Abstract
In their first report, the authors investigated the influences of the single administration of cytochrome-C on the general development and various metabolism of chick embryo. In the present work, however, the authors investigated the actions of the combined administration of cytochrome-C on various metabolic anomalies in chick embryo induced by the pre-incubation administration of Pentobarbital-Na. The following is the results thus obtained.
No systematic differences in the metabolism of N or Vitamin B1 were observed between the groups of eggs treated with single Pentobarbital-Na and those with Pentobarbital-Na combined with cytochrome-C. The Pyruvic acid content in the allantoic fluid in the group treated with combined administration was lower in concentration and more scanty in quantity compared with the single administration during the whole period of incubation, excepting on the 9 th day of incubation.
