Adenine Nucleotide Levels in a Closed Enzymatic Digestion System for Porcine Islet Isolation

Obtaining viable islets is a crucial step for successful islet transplantation. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a marker of cell viability. However, little is known about any changes in the energy status of the tissues that are being digested during the digestion phase. We herein examined whether th...
