Abstract The presence of cytoplasmic lipid bodies in human eosinophils and the participation of these lipid bodies in the metabolism of arachidonic acid by human eosinophils have been studied. Lipid bodies, structures of roughly spherical shape and variable size within the cytoplasm, were identified with transmission electron microscopy by their shape and variable osmiophilia and by their lack of a limiting membrane. While generally absent from eosinophils of normal peripheral blood, lipid bodies were found in tissue eosinophils and in blood eosinophils from patients with eosinophilia. A role for lipid bodies in arachidonic acid metabolism was determined with eosinophils obtained from two eosinophilic patients. After incubation for 30 to 60 minutes with 3H- arachidonic acid, purified eosinophils took up 50% to 98% of the tritium label. By electron microscopic autoradiography, almost all tritium label was localized to lipid bodies. Only 3.6% of the cell- incorporated tritium label was free arachidonic acid, while 5.8% was neutral lipids and 66% was phospholipid. Thus, most of the tritiated arachidonic acid incorporated by human eosinophils was present in esterified form, predominantly as phospholipids, and almost all of the tritiated lipids were localized ultrastructurally to cytoplasmic lipid bodies. These results provide evidence that lipid bodies of human eosinophils have a role in the cellular metabolism of arachidonic acid.

Tritiated thymidine injected intraperitoneally into female mice midway through the gestation period was demonstrated by autoradiographic methods to be incorporated into the nuclei of oocytes of female embryos, observed at the pachytene stage of meiosis 2 to 4 days after the injection. The tritium label was also demonstrated in the oocyte nuclei of the daughters of similarly treated females at maturity (6 weeks post partum). It was also found that some follicle cells, likewise labeled with H3-thymidine in mid-fetal life, persisted to maturity with few or no intervening mitoses. The observations are presented in support of the prevailing view that individual oocytes which arise from germ cell primordia in fetal stages become the egg cells of the adult female mammal.

Is glucose, fructose or mannose fermented anaerobically with yeast in H2O/HOT, the ethanol formed shows 30% tritium in the methyl group, 48-54% in the 1-R-position (HNAD) and 44-52% in the 1-S-position (HDec)· The tritium content per gram atom hydrogen of the water is assumed to be 100 per cent. As the fermentation proceeds the tritium label in the 1-R-position increases. From glucose-1-T 30% and from glucose-6-T 24% of the tritium do not appeare in the ethanol formed.. 20% of the tritium label from glucose-2-T are incorporated into the methyl group of ethanol. Using glucose-1-14C and glucose-6-14C the pentose cycle was determined to be 9,7 per cent. This is in good agreement with the figure obtained with glucose-3-T. Glucose-1-T-6-phosphate is discriminated in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction against the nonlabeled material.

Baker’s yeast was incubated anaerobically and aerobically in H2O/HOT with uniformly labeled 14C-glucose. After partial fermentation the tritium distribution in some intermediates was determined. The equilibriums glucose-6-phosphate ⇄ frucose 6-phosphate ⇄ mannose-6-phosphate has not been reached. The tritium distribution in mannose-6-phosphate markedly differs from that in glucose- and fructose-6-phosphate. In fructose-1,6-diphosphate C-3, 4 and 5 have obtained the highest tritium label possible. The tritium content in the methyl group of ethanol is in good agreement with that obtained by adding up the tritium incorporation of every single step determined experimentally.
