TL;DR
When measured under optimal conditions (at pH 5.5 and in the presence of 0.5 mM Mn++), NADPH oxidase activity increased fourfold with phagocytosis and was six-fold higher than with NADH.
Abstract
We measured the cyanide-insensitive pyridine nucleotide oxidase activity of fractionated resting and phagocytic neutrophils from 11 normal donors, 1 patient with hereditary deficiency of myeloperoxidase, and 7 patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). When measured under optimal conditions (at pH 5.5 and in the presence of 0.5 mM Mn++), NADPH oxidase activity increased fourfold with phagocytosis and was six-fold higher than with NADH. Phagocytic neutrophils from patients with CGD were markedly deficient in NADPH oxidase activity.

The deficiency of bactericidal capacity and the minimal degranulation after active phagocytosis by the PMN of these children with an inherited syndrome suggest that separate metabolic processes are involved in phagocytetosis and in intracellular digestion.

Chronic granulomatous disease is an X-linked defect in the killing of certain bacteria by peripheral blood granulocytes and may be detected with the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test.

It appears that the stimulation of respiration with the formation of hydrogen peroxide and stimulation of the direct oxidative pathway of glucose metabolism are closely linked to degranulation and intracellular killing of bacteria by polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

The clinical syndrome presented by these patients is similar to various disease states that have been previously well characterized, and the most striking similarity is with chronic suppurative lymphadenitis.

The metabolic stimulation of PMN leucocytes by phagocytosis is supported by changes in kinetic properties of NADPH oxidase, which induces a 3-fold increase of the intracellular NADP + NADPH ratio, without affecting the NAD+ NADH ratio.

A technique that allows the direct quantitative estimation of H2O2 in polymorphonuclear leukocytes has been developed and indicates the presence of a non-dialyzable catalase-limiting component(s) in the polymorphon Nuclear Leukocytes.

The enzyme was deficient in leukocytes of five patients with chronic granulomatous disease and this lack of adequate reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide oxidase could be the basis for the metabolic abnormalities characteristic of these leukocyte and for their diminished bactericidal activity.

Gli autori dimostrano che l'aumento della respirazione dei leucociti durante la fagocitosi non è dovuto a fuoriuscita di una NADH-ossidasi dai granuli, ma alla maggiore attività NADH e soprattutto NADPH-ossidasica localizzata in granuli non lisati.

The phosphogluconate pathway occurs in leukocytes, though less than 10 per cent of utilized glucose traverses this pathway, and the higher percentages in leukemic cells are attributed to their deficiencies of hexokinase.

It was found that liver slices showed differences similar to those shown by leucocytes, but that the kidney slices did not, and the possibility has not been ruled out that the difference in rate of respiration of liver slices due to infection might be caused by tuberculous lesions in the livers of infected animals.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder in which phagocytes are unable to manufacture microbicidal oxidants and may be classified into subtypes depending upon the mode of transmission (X-linked or autosomal recessive) and the presence or absence of a heme protein designated 'cytochrome b558'.

Guinea pig peritoneal exudate polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have KCN-sensitive and insensitive NADPH oxidation activity and the increased oxidative burst associated with phagocytosis can be accounted for by the stimulated NADPH oxidase activity.
