PPP Flashcards
1
Q
Oxidative vs Non-oxidative pathway
A
Oxidative produces NADPH, non-oxidative produces glycolytic intermediates without producing ribose
2
Q
G6PDH Deficiency
A
decreased NADPH, leads to decreased reduced glutathione (GSH), decreased lipid oxidation, decreased RBC membrane integrity
Symptoms: neonatal jaundice, acute hemolytic anemia triggered by certain drugs
3

A
Glyceraldehyde-3P and Sedoheptulose-7P
4
Q
Glceraldehyde-3P and Sedoheptulose-7P combine to create
A
Fructose 6P and Erythrose 4P
5
Q

A
F6P and glyceraldehdye-3P
