The maximal activities of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase were measured in human adipose tissue. Though the mean activity of hexokinase was similar between a group of adult diabetics (n=24) and a group of non-diabetic controls (n=25), in the diabetic group the activity of phosphofructokinase was definitely reduced. Possibly this enzyme deficiency might contribute to impaired glucose utilization by the adipose cell in diabetes.
测定了人脂肪组织中己糖激酶和磷酸果糖激酶的最大活性。虽然一组成年糖尿病患者(n = 24)和一组非糖尿病对照组(n = 25)之间己糖激酶的平均活性相似,但糖尿病组中磷酸果糖激酶的活性明显降低。这种酶缺乏可能导致糖尿病患者脂肪细胞对葡萄糖的利用受损。
