this study tests the hypotheses that postischemic adenosine triphosphate levels are unreliable predictors of functional recovery , myocardial adenosine triphosphate concentration of less than 2 mumol/gm does not indicate irreversible damage , mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate generating capacity can be nearly normal despite low levels of tissue adenosine triphosphate and the failure to replenish adenosine triphosphate after ischemia is due to depletion of the adenosine nucleotide pool , which can be replenished partially by exogenous precursors ( e.g. , 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribotide [ aicar ] ) .
