Quantitative measurements of the effects of acetylcholine and histamine on the forearm and hand blood vessels have been made by Duff, Greenfield, Shepherd & Thompson (1953). This paper describes similar observations using adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and its vasodilator properties are compared with those of acetylcholine and histamine; this information was required for another investigation. The effects of adenosine triphosphate on the circulation are of interest as it has been suggested that this substance or its derivatives may play a part in the circulatory changes which follow exercise (Zipf, 1931 a; Rigler, 1932), circulatory arrest (Zipf, 1931 a) and traumatic shock (Bennet & Drury, 1931; Zipf, 1931 b; Green, 1943). The intra-arterial injection ofATP in man has been shown to cause an erythema and rise in temperature of the forearm skin (Stoner & Green, 1945), and an increase in finger volume (Davies, Gropper & Schroeder, 1951). Detailed measurements of the effects of ATP on the limb vessels in man, however, have not been found. The magnesium salt (MgATP) was used for the present investigation as there is some evidence that the ATP in striated muscle is present in this form (Bielschowsky & Green, 1944). The sodium salt was also used in some experiments and its effects are compared with those of the magnesium salt.
