Notes:
Under physiological conditions, erythrocytes of the horse metabolized 638 ± 37 (± SE) nmoles glucose/ml cells/hr at 37°C compared to 942 ± 31 for the cat, 1,329 ± 44 for the dog, and 1,485 ± 43 for man. On an absolute basis, pentose phosphate metabolism was similar between species, with species differences in erythrocyte glucose utilization attributable to differences in Embden-Meyerhof pathway metabolism. By examining pentose phosphate pathway recycling, it appears that some functional compartmentation exists within erythrocytes.
