A technique is described for the non-recirculating perfusion of inguinal/abdominal mammary tissue in situ in anaesthetized lactating rats. Tissue viability was maintained, without resort to infusion of vasoactive chemicals which may also be effectors of cellular metabolism, for at least 90 min. Total tissue adenine nucleotides (per mg of DNA) were somewhat decreased in perfused relative to non-perfused mammary tissue. DNA content (per g wet wt. of tissue) was diminished after 90 min of perfusion to approx. 65% of its value in control tissue. Adenylate energy-charge ratios were lower in perfused tissue in the absence of hormones than in control tissue. They were increased to control values by the presence of either insulin or isoprenaline in the perfusate. No changes occurred in flow rate of the perfusate that might account for these increases. In mammary tissue perfused without addition of hormones, acetyl-CoA carboxylase activities were similar to those measured in control tissue samples, although activity-ratio measurements implied some increase in the phosphorylation of this enzyme. Insulin or isoprenaline increased the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, especially when this was measured at low concentrations of citrate. Confirming conclusions from previous experiments with mammary acini and explant preparations, insulin activated acetyl-CoA carboxylase in mammary tissue, but inhibition of its activity was not mediated by cyclic AMP.
