Red blood cell pyruvate kinase (R-PK) deficiency is the most common glycolytic enzyme defect associated with hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia.
Two patients with non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia were found to have elevated red blood cell pyruvate kinase activities commensurate with the decreased mean red cell age , but the residual pyruvate kinase had marked kinetic abnormalities.
M-isozyme pyruvate kinase activity proved to be elevated in the liver of rats with hepatoma induced by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene.
To evaluate the in vivo effect of glutamine on cobalt-generated oxidative stress and (HO-1) induction in rat liver.
