Summary

Values for hepatic ATP content and energy charge remained unchanged for 24 hours and showed only small declines between 24 and 48 hours of cold hypoxia. Lactate and glucose levels increased over the 48-hour period, demonstrating, respectively, progressive glycolysis and glycogenolysis. These observations are in contrast to those made in mammalian liver, where ATP levels fall precipitously during the first few hours of cold hypoxia and glycolysis is inhibited.
