  • Title: The effects of short term cold storage upon ATP and 2,3-BPG levels in the blood of euthermic and hibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels Spermophilus tridecemlineatus.
    Author: Doherty JC, Kronon MT, Rotermund AJ.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol Comp Physiol; 1993 Jan; 104(1):87-91. PubMed ID: 8094662.
    Abstract:
    1. Whole blood was collected from hibernating and euthermic ground squirrels. 2. Blood from hibernating animals had approximately 50% less ATP and 2,3-biphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) than did that from euthermic animals. 3. In euthermic blood subjected to in vitro cold storage, levels of ATP decreased to those observed in hibernators, but 2,3-BPG did not decline significantly. 4. During cold storage of hibernator blood, no significant changes occurred in levels of these organophosphates.
