title: [The activity of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase in the liver of the developing chick embryo. The relation to the rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle].
abstract: Succinate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activities were determined in the liver of chick embryos and one and two day old chickens. The succinate dehydrogenase activity remained unchanged throughout development. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity decreased by the end of embryogenesis and increased after hatching. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity as an index of rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle is discussed.
