Carbohydrate Metabolism in Leukocytes
In normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes the occurrence of a high rate of aerobic glycolysis with a concomitant large formation of lactic acid has been demonstrated (1, 2) and the enzymes and intermediates of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway have been isolated and identified (3-5). There are indications for the presence and activity of the Krebs cycle, but the contribution of this cycle to metabolism ...
متن کاملThe carbohydrate metabolism of leukocytes: a review.
INTRODUCTION Because leukocytes arise from tissues of un usual growth potential and because of their predi lection for leukemic involvement, it has been as sumed that they might have metabolic traits in common with embryonic or tumor tissue. This question has attracted students for half a century. The wide diversity in motivation for these studies, ranging from the purely biochemical to the pur...
متن کاملImpaired Carbohydrate Metabolism of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
This study measures hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt activity, glycolytic rate, and glucose transport in PMN and lymphocytes of patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type lb as compared with controls and with GSD Ia patients. HMP shunt activity and glycolysis were significantly lower in intact PMN cells of GSD Tb patients as compared with GSD Ia patients and with controls. These activiti...
متن کاملThe effect of maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood in rats
Introduction: Many of the diseases of adulthood are originated from the intrauterine conditions during fetal life. Because of the importance of thyroid hormones in growth and development of the fetus, the effects of maternal hypothyroidism on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood was investigated. Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into the fetal hypothyroidism (FH) and the control (C) group...
متن کاملCarbohydrate metabolism in leukocytes. VII. Metabolism of glucose, acetate, and propionate by human plasma cells.
Plasma cells obtained from the peripheral blood of a patient with multiple myeloma was incubated in serum and Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer with (14)C-labeled glucose, acetate, and propionate. Glucose utilization by these cells amounted to 0.5 mumole per hr per 10(8) cells and was mainly via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, and only 6% or less traversed the hexose monophosphate shunt. The presenc...
