Erythrocyte transketolase activity in patients with diabetic and alcoholic neuropathies.

INTRODUCTION The activity of erythrocyte transketolase induced by thiamine pyrophosphate and normalized to age of the patient is a marker of thiamine metabolism disturbances with pathological consequences in the central and peripheral nervous system. The measurement of erythrocyte transketolase activity enables evaluation of the thiamine status and therapeutic decisions in the disorders of the ...

Thiamin intake, erythrocyte transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) activity and total erythrocyte thiamin in adolescents.

The relationships between thiamin intake, erythrocyte transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) activity coefficient (ETK-AC) and total erythrocyte thiamin were investigated in a group of adolescents (13 to 14 years old; nineteen boys, thirty-five girls). Thiamin intakes were calculated from 7 d weighed records, using food composition tables, and compared with those obtained by direct analysis of duplicate di...
