In this study we compared the kinetics of phosphocreatine (PCr) and P(i) recovery, and their dependency on cytosolic pH in 38 normal individuals. Spectra were acquired during rest, work and recovery. A time resolution of 10 s was used to obtain detailed information. The kinetics of PCr and P(i) recovery almost overlapped when the lowest value of cytosolic pH reached during recovery (termed the minimum pH) was < 6.95, while they were completely dissociated when the minimum pH was > 6.95. This result is interpreted as indirect in vivo evidence of the kinetic control exerted by ADP on mitochondrial oxidation. Our results represent a rationale for new experimental conditions to be used in clinical routine studies of pathologies due to primary or secondary mitochondrial malfunction.
