Erythrocyte PFK Activity, DPG Concentration, and Hb-O₂ Dissociation Curve Results in Two Wachtelhund Dogs and Healthy Controls

Erythrocyte parameter	Case 1	Healthy control to case 1	Case 2	Healthy control to case 2
PFK activity^* IU/g Hb (%)	0.78 (11)	6.8 (100)	0.78 (12)	6.5 (100)
PFK activity^† IU/g Hb (%)	—	—	1.35 (9)	15.0 (100)
DPG content mmol/mL RBC (%)	0.56 (8)	7.14 (102)	1.67 (24)	7.0 (100)
Hb-O₂ dissociation (P₅₀)^§ mm Hg	—	—	19.6	28

Wachtelhund dogs and healthy controls were studied simultaneously (% of healthy controls).

PFK activity measured at Uppsala University Hospital

PFK activity measured at University of Pennsylvania

P₅₀ refers to the oxygen tension at which 50% of the Hb is bound to oxygen.

DPG, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate; Hb, hemoglobin; Hb-O₂, hemoglobin-oxygen; RBC, red blood cell
