Overview

Laboratory experiment reveals temperature-dependent ATP synthesis and degradation in Atlantic cod, indicating ongoing metabolic activity during subzero storage.

Key Points

To evaluate the stability, degradation, and synthesis dynamics of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its breakdown products in Atlantic cod across various subzero storage temperatures and preparation states.
Evaluated the impact of fresh, frozen, and thawed states on ATP loss during tissue homogenization.
Measured ATP retention and degradation rates in small tissue samples stored at 0 °C, −2 °C, −5 °C, −20 °C, and −40 °C for up to 12 weeks.
Assessed metabolic ATP synthesis in whole cod (Gadus morhua) held at −7 °C.
ATP in small cod samples remained fully stable at −40 °C for at least 12 weeks, whereas storage at −20 °C showed an initial rise in ATP content followed by a decline.
Degradation of ATP in small tissue cuts occurred faster at 0 °C than at −2 °C or −5 °C.
Whole cod actively synthesized ATP at a significant rate even when maintained at subzero conditions of −7 °C.
