NADP+ and NADPH in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient erythrocytes under oxidative stimulation

NADP+ and NADPH in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient erythrocytes under oxidative stimulation

C Mareni et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. .

Abstract

A mild oxidative stimulation of the hexose monophosphate pathway of human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49)-deficient erythrocytes (Mediterranean variant) causes a significant drop in NADPH. These results, other than to confirm that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a product deficiency disorder, demonstrate that under oxidative stimulation glutathione reductase may become functionally impaired and GSSG cannot be reduced at a sufficient rate.
