Abstract

IN an earlier paper1, I have reported that ditetrazolium chloride, a substance introduced by Seligman and Ruthenburg2 for the histochemical detection of succinoxidase in tissue sections, can also be used for the detection of the same enzyme in mitochondria isolated from kidney and liver. This has been recently confirmed by Schiebler3 on the granula isolated from the neurohypophysis by differential sedimentation.
