Variable Before methotrexate After methotrexate
Lymphocytes
Vmax 20.7 (5.6) 16.2 (6.0)*
Km 40.7 (2.9) 38.3 (3.6)
Erythrocytes
Vmax 100.9 (31.7) 111.3 (42.3)
Km 43.9 (6.9) 42.6 (5.5)

Results are shown as mean (SD).

*p<0.05 for the effect of methotrexate. p>0.1 for other variables.

Vmax values expressed as nmol/min/mg protein; Km values expressed as μmol/l.
