Plasma inhibitors of the erythrocyte hexose monophosphate shunt in uraemia. 1979

Sulphaemoglobin production, induced by an oxidative stress (ascorbate and cyanide) has been studied in uraemic patients. Results are expressed as the ratio of optic density of sulphaemoglobin (620nm) to optic density of total haemoglobin (540nm). The mean (+/- SEM) ratio found was 0.35 +/- 0.03 in 28 controls and 0.56 +/- 0,03 in 51 uraemic subjects (p less than 0.001). Cross incubation tests demonstrated that the anomaly was caused by a plasma factor. In vitro studies - guanidinic compounds added to control erythrocyte suspensions before incubation - suggest that this factor might be guanidinic propionic acid.

D006146 Guanidines A family of iminourea derivatives. The parent compound has been isolated from mushrooms, corn germ, rice hulls, mussels, earthworms, and turnip juice. Derivatives may have antiviral and antifungal properties.
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
