Abstract
We have developed a procedure for the accurate measurement of histidine decarboxylase in tissues expressing low levels of enzymatic activity. Briefly, histamine is enzymatically synthesized from [3H]-labeled histidine, followed by purification using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and quantitation by liquid scintillation counting. This method presents three advantages over previous techniques. First, prior to HPLC purification, excess precursor [3H]histidine is removed on an anion-exchange resin. Second, purification by HPLC is considerably more selective than that of classical cation-exchange gravity columns or organic solvent extractions. Finally, the accuracy of this method is improved by including non-radiolabeled histamine as internal standard, which is quantified by ultraviolet detection. This simple procedure allows highly sensitive and accurate determinations of histamine synthesis.

Abstract
A simple closed system for the serial determination of 14CO2 in small volumes of fluid samples, is described. The device consists of commercially available scintillation vials and silicone tube seals. 14CO2 is selectively liberated by citric acid and absorbed in a scintillation vial by Hyamine. Experiments on the effect of dichloroacetate on pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in rat hindlimbs perfused with [1-14C]pyruvate demonstrate the applicability of the method.

Abstract
Testosterone stimulated, at the concentration of 10-7 M and independently of other hormones, the accumulation of polysomal poly(A)-containing RNA (mRNA) in cultured explants of rat ventral prostate and concomitantly also protein synthesis. The hormone-induced accumulation of polysomal mRNA, which reached its maximum at 24 h after testosterone addition, paralleled the preferential labeling of high molecular weight RNA demonstrable with the electrophoretic analysis of the double-isotope labeled RNA after a short pulse (30 min). These findings are consistent with the idea that testosterone activated the synthesis of precursor mRNA leading to an increased amount of polysomal mRNA and eventually an activated protein synthesis. The synthesis and maturation of rRNA appeared to proceed even in the absence of testosterone, which is in contrast to the vivo findings on castrated rats. This partial uncoupling of RNA synthesis from androgenic control may account for the slow and less marked hormonal responses found in protein synthesis and glucose metabolism in cultured explants from normal animals. Because of the lack of uniformity in the suture, routine light microscopic control to assess the viability of cultured explants was found to be a prerequisite for successful biochemical work on prostate culture.

Abstract
There are minute and varying amounts of glucose in seminal plasma. Findings on vasectomized men suggest that it is derived from accessory sex glands. The glucose content was shown to correlate negatively to the number of spermatozoa and the time period elapsed from ejaculation, indicating that seminal glucose was utilized by spermatozoa even in the presence of a 50-fold concentration of fructose. Large interindividual variations in the glucose utilization as reflected in the 14CO2 production from 14C-glucose by spermatozoa could not be explained by the parameters examined in routine semen analysis. Fructose and glucose maintained equally well the ATP content and motility of spermatozoa at the concentrations found normally in semen. Fructose may thus supplement and substitute for glucose as an energy source, and the addition of glucose into the semen or the measurement of its content would not give any advantage for the analysis of semen samples.

Abstract
The hypothesis that N-terminal histidine peptides might act as inhibitors to histidine decarboxylase was investigated. A murine mastocytoma was utilized as enzyme source. The crude extract of this tissue exhibits high rates of decarboxylation of both histidine and DOPA and was used to establish the specificity in the effect of the compounds tested. For kinetic analyses a highly purified histidine decarboxylase fraction was used. The effect of some representative peptides on both enzyme activities were recorded. Histidine decarboxylase exclusively was inhibited by N-terminal histidine peptides. None of the other peptides investigated interfered negatively with this enzyme. This inhibition was consistent in the purified preparation and appeared to be more pronounced with increasing hydrophobicity in the second amino acid. Histidyl-phenylalanine was found to be about 100-fold as potent as the commonly used specific histidine decarboxylase inhibitor alpha-methyl histidine. It is concluded that small peptides with histidine as the N-terminal amino acid might act as specific inhibitors for mammalian histidine decarboxylase. An analog effect of small tyrosyl or phenylalanyl peptides was not seen for the DOPA decarboxylase.
