4. The
process which brings
about oxidation &
decarboxylation at C-1 of
Glucose 6phosphate, reducing NADP+
to NADPH & producing
Pentose Phosphates.

18. Mutation
in gene coding for G6PD,
production of NADPH decreases,low
level of reduced glutathione--accumulation of H2O2---RBC’s memb.
bursts---Heamolysis.
Oxidant group of drugs e.g,
Antimalarials,Analgesics,Antipyretics
& Sulpha antibiotics.
Fava beans.

19. Genetically
variant form of
Transketolase. It can’t bind
TPP, affecting “transketolation”
reaction.
Symptoms
are:
Mental disorders
Severe memory loss
Partial paralysis

21. Occurs in 3 ways:
a) Ratio of [NADP+][NADPH]
_1st Step is Rate-limiting step catalysed by
G6PD.
b) Increased
HMP Shunt on feeding
high CHO diet & decreased in
Diabetes Mellitus
c)HORMONES:
Insulin & Thyroid hormones

22. Occurs
in all
tissues
Not a multi cyclic
process
NAD+ is H+
acceptor
ATP production
CO2 is never
formed
EM PATHWAY
Occurs
in certain
special tissues
Multi cyclic
process
NADP+
is H+
acceptor
ATP is not
produced
CO2 is produced
HM PATHWAY
