The adenosine triphosphate content and lactic acid production of guinea-pig skin after mild heat damage.
The depletion of adenosine triphosphate in skin after mild thermal injury is not large enough to be accounted for by loss of oxidative respiration. Measurement of lactic acid production by skin suggest that glycolysis is less sensitive to heat damage than is oxygen uptake. It is therefore likely that glycolysis makes a large contribution to the relatively high levels of ATP persisting in heat damaged skin.
