“Gabrio et al.1–3 have shown that addition of adenosine or inosine re-establishes the cell content of organic phosphate, increases the consumption of glucose , and thus the post-transfusion viability.”

“Lactate addition did not alter the sensitivity of [(3)H]-thymidine uptake to glucose, but inosine blocked the effect of added glucose and strongly inhibited DNA synthesis.”
“On the other hand, inosine in concentrations of 10(-4) to 10(-6) M stimulated the uptake of glucose and the production of lactate, but had no effect on the content of glycogen in the muscle.”

“The presence of glucose enhanced the magnitude of the TSH response, whereas both ribose and inosine completely abolished the stimulating effect of the hormone.”
