title: Introductory studies on metabolism of free glucose in aqueous extracts from smooth muscles of the stomach of geese and ducks.
abstract: Aqueous extracts from smooth muscles of the stomachs of geese and ducks contain enzyme systems which not only oxidize free D-glucose, but also determine its further metabolism. The successive metabolites are probably 1,5-D-gluconolactone and 2-ketogluconic acid, and the final product is either pyruvic acid of alpha-ketoglutaric acid. Better understanding of this metabolism will require further studies.
