Immature caput epididymal sperm accumulate calcium from exogenous sources at a rate 2- to 4-fold greater than mature caudal sperm. Calcium accumulation by these cells, however, is maximal in the presence of lactate as external substrate. This stimulation of calcium

Lactate dehydrogenase C4 isoenzyme (LDH-C4) is involved in the energy metabolism of spermatozoa. Sperm capacitation is considered part of an oxidative process; an NADH oxidase of plasma membrane could be responsible for superoxide anion generation which is required for capacitation.

A general procedure is described to determine the common free D-amino acids except D-proline in mixtures that also contain L-amino acids. The system employs exogenous pure bacterial D-amino acid transaminase coupled with 2-oxohexanoate, which accepts the amino group from D-amino

The inhibitory effect of branched chain amino acids on muscle protein breakdown has been attributed to the ketoanalogue of leucine, alpha-ketoisocaproic acid. In an attempt to demonstrate a possible dose-response relationship for ketoleucine, the postoperative protein breakdown (using urinary excretion

High aminotransferase activities catalyzing the reactions between L-glutamate and L-glutamine and the aliphatic ketomonocarboxylic acids 2-ketoisocaproate, 2-ketocaproate, and 2-ketoisovalerate were observed in pancreatic B-cell mitochondria. While maximal rates of transamination with L-glutamate were observed in the presence of micromolar concentrations
