title: 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of glucose metabolism in human red blood cells.
abstract: Glucose metabolism of human red blood cells was investigated using carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy under both oxygenated and nonoxygenated conditions. These results show that under oxygenated conditions reversal of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde to glucose is in competition with its catabolism to lactate.
