Metabolism of the stimulated rat spleen. I. Ferrochelatase activity as an index of tissue erythropoiesis.

Assay of the enzyme ferrochelatase in marrow, liver, spleen, and red cells has been employed to assess the extent of erythropoietic stimulation in animals bearing the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma and in rats treated by administration of phenylhydrazine, cobalt chloride, human urinary erythropoietin, or chronic blood loss. In all instances, the spleen sustains the most marked increase of ferrochelatase activity, per gram of tissue. Spleen erythropoietic activity stimulation was confirmed by quantitative measurements in respiring slices of (59)Fe and (14)C incorporation into hemoglobin and ferritin. Increased spleen ferrochelatase activity in cobalt chloride-treated rats is prevented by actinomycin D, indicating that stimulated synthesis of the enzyme is associated with the metabolism of RNA.

Studies on the activity of cholinesterase included on silica gel.

Cholinesterase was immobilized in silica gel. The activity of the bound enzyme was determined by comparing the concentrations of hydrogen ions in the solution entering and leaving the reactor, filled with a suspension of the insoluble enzyme in Sephadex.
