A possible adenine nucleotide storage form in normal and ischaemic rat heart.
Perfusion of Langendorff rat hearts with [14C]adenosine yields an acid-insoluble, radioactive product whose concentration falls during ischaemia. The properties of the substance show that it is a polyribonucleotide. It is suggested that it may be mitochondrial poly A acting as a storage form of adenine nucleotides.
