Adenine consumption in stored citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine blood.
Plasma adenine concentration was measured in five units of citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine (0.25 mmol/l adenine) whole blood during storage at +4 degrees C. The adenine levels decreased to 50% in 9-10 days and to approximately 15% in 3 weeks. In spite of this rapid consumption of adenine, the adenosine triphosphate levels were well maintained: almost 100% after 3 weeks and 60% after 6 weeks of storage.
