“Oxoglutarate was oxidized in a dose‐dependent manner by gastric glands, with an apparent Km for oxoglutarate of 3.9 +/‐ 0.5 mM. Oxoglutarate progressively inhibited the rate of glucose oxidation.”
“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.”
