Abstract

The concentrations of adenine nucleotides in the liver and skeletal muscle increased during the maturation period (during the first 100 days of life) and remained fairly constant in adult rats. The concentration of adenine nucleotides in erythrocytes decreased with age.

The concentrations of hexose monophosphates increased with age in liver and muscle tissue and decreased with age in erythrocytes.

The observed changes of metabolites in the different tissues with increasing age of rats could not be explained by a changed water content.
