[Erythrocyte enzymes and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in juvenile diabetics]. 1982

F C Sitzmann, and G Dockter

The activity levels of phosphoglyceromutase, Glucose-6-P-dehydrogenase. 3-P-Glyceratkinase and Glutathionreductase of the erythrocytes as well as 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate were determined in a total of 263 children suffering from juvenile diabetes mellitus. They were divided into two groups: 103 diabetics with a good state of metabolic control and 103 diabetics with a bad control. The results of 57 diabetic children were rejected. The enzyme activities have been shown to vary. PGM activity was increased in all diabetics, G-6-PDH only in such with bad condition of metabolic control. The activity of 3-PGK was significantly diminished, Glutathionreductase activity was indifferent in both groups. Until today we don't found results of other authors determining these enzymes. The changes of some enzyme activities in diabetics may be due to hormonal mechanisms by insulin.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D003922	Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1	A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D019794	2,3-Diphosphoglycerate	A highly anionic organic phosphate which is present in human red blood cells at about the same molar ratio as hemoglobin. It binds to deoxyhemoglobin but not the oxygenated form, therefore diminishing the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin. This is essential in enabling hemoglobin to unload oxygen in tissue capillaries. It is also an intermediate in the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 5.4.2.1).
