Abstract
Summary
Methylglyoxal has been incubated with rat liver extracts in the presence of kidney antiglyoxalase. During incubation, methylglyoxal and inorganic P decrease, whereas total hydrolyzable P increases. The hydrolysis curve of the Ba insoluble fraction of liver incubated with methylglyoxal resembles that obtained from hexose phosphate. Paper chromatography also gave evidence for the formation of hexose phosphate from methylglyoxal.
