✦ Synopsis

In contrast with the extensive studies of the metabolism of spermatozoa of mammals and invertebrates, similar studies on spermatozoa of lower vertebrates appear to be rare or lacking (see Bishop, '61, '62). The present investigation of fish spermatozoa was undertaken as part of a comparative study of the metabolism of the germ cells of various phyla and species. By means of a sensitive technique employing Cl4-1abeled substrates, previously used in a study of the oxidative metabolism of bovine and human spermatozoa (Terner, '59, '60), quantitative measurements of rates of oxidation of external substrates were possible despite the relatively high endogenous respiration of fish spermatozoa.

We report studies of the effect of ischemia on the metabolic activity of the intact perfused lung and its restoration after a period of reperfusion. Two groups of rat lungs were studied using hyperpolarized 1‐^13^C pyruvate to compare the rate of lactate labeling differing only in the temporal order
