ATP metabolism in pyruvate kinase deficient erythrocytes.
With the technical assistance of Wilma J. Hudson T HE NIATURE HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE, without a nucleus, mitochondria, or endoplasmic reticulum, has limited metabolic capabilities. It depends upon anerobic glycolysis for biochemical energy . This leaves the erythrocyte little ability to compensate for metabolic defects. Pyruvate kinase ( PK ) deficiency is one of an increasing list of red cell enzym...
متن کاملDecrease in subunit aggregation of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase: a mechanism for decreased nucleotide concentrations in pyruvate kinase-deficient human erythrocytes.
Pyruvate kinase (PK)-deficient RBCs have several unexplained metabolic abnormalities, such as decreased concentrations of total adenine nucleotides (AMP, ADP, and ATP) and total (oxidized and reduced) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Because 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) is an intermediate in the synthesis of adenine nucleotides and NAD, we investigated PRPP synthetase (PRPPS)...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Quercetin on Oxidative Stress in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Erythrocytes in Vitro
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient subjects are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Quercetin, a flavonoids, has been employed as a potent oxygen-free radical scavenger in order to assess the protective effects of quercetin against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in G6PD-deficient and normal human erythrocytes. Erythrocytes of G6PD-deficient (n = 10) and normal (n = 10) subjects were ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency among the Newborns (Shiraz-Iran)
Background: The frequency of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in Shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of PK in newborns, from Shiraz and surrounding areas. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملApplication of Riboflavin-Deficient Rat Erythrocytes in the in Vitro Assay of Faba Bean Toxicity
Background: Faba bean toxicity (favism) is a common condition observed in our region. Objective: To develop a short and simple technique involving the use of riboflavin-deficient rats to test in vivo faba bean toxicity. Methods/Results: Sprague Dawley rats were maintained on a riboflavin-deficient diet and their vitamin B2 status was monitored by the assay of erythrocyte glutathione reductase (...
