Alkaline extraction and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of adenine and pyridine nucleotides in human platelets.
The levels of adenine (ATP, ADP, AMP) and pyridine (NAD, NADH) nucleotides in human platelets have been measured by a simple and reproducible method. A rapid alkaline extraction allows a complete recovery of the compounds concerned. The metabolic ATP and ADP in the cytosolic fraction, the amount released upon thrombin stimulation, and the ADP bound to F-actin have also been evaluated. Analysis was performed by reverse-phase, isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography on a 5-microns Lichrosorb RP-18 column with uv detection at 254 nm.
