milk souring tests for interpretation of the type of stimulation involved.
