Values for oxidation quotient (^O^) are expressed in cu mm oxygen consumed per mg dry weight of tissue per hour, 

 unless otherwise indicated.

 oxygen consumed per g wet weight per min. /4/ Converted to dry weight basis from author's data for fresh tissue. 

 Since nerve tissue contains approximately 7 5% water, a per mg dry weight value was obtained by multiplying by 4.
