STUDIES ON BLOOD GLYCOLYSIS

Studies on Blood Glycolysis I. Effect of Arsenate

Meyerhof (8) has shown that arsenate stimulates the decomposition of carbohydrate and of hexosephosphate esters by the glycolytic enzyme of muscles. This observation brings muscle glycolysis into close relationship with fermentation of sugar by yeast or yeast products. Harden and Young (6) who discovered the stimulating action of the phosphate ion on the process of alcoholic fermentation were l...

Studie:s of Blood Glycolysis

The series of experiments presented in this paper demonstrate certain relationships in the progressive changes of sugar and phosphorus observed in defibrinated blood incubated in vitro at 370 C. through periods of from ten to twenty-four hours. The accompanying figures illustrate a pattern of these changes which may be regarded as characteristic of normal bloods and bloods of normal animals ren...

Studies on human platelet glycolysis. Effect of glucose, cyanide, insulin, citrate, and agglutination and contraction on platelet glycolysis.

Evidence for a metabolically active plasma-free platelet system is presented. Glycogenolysis was found to be a potent pathway for lactate production. Aerobic glycolysis constituted a major fraction of glucose metabolized. Both insulin and cyanide increased lactate production in the presence of glucose. The Krebs cycle appeared to be operative for ATP synthesis when citrate was used as substrate...
