Abstract
1. 1. ATP levels of cardiac and hepatic tissues were determined in Perognathus californicus and Mus musculus in various metabolic and thermal states. 2. 2. Mus showed an increased cardiac ATP level in cold-exposed individuals, While there were no differences between ATP levels in control, cold-exposed and hypothermie Perognathus. 3. 3. Hepatic ATP levels were similar in both species in control and cold-exposed groups, while hypothermie Perognathus had significantly higher levels. 4. 4. The elevation of hepatic ATP during hypothermia has also been observed in long-term hibernators and may be of benefit during the arousal process in Perognathus.
