The effect of chronic acid feeding and its subsequent withdrawal was determined on the amounts of the metabolic intermediates and enzymic activities of the purine nucleotide cycle. Sprague-Dawley rats were given 1.5% (w/v) NH4Cl in their drinking water for 5 days. The renal excretion of NH3 rose 70-fold and the rats developed acidosis. The amount of renal IMP rose from a control value of 4.5 +/- 2.2 to 20.4 +/- 3.7nmol/g of kidney after 48h of acid feeding (P less than 0.001) and fell to normal within 48h of the recovery. Adenylosuccinate concentrations fell from a control value of 4.5 +/- 0.9nmol/g of kidney to 1.2 +/- 0.3nmol/g (P less than 0.005) by day 5 of acidosis and continued to fall to undetectable values by 48h after recovery. The amount of AMP remained constant through the acid-feeding and the recovery periods. The activity of adenylosuccinate synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the purine nucleotide cycle, paralleled the rise and fall in NH3 excretion. The activities of phosphate-dependent glutaminase and glutamate dehydrogenase were elevated during the acid-feeding and the recovery period. Thus changes in the purine nucleotide cycle correlate with changes in NH3 excretion to a more parallel degree than does the activity of glutaminase or glutamate dehydrogenase.
