Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The 31P NMR visibility of ATP of the perfused rat liver was tested over a wide range of metabolic conditions, including normoxic and hypoxic perfusions, fructose loads, and various intervals of normothermic ischemia, for both ad libitum fed and 24-h fasted rats. The 31P NMR signal of ATP was compared to the concentration of ATP determined by enzymatic assays on liver biopsies performed at the end of NMR acquisition. In a first series of experiments, the NMR resonance of intracellular ATP was quantitated in absolute terms by applying the 1H NMR water signal as internal reference: during normoxic and hypoxic perfusions, a constant amount of ATP (0.43 +/- 0.19 mM, mean +/- SD), approximately 12% of the cellular ATP, is not detected by NMR. Nevertheless, there is a high correlation (slope = 0.96 +/- 0.09; r2 = 0.93) between the measurements of ATP by 31P NMR spectroscopy and by biochemical analysis. In a second series of experiments, there was a highly significant correlation between the NMR and analytical biochemical measurements of ATP for whole range of metabolic states, i.e., fructose loads (1.0-10 mM) and various intervals of normothermic ischemia (ranging from 2 to 12 min), indicating unchanged ATP visibility. Thus, as opposed to the studies of Murphy et al. [Murphy, E., et al. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 526-528], it is concluded that ATP at 37 degrees C remains almost entirely visible in the perfused rat liver, also during ischemia.
