Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETK-AC) and affinity for coenzyme (Km TPP) were assessed in 50 patients with transketolase abnormalities such as fibromyalgia or senile dementia of Alzheimer's type, before and after magnesium (Mg), thiamin+pyridoxine (B1,B6), high energy phosphates (HEP) (phosphocreatinine of adenosine triphosphate), and piracetam. Compared to 12 untreated patients, ETK-AC was significantly decreased with B1,B6 (P < 0.05, n = 10); Km-TPP was significantly decreased with HEP (P < 0.05, n = 20) and piracetam (P < 0.01, n = 5). In nine other patients treated with HEP + B1,B6 + magnesium, ETK-AC and Km TPP were both significantly decreased.
