Abstract
A RAPID and accurate method of determining the rate of decarboxylation activity of tissues in different types is presented. This method is based on the evolution of 14CO2 from substrate on filter papers impregnated with potassium hydroxide. Filter papers having radioactive compounds has been measured directly by liquid scintillation counting1–3.
