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.
