Abstract
Summary
Glutamate, which can be catabolized by fowl semen, has an inhibitory effect on respiratory rate and in some experiments on rate of fructolysis. This effect may be explained partly by the catabolism of the glutamate and partly by its chelating effect. Glycine, which acts similarly to glutamate, is not catabolized by fowl semen.
