Agar gel electrophoretic determination of glycosylated hemoglobin: effect of variant hemoglobins, hyperlipidemia, and temperature. 1981

H Aleyassine, and R J Gardiner, and L A Blankstein, and M E Dempsey

We investigated the effect of temperature, variant hemoglobins, and hyperlipidemia on determination of glycosylated hemoglobin by an electrophoretic method (Clin. Chem. 26: 1598-1602, 1980). We found that: (a) temperature variations ranging from 4 to 30 degrees C were without effect on results obtained by electrophoresis; (b) concurrent determination of glycosylated hemoglobin by electrophoresis and column-chromatography in blood specimens from 150 diabetic patients yielded almost identical mean values for both procedures when operations were carried out at 22 degrees C; (c) electrophoretic determination of glycosylated hemoglobin in whole-blood hemolysate was not affected by concentration of triglycerides; and (d) unlike column-chromatographic procedures, which underestimate the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin in patients with hemoglobin S and C, the electrophoretic method accurately determined the proportion of glycosylated hemoglobin in these hemoglobinopathies. Evidently, electrophoresis on agar gel is an excellent alternative to cation-exchange column-chromatographic methods for glycosylated hemoglobin.

D006441 Hemoglobin A Normal adult human hemoglobin. The globin moiety consists of two alpha and two beta chains.
D006444 Hemoglobin C A commonly occurring abnormal hemoglobin in which lysine replaces a glutamic acid residue at the sixth position of the beta chains. It results in reduced plasticity of erythrocytes.
D006451 Hemoglobin, Sickle An abnormal hemoglobin resulting from the substitution of valine for glutamic acid at position 6 of the beta chain of the globin moiety. The heterozygous state results in sickle cell trait, the homozygous in sickle cell anemia.
