  ABSTRACT: We measured the erythrocyte levels of principal nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP, GTP, GDP, GMP, IMP), nucleosides (Ado, Guo, Ino) and Hyp with HPLC. Purine concentrations were determined in the erythrocytes of 36 type 1 and 40 type 2 diabetic patients. The increased dephosphorylation of adenine and guanine nucleotides, indicated by increased Ado, Ino, Guo and Hyp concentrations as the products of purine nucleotide degradation, suggests serious energy metabolism disruptions in diabetes. An increase in AMP, GMP, IMP concentrations, as well as a decrease in AEC and GEC values, points to significant alterations in erythrocyte purine nucleotide concentration.
