“In hemolysates nitrofurantoin also effectively increased proteolysis with a 2.4- and 4.0-fold increase in the rate of tyrosine release monitored at 100 and 800 microM, respectively, relative to controls.”
“ Nitrofurantoin produced greater than a 3- and an approximately 5-fold increase in the rate of tyrosine release from red cells at 100 and 800 microM, respectively, compared with untreated red cells.”
