Evidence for the oxidation of glycolytic NADH by the malate-aspartate shuttle in ehrlich ascites tumor cells

TL;DR: It may be established that in Ehrlich ascites cells reducing equivalents generated in the cytosol during aerobic glycolysis strongly influence the NAD redox state when their intramitochondrial translocation is prevented by the inactivation of the malate-aspartate shuttle.
