Figure 5. Effects of 5-MTHF and vitamin B12 supplementation on malondialdehyde content and membrane proteins of red blood cells from CF patients.

Figure 5

(A) Malondialdehyde content of red blood cells at baseline and after supplementation (B) Red cell membrane proteins were separated by mono-dimensional electrophoresis and labelled with fluorescein-5-maleimide, which labels the proteins with active thiol-groups. Fluorescence was detected by placing the gel on a UV light source, photographed and analyzed. CF patients are indicated by numbers from 1 to 11; b: baseline; a: after supplementation with 5-MTHF and vitamin B12. The bands showing different fluorescence are indicated on the colloidal Commassie stained gel with numbers from 1 to 8.
