THE PENTOSE PHOSPHATE METABOLIC PATHWAY IN THE HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE: III. THE STABILITY OF THE PENTOSE PHOSPHATE METABOLIC SYSTEM IN PRESERVED ERYTHROCYTES

Y. S. Brownstone, Orville F. Denstedt

Abstract

The activity of the enzymes of the pentose phosphate metabolic pathway in the dialyzed stroma-free hemolyzate (SFH) from human red cells remains unaltered after prolonged storage of the blood in acidified citrate dextrose (ACD) medium at 4 °C.Erythrocytes from children with galactosemia were found to have normal transketolase and transaldolase activity.
