The role of citric acid in intermediate metabolism in animal tissues
Abstract
In the present paper experiments are reported which throw new light on the problem of the intermediate stages of oxidation of carbohydrate; in conjunction with the work of Szent‐Györgyi 20), Stare and Baumann 19) and Martius and Knoop 13,14) the new experiments allow us to outline the principal steps of the oxidation of sugar in animal tissues.

“At the nexus of both catabolic and anabolic metabolism lies the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a broadly conserved metabolic pathway consisting of a cyclic series of chemical reactions that harness high-energy electrons from fuel sources (1, 2, 3).”

In the citing paper
“By adding malonate, an inhibitor of succinate oxidation, they found that succinate accumulated when OAA was added to muscle, implying that this series of reactions was cyclical in nature (2, 32).”

“Moreover, they found that citrate did not disappear during this process, indicating that it was being continuously reformed (2, 32).”

In the citing paper
“These crucial experiments teed up the findings of Hans Krebs and his colleague William Johnson (2) in Enzymologia in 1937, in which they discovered that citrate was readily oxidized by minced pigeon breast muscle and that citrate addition increased oxygen uptake beyond the amount necessary for the complete oxidation of the added citrate, indicating that citrate itself was stimulating consumption”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
