Red blood cell glucose metabolism was studied in erythrocytes from a patient with trisomy 10 p which resulted in + 50% hexokinase specific activity, in normal controls and in cases of heterozygous hexokinase deficiency. The results obtained show that the hexokinase activity level is an important factor in the control of the erythrocyte's glycolytic rate while having no appreciable effect on the hexose monophosphate pathway under resting conditions. No clear conclusion could be drawn when an oxidative stress was present.
