title: Adenine nucleotide compartmentation in foetal rat hepatocytes. Effects of atractyloside, oligomycin, calcium ionophore and adrenergic agonists.
abstract: In the presence of lactate plus pyruvate, or glucose or alanine as substrates, ATP/ADP ratios in the cytosol were higher than in mitochondria in isolated rat foetal hepatocytes. The cytosolic ATP/ADP ratios were dependent on substrate (lactate + pyruvate greater than glucose greater than alanine). Oleate increased the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratios in the presence of the other substrates studied. Atractyloside decreased the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratios, oligomycin decreasing these values in both compartments. Isoproterenol, phenylephrine and Ca2+ ionophore decreased the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio, without altering this value in mitochondria.
