- What was measured
- Glycogen, glycolytic intermediates and high-energy phosphates (ATP, phosphocreatine) in needle biopsy samples of the resting human quadriceps femoris, with the methods used and the variance of the values obtained.
What the authors reported
This is a methods paper. The authors describe the analytical procedures for measuring glycogen, glycolytic intermediates and high-energy phosphates in small needle biopsy samples of human quadriceps muscle at rest, and report the variance of the values. No abstract is indexed in OpenAlex or Crossref, so the resting concentrations and variance figures could not be checked from the source.
Limits of this study
This paper does not measure carnosine. It is included as the method base for the muscle-biopsy work that later carnosine and muscle-buffering studies (including Harris's own beta-alanine work) built on. No abstract was retrievable, so the n, the exact analytes and the variance figures are not stated here. The PMID could not be confirmed from a reachable source.
