Abstract
Conclusions
1. It is shown by complete double respiratory quotients that in the case of renal tissue, the error of the Warburg-Barcroft manometers is, on the average, ±0.014.
2. The quotients were all between 0.7 and 1.0, and are fully accounted for by the oxidation of foodstuffs, without postulating the transformation of one into another.
3. As evidenced by the rise in the respiratory quotient, isolated tissue can oxidize glucose offered it in solution.
