The influence of various precursors on the concentration of energy-rich phosphates and pyridine nucleotides in cardiac tissue and its possible meaning for anoxic survival

Der Einfluß verschiedener Prekursoren auf die Konzentration von Pyridinnukleotiden und energiereichen Phosphaten im Herzmuskel und seine mögliche Bedeutung für das Überleben in Anoxie

  • Chapter
Experimental Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure

Summary

A special “anoxia test” was developed with isolated guinea pig atria to test influences on the anoxic energy balance. Adenine, ribose, nicotinic acid or nicotinamide added as precursors to nutrition solutions inhibit the loss of cardiac adenine and pyridine nucleotides during anoxia and improve the energy balance under aerobic and anaerobic conditions in the myocardium.
