The effects of demerol and amidone in vitro on the respiration and anaerobic glycolysis of brain tissue preparations have been studied by conventional manometric methods. Amidone is ten times as potent an inhibitor of glucose oxidation as demerol and stimulates oxygen uptake at low concentrations. The inhibitory action of these drugs is presumably due to an action on the dehydrogenases involved in glucose oxidation.
