The Relationship between the Rates of Conversion of Palmitate into Citrate or Acetoacetate and the Acetyl-Coenzyme A Content of Rat-Liver Mitochondria

Abstract

Catecholamines are secreted and can be recovered in the perfusate when isolated bovine adrenal glands are perfused with oxygenated Tyrode solution at 370 and stimulated by the injection of car- bamoylcholine (Banks, 1965). For the experiments described below the perfusion rate was 20-25ml./ min. and during the stimulation periods 0-5ml. volumes of lOmM-carbamoylcholine were injected at 30sec. intervals for 3min.
