Methylene blue-mediated hexose monophosphate shunt stimulation in human red blood cells in vitro: independence from intracellular oxidative injury.
The red blood cell hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS) and proteolytic responses to several concentrations of Methylene Blue or sodium nitrite were measured. The results suggested two distinct mechanisms for activation of the HMS: (1) nitrite treatment increased HMS activity in response to oxidative ch...
