Abstract
Respiration rates were determined for hen sciatic nerves using the standard Warburg manometric technique. Nerves were obtained from normal hens and from hens which had become paralyzed following the administration of an organic phosphorus insecticide. The autoxidation rates of nerves from poisoned hens were depressed by about one-third of the normal rate. The residual two-thirds activity probably represents the Schwann cell contribution. The addition of glucose, galactose, l-glutamate, and pyruvate stimulated the respiratory activity of both preparations.
