Adenosine 5 -triphosphate turnover rate

All cells require energy to live and reproduce. They get the energy they need from nutrients that they convert into a chemically useful form. The most important repository of chemical energy is adenosine 5 -triphosphate (ATP). The importance of ATP to biological reactions is reflected in its turnover rate in humans each day, a person uses an amount of ATP equivalent to his or her body weight. 

Administration of glucose reduces the tucnover rate in postabsorptive state of phosphocreatine, adenosine triphosphate, and fructose-6-phosphate, but not that of glucose-6-phosphate. In fasting state, the administration of glucose does not affect the turnover rate of phosphocreatine and adenosine triphosphate.
