Abstract
Both oxygen and thiamine pyrophos-phate (cocarboxylase) increased the formation of citrate and alpha-ketoglutarate from pyruvate and oxaloacetate by homogenates of pigeon brain. It was concluded that in this tissue an oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to some C2 fragment preceded the condensation with oxaloacetate.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
