The purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro metabolic changes in mouse peritoneal macrophages exposed to sera of CHD patients and healthy donors. Oxidative (metabolic) burst was estimated by the activity of one of the limiting enzymes of hexose monophosphate shunt--glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Pronounced enhancement of glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity accompanied the exposure of macrophages to sera of patients with acute myocardial ischemia during the first two days after the onset of anginal pains. The correlation was established between the activity of creatine kinase in the sera of patients with acute myocardial infarction and the ability of these sera to enhance glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
