(b)( ) In mature erythrocytes (red blood cells) the end product of glycolysis is lactate because of the absence of mitochondria. On the right is a table comparing the rate of lac- tate production in hemolysates (lysed cells) of human RBCs as a function of pH with dif- ferent substrates introduced into the glyco- lytic pathway. The hemolysate was fortified with 30 μmoles substrate, 7.5 μmoles MgCl2, 10 μmoles disodium phosphate, 1.5 μmoles NAD* and 5 μmoles ATP in a volume of 5 TABLE 3-LACTATE PRODUCTION IN FORTIFIED HEMOLYSATES OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES* Substrate Glucose Glucose Glucose-6-phosphate Glucose-6-phosphate Fructose-1,6-diphosphate Fructose-1,6-diphosphate Lactate production† No. of experiments pH 6 7.1 2.03 ± 0.91 6 7.8 4.76 ± 1.09 5 7.1 10-731-88 5 7.8 12.34 ±2.92 5 7.0 7.15±0.73 5 7.7 7.15±0.80 mL.
