Abstract

Erythrocyte glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is subject to seasonal variations in healthy persons. A steep rise in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was observed in the winter 1969–1970 which was excessively cold and long, but no correlation to outdoor temperature was found. On the other hand, erythrocyte glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase indicated a weak indirect correlation with urinary dehydroepiandrosterone. In connection with these results, the effect of hormonal changes and cold adaptation on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase are discussed.
