Table 1.

Comparison of pyruvate dehydrogenase measurements within the same subject using peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from phosphate-buffered saline substituted blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from fresh blood.

Measurement Fresh blood (reference) PBS substituted blood p-value
Relative PDH activity 100 ± 0.0 126.6 ± 17.7 0.17
Relative PDH quantity 100 ± 0.0 105.7 ± 13.4 0.68
Relative PDH specific activity 100 ± 0.0 111.5 ± 12.7 0.39

Values are mean ± SE; n = 10/group.

PBS: Phosphate buffered saline; PDH: Pyruvate dehydrogenase
