  • Title: Adenine and pyridine nucleotides in the red blood cells of subjects with solid tumors.
    Author: Stocchi V, Canestrari F, Giacchi R, Sebastiani M, Lungarotti F, Dachà U, Dachà M.
    Journal: Tumori; 1987 Feb 28; 73(1):25-8. PubMed ID: 3824530.
    Abstract:
    The concentration of adenine (ATP, ADP, AMP) and pyridine (NADP+, NADPH, NAD+, NADH) nucleotides in the erythrocytes of subjects affected by solid tumors was evaluated using a method which allows their simultaneous extraction and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The results showed a lower level of ATP in the erythrocytes of subjects affected by solid tumors, whereas no significant modifications were observed in the other compounds. In fact, the mean value of ATP in these subjects was 27% lower than that of normal adults. This fact is discussed in relation to other enzymatic and metabolic modifications previously observed in red blood cells.
