Effect of NaAc on the synthesis of S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) by the young adult and aged rat heart. Sodium acetate (NaAc) was administered at 20 mM for 1 min prior to and during infusion of L-homocysteine thiolactone(L-HC). EHNA and ITC were present to block adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase, respectively, for 5 min prior to and throughout the NaAc infusion as described in the Fig. 1 legend. Values are means ± SE for 6-7 control hearts and 8-9 NaAc-treated hearts. * Means are significantly different from the appropriate young values (P<0.05).
