Abstract

The combined levels of uridine diphosphogalactose (UDPGal) and uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPGlu) were measured directly by ^31^P NMR spectroscopy in intact fully oxygenated erythrocytes. Quantitative analysis was obtained using a sealed capillary of methylene diphosphonate (MDP) calibrated with standard solutions of UDPGlu and UDPGal of known concentration prepared in KRB/BSA. The combined peaks of UDPGlu and UDPGal were integrated after subtraction of the underlying broad component originating from membrane phospholipids. The average concentration of 27.16 Β± 5.18 nmole/ml or 8.08 Β± 1.36 ΞΌmole/100 g hemoglobin obtained for these metabolites correlated well with their total determined by HPLC of trichloracetic acid (TCA) extracts of the same samples.
