Effect of Pyridine Nucleotide Precursors on the Permeability of Toad Bladder in the Presence of Vasopressin, Adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic Monophosphate, and Theophylline*

Abstract

The increase and prolongation of water movement in the toad bladder in the presence of the pyridine nucleotide precursors adenine and nicotinamide (when stimulated with vasopressin, adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic phosphate, or theophylline) suggests that pyridine nucleotides may be actively involved in membrane permeability.
