Term
what is another name for the hexose monophosphate pathway
Definition
pentose phosphate pathway
Term
what is the purpose of the HMP
Definition
generate NADPH and or 5 carbon ribose
Term
what is the five carbon ribose made by HMP used for
Definition
making nucleotides
Term
if NADPH only is needed list the intermediates in order leading to NADPH production
Definition
glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphoglyconate to ribose 5-P, intermediate sugar, fructose-6-P or glyceraldehyde-3-P, glycolysis
Term
if NADPH and ribose is needed list the intermediates in order to get both
Definition
glucose-6-P, 6-phosphogluconate, ribose-5-P, nucleotides
Term
if nucleotide is needed only list the intermediates in order to get to it
Definition
fructose-6-P or glyceraldehyde-3-P, intermediate sugar, ribose-5-P, nucleotide
Term
what is the rate limiting enzyme of HMP
Definition
glucose-6-P DH
Term
what type of reaction does glucose-6-P dehydrogenase do
Definition
oxidative
Term
what activates glucose-6-P dehydrogenase
Definition
insulin increases transcription
Term
what inhibits glucose-6-P dehydrogenase
Definition
NADPH
Term
what is the rate limitng step in Hmp
Definition
glucose-6-P to 6-phosphogluconate
Term
what step in HMP makes NADPH
Definition
glucose-6-P to 6-phosphogluconate and 6-phosphogluconate to ribose-5-P
Term
in what step of HMP is CO2 released
Definition
6-phosphogluconate to ribose-5-P
Term
what enzyme turns ribose to intermediate sugars and glycolysis intermediates and vice versa
Definition
transketolase (TPP)
Term
what does TPP require to work
Definition
thiamine
Term
where is a characteristic spot TPP is located
Definition
RBC
Term
how can a thiamine deficiency be measured
Definition
measure transketolase activity in the RBC: if added thiamine pyrophosphate increases activity there is a thiamine deficiency
Term
what is NADPH used for
Definition
energy for reduction biosynthesis, neutralize reative O species, chtochrome P450 monooxygenase system, generation of O radicals, nitric oxide synthesis
Term
what reduction biosynthesis pathways is NADPH used in
Definition
FA, choesterol, steroids
Term
what system uses NADPH to neutralize reactive O species
Definition
glutathione
Term
what is the overall purpose of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system
Definition
adds O to molecues
Term
why would NADPH make free O radicals
Definition
because macrophages and neutrophils use it to destory the things they phagocytosed
Term
explain the glutathionine system
Definition
NADPH reduces glutathionine allowing it to turn peroxide into water getting rid of O radicals
Term
what are the two ways the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system works
Definition
mitochondrial, microsomal
Term
what is the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system used for
Definition
steroid synthesis
Term
what does the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system do
Definition
adds O to steroif nucleus to make them more soluble
Term
what does the microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system used for
Definition
detoxify chemicals, drug metabolism
Term
what does the microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system do
Definition
adds o to activate, make more soluble, or provide a reactive group to chemicals
Term
what enzyme uses NADPH to make free radicals
Definition
NADPH oxidase
Term
what disease involves a deficiency in NADPH oxidase
Definition
chronic granulomatous disease
Term
what are the symptoms of chronic granulomatous disease
Definition
suspectible to bacterial infection and more severe infections, granuloma formation
Term
what causes a granuloma
Definition
nodes where macrophages accumulate and the body builds walls around them because they are not digesting the bacteria because they have no free radicals because NADPH oxidase is broken
Term
what do you need to make nitroic oxide
Definition
argining, oxygen, NADPH, nitroic oxide synthase
Term
how long does NO live
Definition
short half life
Term
how does NO get into cells easily
Definition
it is a very reactive gas
Term
what does NO do
Definition
relax smooth muscle, used by macrophages to make free radicals, inhibits platlet aggregation, neurotransmitter for the brain
Term
what is a drug that induces the help of NO to relax smooth muscle
Definition
nitroglycerin
Term
what chromosome is glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase located on
Definition
X
Term
what demographic is more likley to have a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Definition
males who are african, mediterranian, asian
Term
what benifit does having a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency provide
Definition
malaria protection
Term
what are the symptoms of a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Definition
epiodic hemolytic anemia
Term
what is usually wrong with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in a deficiency
Definition
stability of the enzyme
Term
why does glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency come with episodic hemolytic anemia
Definition
in RBC they can only make NADPH via HMP, because they have no nucleus they cannot replace glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
Term
what causes episodic hemolytic anemia episodes in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Definition
oxidative stress
Term
how is oxidative stress caused
Definition
infection learning to oxygen radicals made by macrophages, drugs (even normally safe ones), fava beans
Term
what happens to a patient with a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency once the oxidative stress is removed
Definition
patient recovers completely as new RBC made
Term
what is a diagnostic feature of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Definition
heinz bodies
Term
what is a heinz body
Definition
percipitated oxidized hemoglibin
Term
what causes bon gierke's disease
Definition
glucose-6-P deficiency
Term
what does glucose-6-phosphate do
Definition
maintains blood glucose
Term
what is glucose-6-phosphate mostly located
Definition
in the liver
Term
what does hypouricemia do
Definition
tie up cellular phosphate
Term
what is a symptom of a glucose-6-phosphate deficiency
Definition
hypouricemia
