title: Nucleotide concentrations in cellular tissues during potassium and magnesium deficiency.
abstract: Potassium deficiency reduced the concentrations of ATP and GTP in rat thigh muscle but not in liver. The concentrations of UTP, CTP and the UDP-sugar derivatives with glucose, galactose and N-acetylglucosamine in liver were all increased. Magnesium deficiency, however, had little effect on the nucleotide concentrations in liver.
