## Abstract The effects of 2‐deoxyglucose (DOG), an inhibitor of glycolysis, on guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) obtained from peritoneal exudates was examined. ATP levels in PMN were reduced by 40% by one hour following an incubation with 2‐deoxyglucose. When complement (C3) coated ^1
Exudate leucocytes lost approximately 30% of their original intracellular ascorbic acid content during two hour incubation in glucose medium. The same loss was observed for cells containing initially both high and low levels of ascorbic acid. High concentrations of ascorbic acid i n the incubation m
## Abstract Superoxide dismutase, an enzyme which catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radical formed during the univalent reduction of oxygen, was quantitated by observing the inhibition of cytochrome C reduction in three cell fractions in guinea pig peritoneal PMNs and monocytes and compared t
