“In the presence of 0.5 mM oxoglutarate plus 10 mM glucose , the latter substrate was preferentially oxidized and contributed most to oxygen uptake.”
“With 10 mM oxoglutarate plus 10 mM glucose , the rate of glucose oxidation was greatly inhibited and oxoglutarate oxidation accounted for most of the oxygen consumption.”
“The addition of 2‐oxoglutarate increases the incorporation of L‐[U‐14C]alanine to glucose from 8‐ to 123‐fold, depending upon the ketoacid and alanine concentrations used.”
“Intravenous injection of alpha-ketoglutarate (12 mg/kg) and succinate (100 mg/kg) decreased significantly the consumption of glucose by the ischemic myocardium which rose after the ligation.”

“The addition of glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate , or compounds capable of being catabolized to glutamate, to a minimal glucose medium resulted in complete repression of aconitase in B. subtilis and B. licheniformis.”
