title: Cellular Ca2+ ATPase activity in diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Basal and maximal Ca2+ ATPase activity was studied in erythrocytes of 29 healthy controls, 15 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 22 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Basal and maximal Ca2+ ATPase activity was significantly decreased in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (8.4 +/- 0.5 and 22.5 +/- 1.1 pmol/10(6) RBC/min) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (7.3 +/- 1.0 and 18.6 +/- 1.8 pmol/10(6) RBC/min) compared to healthy controls (9.3 +/- 1.0 and 24.6 +/- 1.1 pmol/10(6) RBC/min). Maximal Ca2+ ATPase activity showed a significant correlation to systolic blood pressure in both insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. There was no significant correlation of maximal Ca2+ ATPase activity to fasting serum glucose concentration and to HbA1 levels. Maximal Ca2+ ATPase activity was significantly correlated to creatinine clearance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, but not in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It is concluded that a decreased cellular Ca2+ ATPase activity may predispose to the development of hypertension in diabetes mellitus.
