Erythrocytic organic phosphates: diel and seasonal cycles in the frog, Rana berlandieri
Abstract:
Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, hematocrit (Hct), total organic phosphates (Ptot), nucleoside triphosphates (NTP), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG), and "inositol polyphosphates" (IPP) were measured in the erythrocytes of adult frogs at different times of day in winter and summer after acclimatization to 15 degrees C and an LD 12:12 photoperiod. The same measurements were also made on animals acclimated to LD 16:8 in summer. All of the measured parameters varied significantly at different times of the day and between seasons in animals acclimated to an LD 12:12 photoperiod. Summer animals acclimated to LD 16:8 showed significant diel cycles only in Hct and Hb.
