The maximal catalytic activity of glutamine synthetase was measured in lung homogenates of the rat (being 5.46 +/- 0.29 mumol/min per g wet wt. or 31.70 +/- 2.62 nmol/min per mg of protein at 37 degrees C, in fed animals). The activity is similar to that of liver, but 16-fold higher than that in quadriceps muscles. Chronic (NH4Cl-induced) or acute (HCl-induced) metabolic acidosis had no effects on enzyme activity, but there was a marked increase in the activity of glutamine synthetase in starved (30-40%), streptozotocin-diabetic (17%), dexamethasone-treated (18-22%), laparotomized (25-27%) and septic rats (24-45%).
在大鼠肺匀浆中测定了谷氨酰胺合成酶的最大催化活性(在37℃下,喂食动物的活性为每克湿重5.46±0.29微摩尔/分钟或每毫克蛋白质31.70±2.62纳摩尔/分钟)。该活性与肝脏相似,但比股四头肌中的活性高16倍。慢性(氯化铵诱导)或急性(盐酸诱导)代谢性酸中毒对酶活性无影响,但在饥饿(30 - 40%)、链脲佐菌素诱导糖尿病(17%)、地塞米松处理(18 - 22%)、剖腹手术(25 - 27%)和脓毒症大鼠(24 - 45%)中,谷氨酰胺合成酶的活性显著增加。
