1. Rat liver tryptophan pyrrolase activity is enhanced by a hormonal-type mechanism during the first 2 days of starvation and by a substrate-type mechanism during the subsequent 2 days. 5-Aminolaevulinate synthase activity is also enhanced during the first 2 days of starvation, but returns thereafter to values resembling those observed in the fed rat. Treatments that prevent or reversé the enhancement of tryptophan pyrrolase activity in 24-48h-starved rats also abolish that of 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activity. Starvation of guinea pigs, which does not enhance the pyrrolase activity, also fails to alter that of the synthase. It is suggested that the decrease in 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activity in 72-96h-starved rats represents negative-feedback repression of synthesis, possibly involving tryptophan participation, whereas the enhancement observed in 24-48h-starved animals is caused by positive-feedback induction secondarily to increased utilization of the regulatory-haem pool by the newly synthesized apo-(tryptophan pyrrolase). 2. Glucose, fructose and sucrose abolish the 24h-starvation-induced increases in rat liver tryptophan pyrrolase and 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activities. Cortisol reverses the glucose effect on 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activity, presumably by enabling pyrrolase to re-utilize the regulatory-haem pool after induction of synthesis of this latter enzyme. 3. The impaired ability of 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide to enhance markedly 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activity in 24h-starved rats treated with glucose is associated with a failure of the porphyrogen to cause loss of tryptophan pyrrolase haem. Cortisol restores the ability of the porphyrogen to destroy tryptophan pyrrolase haem and to enhance markedly 5-aminolaevulinate synthase activity, presumably by enhancing tryptophan pyrrolase synthesis and, thereby, its re-utilization of the regulatory-haem pool. It is tentatively suggested that 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide destroys the above pool only after it has become bound to (or utilized by) apo-(tryptophan pyrrolase).
