Abstract: | Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH) activities were measured in lobular areas expanding between 3 portal tracts and an efferent central vein in the livers of male Wistar rats, using a Lowry technique. The maximum of LDH activity was found in a nearly uniform broad area in the lobular periphery. From that area values decreased along periportal/septal-->perivenous gradients, but only slightly within that area along the periportal-->septal axis of the vascular septum. Maximum values of 6-PGDH activity were present in an intermediate area close to the central vein demonstrating a rather inhomogeneous distribution pattern without a clear definition of zonal limits. Our data on the distribution pattern of LDH are in agreement with the concept of the metabolic lobulus and are supported by a recent evaluation of the vascular architecture in rat liver. The lobular distribution pattern of 6-PGDH cannot be interpreted without doubt in accordance with that concept. |
