Adenosine triphosphate in milk

I M Zulak, S Patton, R H Hammerstedt

    Journal of Dairy Science
    |August 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Goat's milk contains significant adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Freshly secreted milk has more ATP than milk stored in the udder, and ATP can be synthesized after milking.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Dairy Science
    • Animal Science

    Background:

    • Goat's milk possesses active metabolic pathways, including those for lipid synthesis.
    • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a crucial energy substrate for metabolic processes.
    • Understanding ATP levels in milk is vital for assessing its metabolic activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in freshly secreted and stored goat's milk.
    • To investigate the post-milking synthesis of ATP in goat's milk.
    • To compare ATP concentrations in goat's milk with human and bovine milk.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected goat's milk at different stages (freshly secreted, stored in udder overnight).
    • Measured ATP concentrations using established biochemical assays.
    • Incubated milk samples with and without inhibitors of phosphorylation (2,4-dinitrophenol, sodium arsenate) to assess synthesis capacity.

    Main Results:

    • Freshly secreted goat's milk exhibited higher ATP concentrations (37.6 muM) compared to milk stored overnight in the udder (12.4 muM).
    • Skim milk followed a similar pattern, with higher ATP in fresh samples (26.0 muM) versus overnight stored samples (14.2 muM).
    • ATP levels decreased over a 4-hour incubation period, with a significantly faster decline in the presence of phosphorylation inhibitors.

    Conclusions:

    • Freshly secreted goat's milk is rich in adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
    • Goat's milk retains the capacity for ATP synthesis even after milking.
    • Goat's milk contains substantially higher ATP concentrations than human and bovine milk.
