Abstract
Oxygen uptake by the liver and kidney cortex homogenates of 6-, 30- and 96-week-old rats was studied manometrically using ascorbic acid as the substrate. The rate of uptake increased with growth reaching the peak at 30 weeks. There was a significant decline in old age. The higher rate of oxidation at 30 weeks shows a higher requirement of ascorbic acid for metabolism in both the tissues of the adult.
