Erythrocytic Enzymes of Various Animal Species

Abstract

ENZYMES involved in the reduction of triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN) have been reported to be of primary importance in the resistance of erythrocytes to drug-induced hæmolytic conditions1. A hereditary defect in man associated with erythrocytes sensitive to drugs (primaquine) has been described in which there is a deficiency of hexose monophosphate pathway enzymes in the erythrocytes. Evidence of a susceptibility to drug-induced hæmolysis of erythrocytes has also been reported in the dog2.
