Aging of the erythrocyte. XIV. ATP content does decrease.
ATP content shows a cell-age dependent decrease in bovine erythrocytes separated according to Murphy. An important point in the evaluation of results lies in considering differences in the ATP consumption between cells of various age during separation. The decrease in ATP occurs in spite of diminished ATPase activity in older cells.
