The relationship between responsiveness and high-energy phosphate metabolism was observed in isolated dog coronary arterial strips before and after equilibration, under aerobic conditions. The strips responded slowly to potassium, norepinephrine, isoproterenol and 5-hydroxytryptamine before being equilibrated but did respond quickly to these drugs after being equilibrated for 1 hour under aerobic conditions. The contents of ATP, creatine phosphate (CP) and lactate were not significantly altered before and after equilibration for 1 hr. It is proposed that, before being equilibrated under aerobic conditions, coronary arteries may be unable to utilize ATP and CP due to injury of contractile or relaxant mechanisms resulting in a weak vascular responsiveness.
