Abstract
2,3,5-Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride when incubated with slices of epiphyseal cartilage obtained from rachitic rats is much more intensively reduced to its formazan in N than in 02- The reduced formazan is deposited within the cartilage cell. Based on the current interpretation of a similar phenomenon in other tissues, this observation provides additional evidence for the existence of oxidative enzyme systems in cartilage cells.Keywords
