Adenine nucleotides and 2,3-dophosphoglycerate in the erythrocytes during physical exercise and restitution in healthy subjects.
The reported investigations were carried out in 6 young (20 years old) healthy males who performed a 10-minute exercise on a Monark cycle ergometer at workloads increasing the heart rate to 170/minute. Before the exercise, after its termination, and after 30 minutes of restitution the concentrations of adenosine-5' triphosphate, adenosine-5' diphosphate, adenosine-5' monophosphate, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate were assayed in erythrocytes. After the end of exercise a non-significant increase in ATP concentration and a non-significant decrease of 2,3-DPG were found in the erythrocytes. The concentrations of ADP and AMP were lower than at rest, both, after the end of exercise and after 30 minutes of restitution (p less than 0.05). The concentrations of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate decreased after exercise (p less than 0.05) fell even more after 30 minutes of restitution (p less than 0.05).
