Abstract
A study of rat-brain mitochondria has shown that these preparations possess pro-perties not found in the mitochondria of liver, kidney and heart. Rat-brain mitochondria were found capable of oxidizing glucose and glycolytic intermediates completely to CO2 and water. Ca, which is inhibitory to freshly prepared liver and kidney mito-chondrial preparations, stimulates the oxidation of citrate by brain mitochondrial preparations.Keywords
