In the present investigation we examined whether short-term incubations (24 or 48 h) with high concentrations of glucose (10-200 mmol L-1) inhibit ALA-D from human erythrocytes. Incubations of erythrocytes for 24 h with glucose (10 up to 40 mmol L-1) resulted in an increase of δ-ALA-D activity (P}, journal = {American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
