INFLUENCE OF PYRUVATE, CITRATE AND DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS OF THE KrEBS CYCLE ON AEROBIC 

 GLYCOLYSIS IN THE HEMOLYSATE. TIME 2 HOURS, T 25° 



4. Influence of ions on the aerobic metabolism in presence and absence of glucose 



Two different effects of ions on the aerobic metabolism in the hemolysate can be 

 observed. The first is specific for magnesium ions and the second is common to all 

 multivalent ions. In this second group, the nature and the charge of the ion is important 

 for the intensity of the effect.
