Comp Biochem Physiol B. 1992 Dec;103(4):859-62. doi: 10.1016/0305-0491(92)90205-6.

Abstract

1. Effects of ATP level on GSH regeneration were studied in the rabbit and guinea-pig erythrocytes. 2. There was a species difference in the efficacy of adenine, inosine and glucose as substrates for ATP recovery in the erythrocytes. 3. Erythrocytes GSH regeneration rate was found to be dependent on the cellular level of ATP in both the species.
