We describe 6-month-old American girl with red cell pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency , failure to thrive , and marked hypertriglyceridemia (= 1500 mg/dL).
In kidney medulla of rabbits with alloxan diabetes the pyruvate kinase activity was increased by 39 % as compared with control animals.
The hepatic pyruvate kinase activity markedly decreased when rats were made diabetic by alloxan injection.
To evaluate the effects of glutamine (L-Gln) or whey-protein supplementation on CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytes in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
