Abstract
Employing the Warburg technique of tissue slices, slightly modified for handling a large number of slices, the increased O2 consumption attending the synthesis of urea from ammonia and CO2 by rat liver was studied. The results indicate that one molecule of O2 is used for every molecule of urea synthesized. A discussion of some of the general features of biological coupled reactions is included.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
