EFFECTS OF COLD ACCLIMATIZATION ON LIVER DI- AND TRIPHOSPHOPYRIDINE NUCLEOTIDE

Abstract

The levels of oxidized and reduced di- and tri phosphopyridine nucleotide were measured in liver tissue from rats that had been exposed to cold (4 = 1 C) for one month. These animals exhibited about 65% more TPNH and total triphos phopyridine nucleotide than control animals maintained at an ambient temperature of 25 = 1 C. The significance of these alterations to the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation is discussed.
