The effect of fumarate on the respiration of liver and kidney tissue

Abstract

THE interesting theory of Szent-Gy6rgyi and co-workers [Annau et al., 1935] that in respiration the system fumarate-oxaloacetate functions catalytically in transporting activated metabolite hydrogen to the cytochrome (Warburg-Keilin) system has received support in the experiments of Stare & Baumann [1936].Using the manometric method with pigeon breast muscle and heart muscle (swine), the latter investigators observed the following: "1.The oxygen uptake of tissues is increased by very small amounts of fumarate and the increase is much greater than can be accounted for by the oxidation of the fumarate itself.2. Small amounts of added fumarate are detectable after prolonged contact with respiring tissue.3. The increased respiration is normal, that is, the respiratory quotient is not materially changed by the addition of small amounts of fumarate.4. Substances which yield fumarate on contact with tissue-succinate, malate, oxaloacetate-show a similar action to fumarate itself."Recently Szent-Gy6rgyi and co-workers [Annau et at., 1936] have applied quantitative methods for the micro-estimation of oxaloacetic, pyruvic, and malic acids and have given additional evidence in support of their theory.They followed chemically the disappearance of oxaloacetic acid added to muscle and

  • Stare and Baumann also found that added dicarboxylic acids were not used up and could still be detected in the medium, indicating they functioned catalytically.

    “Significantly, they also found that added dicarboxylic acids were not used up and could still be detected in the medium, indicating that these compounds were functioning in a catalytic capacity (33).”
  • Stare and Baumann found that very small quantities of dicarboxylic acids were sufficient to cause an increase in oxygen consumption beyond what was necessary for oxidation of the quantities of substrate added.

    “Support for this idea came the following year when Stare (33) and Baumann found that very small quantities of dicarboxylic acids were sufficient to cause an increase in oxygen consumption and that this increase was beyond what was necessary for the oxidation of the quantities of substrate added.”

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.
