title: [Possible apical respiration in the olfactory epithelium of the frog Rana temporaria].
abstract: Bioluminescent analysis has been made of the effect of oxygen supply on the content of ATP in the isolated olfactory epithelium of the frog. It was shown that storage of epithelium preparations in the air increases their ATP content. When preparations are kept in the atmosphere of an inert gas, ATP level in the epithelium rapidly decreases, being recovered after transition of preparations to the air medium. The data obtained indicate the existence of apical type of respiration in the olfactory epithelium of the frog.
