Correlation between Regional Atp and Blood Flow in Tumors and Surrounding Normal Tissue
1994
Various experimental and human tumors are characterized by a marked heterogeneity in the pathophysiologic micromilieu (1, 2). An inadequate and heterogeneous nutritional blood supply has been suggested to explain the non-uniform distribution of oxygen, pH, and high energy phosphates as it has been observed by many investigators (3, 4). Although there is a distinct understanding of the general interrelationships between these parameters (5), little is known about their actual regional correlation, which cannot be assessed by global measurements. With the autoradiographic method for measurement of blood flow (6, 7) and the metabolic imaging with ATP-induced bioluminescence (8, 9) it has becom…
Breakdown of high-energy phosphate compounds and lactate accumulation during short supramaximal exercise.
1987
Muscle ATP, creatine phosphate and lactate, and blood pH and lactate were measured in 7 male sprinters before and after running 40, 60, 80 and 100 m at maximal speed. The sprinters were divided into two groups, group 1 being sprinters who achieved a higher maximal speed (10.07 +/- 0.13 m X s-1) than group 2 (9.75 +/- 0.10 m X s-1), and who also maintained the speed for a longer time. The breakdown of high-energy phosphate stores was significantly greater for group 1 than for group 2 for all distances other than 100 m; the breakdown of creatine phosphate for group 1 was almost the same for 40 m as for 100 m. Muscle and blood lactate began to accumulate during the 40 m exercise. The accumulat…
