Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (see image, also known as the HMP shunt pathway). G6PD converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphoglucono-δ-lactone and is the rate-limiting enzyme of this metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells by maintaining the level of the reduced form ...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is very common worldwide, and causes acute hemolytic anemia in the presence of simple infection, ingestion of fava beans, or reaction with certain medicines, antibiotics, antipyretics, and antimalarials. [3] Cell growth and proliferation are affected by G6PD. [20]
Pyruvate kinase deficiency is the second most common cause of enzyme-deficient hemolytic anemia, following G6PD deficiency. [13] The symptoms of pyruvate kinase deficiency are mild to severe hemolytic Anemia , cholecystolithiasis , tachycardia , hemochromatosis , icteric sclera, splenomegaly , leg ulcers , jaundice , fatigue , and shortness of ...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency affects the degradation of glucose in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is especially important in red blood cells.

The reaction is the second NADPH releasing reaction in the pentose phosphate pathway, the first being catalyzed by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. 3-keto-6-phosphogluconate then rapidly (in an irreversible reaction) decarboxylates to CO 2 and ribulose-5-phosphate, which is the precursor to many vital metabolic processes. [citation needed]
Focusing on burning calories—rather than using an energy source of fat versus glucose—is probably more important for a weight loss goal, says Reed. Plus, even though you’re walking faster ...
