Figure 1

Lineweaver-Burk plot of erythrocyte membrane Na+K+-ATPase in control and type 1 diabetic patients. Na+K+-ATPase activity of the ghost erythrocyte membrane at 37°C is plotted as a function of inorganic phosphate released per mg protein per hour. The intercept on the ordinate is equal to 1/Vmax, and the intercept on the abscissa is equal to -1/Km. the method of least squares of means was used to fit data to the Lineweaver-Burk plot. The inset indicates percentage reduction in Vmax and Km values of poor glycemic control (A1) and all diabetic patients compared with type 1 diabetic patients with good glycemic control (A2)
