Abstract
Summary
1. An assay system is described for the direct measurement of the ability of heart preparations to couple esterification of phosphate with oxygen uptake. With this system a high efficiency of phosphorylation is obtained with normal rabbit heart tissue. 2. Heart tissue preparations from rabbits made dystrophic by lack of vit. E showed no decrease in the ability to carry out oxidative phosphorylation.
