Methylglyoxal to d-lactate conversion rates of overt nephropathy progressors compared with nonprogressors
| Nephropathy status . | Conversion rate (μmol/g RBC protein/min) per μmol methylglyoxal . | Km (μmol/m) . | Vmax (μmol/g RBC protein/min) . |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progressors | 0.19 ± 0.08 | 976 ± 175 | 177 ± 48 |
| Nonprogressors | 0.17 ± 0.06 | 979 ± 594 | 169 ± 65 |
| P value | NS | NS | NS |
