Metabolic Cooperative Control of Electrolyte Levels by Adenosine Triphosphate in the Frog Muscle

J Gulati, M M Ochsenfeld, G N Ling
PMCID: PMC1484097  PMID: 5316285

Abstract

This study examines the effects of metabolic inhibitors on the content of cellular K, Na, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP and K are seen to fall in the inhibited tissues. The ATP content is correlated with the K content. The role of ATP is examined according to a recent biophysical approach. It is suggested that ATP may control the electrolyte levels by inducing conformational changes in the cytoplasmic proteins.
