Metabolism of normal and tumour tissue

Abstract
Nervous tissues and testes suffered a large fall in respiration when deprived of glucose; kidney and spleen were less affected, and embryonic tissues (chick, rat, rabbit, and rat yolk-sac) still less. Brain and retina oxidized fructose with a R. Q. of unity, as did rat embryo and rat yolk-sac. The R. Q. of testes, kidney, and liver was raised by fructose above the value in the absence of sugar. Jensen rat sarcoma had the same R. Q. in glucose as in fructose.
