Abstract

SUMMARYThis study was conducted to compare the depletion of phosphocreatine (PC) and nucleotides (ATP and ADP) in strips of muscle which had been used for extensibility meesurements in the rigorometer with control strips of muscle which had been held unrestrained in the same environment. There were no significant differences in PC and ATP between the rigorometer and control strips. Rigorometer strips from “Stress‐susceptible” pigs had less rapid and less extensive depletion of ADP than did control strips from the same animals. It appeared that extensibility remained in the tissue after the A TP had been depleted, but not after AOP reached a low level.
