In human erythrocytes activities of glucose-6-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenases were decreased approximately 2-fold in moderately severe and critical forms of diabetes mellitus, as compared with normal state. The lactate dehydrogenase activity was more distinctly decreased than the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. General medical treatment increased the activity of the enzymes (which catalyzed the ATP formation in erythrocytes) and normalized their relation.
