  • Title: The tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis in relation to ion transport by the ciliary body.
    Author: Riley MV.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1966 Mar; 98(3):898-902. PubMed ID: 5911534.
    Abstract:
    1. The respiration and aerobic glycolysis of pig ciliary processes in oxygenated phosphate and bicarbonate buffers have been investigated. 2. Significant amounts of lactic acid are produced only in the presence of added glucose, but this does not change the endogenous respiration rate. 3. Succinate and citrate increase the oxygen uptake considerably, but pyruvate has almost no effect; oxaloacetate and fumarate stimulate slightly in the presence of glucose. Aspartate and fumarate together stimulate pyruvate utilization and are oxidized as fast as citrate. 4. Ouabain inhibits the oxidation of glucose and other substrates by limiting the ADP supply from the sodium transport system. Cyanide and azide inhibit respiration and stimulate glycolysis. 5. The transport mechanism depends largely on ATP from oxidative phosphorylation and regulates the rate of respiration and glycolysis by controlling ADP production from the Na(+)-K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase.
