Summary

Enzyme activities of ATPases and acetylcholinesterase from isolated erythrocyte membranes (ghosts) were investigated before and after incubation with 50 mM glucose. Glucose incubation caused a time dependent loss of ATPase and acetylcholinesterase activities. Ghost enzyme activities in steptozotocin diabetic rats were found only insignificantly diminished.
