Abstract
Changes in the level of the adenylates (ATP, ADP, AMP), arginine phosphate, arginine, octopine, D-lactate, succinate, and aspartate were determined in the foot of Cardium edule, after 12 h of anoxia and after aerobic recovery for up to 12 h. Control levels of the adenylates, the calculated energy charge and the arginine phosphate content were restored after about 1 h of recovery. On the other hand, the recovery of the D-lactate, succinate, and aspartate pools was a slow process, taking place over about 12h.
