Effect of Glucose on Oxygen Consumption and Respiratory Quotient of Normal and Denervated Muscle. ∗

Abstract

Summary

1. The oxygen consumption of innervated muscle in vitro is significantly greater in the presence of glucose than in the absence of glucose. 2. The presence or absence of glucose produces no significant difference in the oxygen consumption of denervated muscle in vitro. 3. No statistically significant difference in the respiratory quotients of innervated and denervated muscle with and without glucose in the medium was found.
