Effect of Aerobic Pre-incubation on Glycolysis in Resting and Proliferating Liver Cells

Abstract

A SHORT aerobic pre-incubation period before the onset of anaerobiosis greatly stimulates the rate of anaerobic glycolysis in slices of tissue. This fact, discovered by Rosenthal and Lasnitzky many years ago1, has later been confirmed2–4; but the mechanism of action of the previous incubation remains up to now largely unexplained.
