Abstract
1. 1. The hemolyzed nucleated erythrocytes of the pigeon show considerable O 2 consumption, which is considerably increased by MgCl 2 M/250, glucose and constituents of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and completely inhibited by NaCN M/250. 2. 2. This oxidative metabolism is coupled with a strong aerobic glycosis. 3. 3. All multivalent cations and anions inhibit the O 2 consumption as well as the aerobic glycolysis. 4. 4. CaCl 2, orthophosphate and ribonucleate inhibit strongly at physiological concentrations. 5. 5. Different oxidative reactions in the hemolysate are inhibited by ions to a different degree. 6. 6. These inhibitory effects of ions may be due to disturbances of the local electric fields of proteins which are constituents either of membrane or stroma of subcellular structural units which are carriers of enzymes of the oxidative system of the cell.
