Metabolism of ketonic acids in animal tissues.

摘要: … If animal tissues decarboxylated pyruvic acid in the same way as yeast extract, ie by fission into aldehyde and C02, no change of pressure would have been observed in our experiments, since CO2 remains in solution as bicarbonate ion at pH 7-8. The mechanism of the decarboxylation in … DISMUTATIONS OF OTHER KETONIC ACIDS In this section experiments will be described which demonstrate that other ketonic acids may react similarly to pyruvic acid. In some tissues, especially in liver and kidney, reaction (3) may be …
