The levels of oxidized and reduced di- and triphosphopyridine nucleotide were measured in liver tissue from rats that had been exposed to cold (4 ± 1 C) for 1 month. These animals exhibited about 65% more reduced and total triphosphopyridine nucleotides than control animals maintained at an ambient temperature of 25 ± 1 C. The significance of these alterations to the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation is discussed.
