Anaerobic Glycolysis in Dental Pulp

Abstract
Experiments carried out on calf dental pulp showed that lactic acid was formed from glycogen and glucose. Phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, phospho-glucose isomerase, phosphofructose kinase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphogly-ceric acid mutase, enolase, pyruvate kinase and lactic dehydrogenase were present in the tissue. A phosphoric glycolysis by the Embden and Meyerhof pathway is active in bovine dental pulp.
