Positive correlation between galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) and UDP-galactose-4'-epimerase (GALE) activities
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine whether the activities of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase and UDP-galactose-4'-epimerase are correlated, and in what way they may influence one another.
Design and methods: Enzyme activities were measured in red blood cells from 214 individuals.
Results: A statistically significant (p<0.001) positive correlation was observed between GALT and GALE activities.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that GALT and GALE activities are correlated and that GALE activity has a greater impact on GALT activity than vice versa.
