“ Saponin (5 to 25 micrograms/ml) produced a concentration-dependent decrease in the cellular content of total ATP and [32P]ATP in 32P-labeled human platelets.”

“The addition of increasing concentrations of ATP to ciliated cells permeabilized by exposure to saponin caused a pattern of phase reduction indistinguishable from that observed in whole cells.”

“In the presence of saponin and antimycin A, a mitochondrial inhibitor, the Ca2+ concentration in the cell suspension decreased after the addition of ATP ; the addition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) elicited transient elevations in Ca2+.”
“… saponin … ATP concentration until maximum tension (0.3-1.7 mg) was reached at about 1 mM. The sensitivity of the model to ATP was heightened … containing an ATP-regenerating system, the maximum tension (0.3-0.6 mg) being reached at 0.2 to 0.3 mM ATP.”
