## Abstract The addition of glucose to ELD and ELT/B1 mouse ascites tumor cell suspensions caused a 2.3โfold increase in the phosphorylation state ratio, (ATP)/(ADP)(Pi), because of a decrease in the intracellular Pi concentration. The addition of glucose to these cell suspensions has been reported

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of temperature on intracellular ATP levels in cells of the ascitic Hepatoma 129 has been determined using an UV-enzymic method. ATP levels are found to vary inversely with temperature over the range (4"-37"C) studied, and this variation is found to be reversible. An indication of a possible direct correlation of ADP level with temperature was also obtained.
A correlation is deduced between rise i n intracellular ATP level and decrease in cytoplasmic viscosity, both from the present results, and from similar effects recently reported by Landau ('61) for increase i n pressure.
The significance of these observations is discussed with reference to the model for cytoplasmic viscosity proposed by Marsland ('56) and the wider biological significance of this effect is explored.
