title: Red cell 2,3-DPG levels in diabetic vasculopathy.
abstract: RBC 2,3-DPG resulted statistically increased versus normal subjects in 22 insulin-dependent diabetics affected by arterial vasculopathy and in 19 vasculopathic non-diabetic patients. RBC 2,3-DPG, on the other hand, did not differ from the normal mean in 16 insulin-dependent diabetics without vascular involvement. The increase of RBC 2,3-DPG represents principally a consequence of the vasculopathy.
