Misunderstanding of ATP Involvement in Stages of Inflammation

Abstract

Inflammation is the description of the metabolic imbalance in any tissue describing the different three stages till it ends in the development of scarring. Inflammation starts with a changed relationship of ATP/ADP. Here, the different stages of inflammation and the ATP levels are investigated. But this view means to accept that ATP is not a danger signal as commonly reported,1,2,3,4but instead ATP is necessary in signaling homeostasis in the capillary system and tissues. Even if some of the references are seemingly old, they are still valid and newer publications promote the former misinterpretations.
