Abstract
Summary
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was shown to be an uncoupling agent for oxidative phosphorylation and to stimulate the respiration of rat liver mitochondria in a phosphate-deficient medium, p-chlorophenoxy-acetic acid was much less potent in producing the above effects. Indole-3-acetic acid, indole butyric acid, and α-naphthaleneacetic acid were inactive. The results are discussed in relation to the metabolism of plant and animal tissues.
