Influence of Aneurin and Aneurin Pyrophosphate on Anaerobic Pyruvate Metabolism of Pig Heart Muscle in vitro

Abstract

IN the course of investigations on the anaerobic metabolism of pyruvate by minced pig heart muscle, we made some observations on effects of aneurin and aneurin pyrophosphate, which we think worth recording in this preliminary note. We will discuss only the influence of both compounds on carbon dioxide production, and postpone the description of effects observed on the formation of other metabolic products such as lactic acid, acetoin, etc.
