There have been remarkable developments in the field of the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates during the past twenty five years. These developments were due (1) the elucidation of the anaerobic glycolytic breakdown of carbohydrate having its origin in Embden's discovery of phosphoglyceric acid in 1933 and (2) the oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle discovered by Krebs and Johnson in 1937.The present concepts of the metabolism or carbohydrates centres round these two themes. However, the central role of these pathways is being challenged by the discovery and elucidation of alternative pathways of metabolism.
