Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and red cell glutathione peroxidase.
نویسنده
چکیده
The activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), hexokinase, and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (EGOT) was measured in 78 blood samples. GSH Px activity was not found to correlate with hexokinase or EGOT activity, indicating that it was not a strongly age-dependent enzyme. Although modest elevations of GSH Px activity were observed in the red cells of patients with a variety of hematologic disorders, the most consistent and striking increases in activity were observed in G-6-PD-deficient subjects.

G LUCOSE-PHOSPHATE ISOMERASE (GPI) controls the equilibrium between glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F-6-P). Though G?I does not seem to have a rate-limiting function in red cell glycolysis,’ deficiencies of this enzyme cause hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia.2 Twelve cases from nine different families have been reported suffering from hemolytic anemia caused by G?...

متن کاملThe potential use of xylitol in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency anemia.
NADP-linked xylitol dehydrogenase has been found to be present in human red blood cells. This enzyme activity is normal in most glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient red cells. Xylitol was explored as a potential agent for treatment of hemolysis in patients with G6PD-deficiency. Intracellular GSH (glutathione, reduced) was first converted to its oxidized form by incubation of the e...

Glutathione reductase plays an important role in protecting hemoglobin, red cell enzymes, and biological cell membranes against oxidative damage by increasing the level of reduced glutathone (GSSGR) in the process of aerobic glycolysis. The enzyme deficiency may result in mild to moderately severe hemolytic anemia upon exposure to certain drugs or chemicals. However, hereditary deficiency of th...
