Decreased production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate

  • 2, 3 DPG is produced by an alternative pathway in glycolysis.
  • If the glycolytic activity is decreased, the levels of 2,3 - DPG in RBCs will decrease.
  • Decreased level of 2,3 - DPG causes :-
  1. Shifts the oxygen - hemoglobin curve to the left
  2. Increases the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin.
