Flood tolerance of woody plants has been attributed to internal oxygen diffusion from shoot to root, metabolic adaptation within the root, or both. The purpose of this study was to compare several biochemical and physiological responses of birch roots to hypoxia in order to determine the nature of
Intraerythrocytic levels of guanosine and adenosine phosphates were estimated in normoxic and hypoxic rainbow trout after intra-arterial injection with either saline or carbonic anhydrase. A significant reduction of the total pool of adenosine and guanosine was observed in hypoxic animals.
Mammalian neocortical tissues were incubated in [14C]adenine-containing fluids and their newly-synthesized adenine derivatives examined after periods of superfusion. Increased [K+] released adenine derivatives from the tissues, a release diminished by homocysteine. Homocysteine acted also to
Adult male rats were exposed to 3.8-km altitude for intervals ranging from 1 h-60 d. Liver samples were taken under light ether anesthesia and were examined by enzymatic analyses. Within 1-6 h of hypoxic exposure, ATP levels decreased while ADP and AMP levels increased, producing a fall in

Adenine nucleotides were measured in normal and A2-cell rich pancreatic islets of guinea pigs in order to evaluate the bioenergetic properties of the islet cells. The islets were either freshly isolated or cultured for one week. Immediately after isolation the ATP concentration of the normal islets
