If citric acid is injected, only a small fraction appears unchanged in the urine [see Ostberg, 1931], for instance 13% in the experiment recorded in Table I. Thus only a small fraction of citric acid present in the body escapes oxidation and is passedinto the urine; it is therefore justifiable to assume that very much more citric ando-ketoglutaric acids are actually formed in the body after the injection than are found in our experiments. Malonic acid is known to be excreted unchanged; it is not metabolized. The work on isolated enzyme systems shows that the acid is anenzyme poison [Quastel & Wooldridge, 1929]. Malonate inhibits in the first place succinic dehydrogenase and we find accordingly a large output of succinic acid after
