The current state of sickle cell trait: implications for reproductive and genetic counseling.

abstract：:We studied the respiration and glucose utilization of suspensions of cultured lymphocytes. Respiration was measured by a couloximetric method using closed systems without a gas-suspension interface. The sensitivity of the method allowed measurements during a time interval of less than 1 hr. We found that the respirati...
