Purine accumulation in human fat cell suspensions. Evidence that human adipocytes release inosine and hypoxanthine rather than adenosine

Human adipocytes are of limited viability (7 +/- 2% release of lactate dehydrogenase/h) and contain active ectophosphatases which are capable of sequentially degrading ATP to adenosine. At densities of 30,000-40,000 cells/ml, human fat cell suspensions accumulated adenosine, inosine, and hypoxanthin...
