title: Effect of adenosine on fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels and glucose metabolization by chicken erythrocytes.
abstract: Adenosine can be metabolized by chicken erythrocytes as a carbon source maintaining ATP levels. In addition, it stimulates glucose uptake and lactate production. Adenosine effects do not involve binding to membrane receptors. They are dependent on the provision of a carbon source to glycolysis and correlate with the increase of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels that activating phosphofructokinase would increase the glycolytic flux.
