Red blood cell hexokinase in tumor bearing mice.
Red blood cell hexokinase of tumor-bearing BALB/c mice was found to be 35% higher than in the normal controls, whereas glucose 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and other red blood cell glycolytic enzymes were in the normal range. This hexokinase increase cannot be explained by a mean younger red cell population because normal hematological data and normal red cell enzymes, known as red cell age-markers, have been found in tumor-bearing mice. The isozymic pattern of red cell hexokinase is not modified in the tumor-bearing mice.
