2H2O effects on ATP pool in frog stimulated nerve.
On stimulation a decrease of ATP pool was observed in the nerve immersed in 2H2O as compared to that of the nerve in H2O. Among the phenomena possible to account for this decrease, we are tempted to attach weight to the transfer rate of protons which finds expression in an increased raising time of the action potential, a stage in which the energy system is stressed.
