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...
متن کاملCorrespondence: Measurement of erythrocyte transketolase activity
CorreSpondence Measurement of erythrocyte transketolase activity Correspondence from Donald E. King C. R. Milner et al.'s recent paper compared automated versus manual procedures for the 'Measurement of erythrocyte trans-ketolase activity on a discrete analyser' (Journal of Automatic Chemistry, Vol. 4, No. 4, pp. 183-185). In it the author uses regression analysis to evaluate the similarity of ...
متن کاملProperties and functions of the thiamin diphosphate dependent enzyme transketolase.
This review highlights recent research on the properties and functions of the enzyme transketolase, which requires thiamin diphosphate and a divalent metal ion for its activity. The transketolase-catalysed reaction is part of the pentose phosphate pathway, where transketolase appears to control the non-oxidative branch of this pathway, although the overall flux of labelled substrates remains co...
متن کاملThe effect of ambient temperature on the thiamin requirement of growing-finishing pigs.
I. Three experiments involving sixty-two growing-finishing pigs from 28 to 90 kg bodyweight were conducted to investigate the effect of environmental temperature on the thiamin requirement of growing-finishing pigs. Three temperatures (zoo, 30' and 35") were used. 2. Under these experimental conditions, average daily weight gain indicated no effect of environmental temperature on thiamin requir...
متن کاملErythrocyte 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 ...
