Effect of sodium acetate (NaAc) administration on inosine release into the coronary effluents of isolated and perfused young adult and aged rat hearts. NaAc was infused into the perfusion at 20 mM to hearts receiving EHNA, iodotubercidin and L-homocysteine thiolactone. Values are mean ± SE for 3 hearts. * Mean is significantly different from the appropriate young value (P<0.05). † Mean is significantly different from the comparative NaAc-free value (P<0.05).
