Introduction: Glycolysis is a cellular process in which glucose molecules are broken down to form pyruvate. An antiglycolytic agent is defined as a substance that inhibits glycolysis by blood cells.

Answer to Problem 1SRQ
Correct answer: “Sodium fluoride prevents glycolysis”. Therefore, option d. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct answer:
Option d. is given as “Sodium fluoride”.
Sodium fluoride is an inorganic salt of fluoride and is the most common antiglycolytic agent that preserves glucose in the blood and prevents glycolysis. It can clot the blood by itself, but more commonly used with the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or anticoagulant potassium oxalate to provide plasma specimens.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as “EDTA”.
EDTA is not an antiglycolytic agent, it is an anticoagulant agent. Therefore, option a. in incorrect.
Option b. is given as “Heparin”.
Heparin is not an antiglycolytic agent, it is an anticoagulant agent. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as “Potassium oxalate”.
Potassium oxalate is not an antiglycolytic agent, it is an anticoagulant agent. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.
Sodium fluoride prevents glycolysis.
