Abstract
Citric acid (1[mu]g/g wet weight) of blood, diaphragm, duodenum, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen was determined colorimetrically in the following groups of mice: (a) normal mice, (b) mice exposed 3-4 months to simulated 20,000 ft., (c) mice injected daily with 1 mg cortisone for 2 weeks, and (d) mice starved 17 hours. Mice of group (b) had 20-30% less tissue citrate than (a). There was no change in (c) except kidney increased and spleen decreased. Citrate increased in all tissue of group (d). Group (b) mice were more susceptible to Salmonella typhimurium in-fectlon than mice of group (a).
