important in red blood cell metabolism. G6PD deficiency is the most common human enzyme defect. Individuals with the disease may exhibit nonimmune hemolytic anemia in response to a number of causes‚ most commonly infection or exposure to certain medications or chemicals. G6PD deficiency is closely linked to favism‚ a disorder characterized by a hemolytic reaction to consumption of broad beans‚ with a name derived from the Italian name of the broad bean (fava). The name favism is sometimes used to refer

that targets red blood cells in the circulatory system . People with favism show symptoms of anemia or hemolytic anemia where there is very little red blood cells or the red blood cells burst. Other diseases that target red blood cells include sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia . J.B.S. Haldane (one of the first people to understand evolutionary pressure and its effects) suggested that sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia‚ helped its host better resist malaria (Dr.Moalem 89). Haldane’s hypothesis was

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. This enzyme is present in red blood cells and its deficiency can lead to hemolytic anemia. Red blood cells carry oxygen and G6PD protects these cells from natural oxygen chemicals that may build up when you have a fever or take certain medications. If there are too many of these oxidative chemicals‚ they can destroy the red blood cells‚ causing hemolytic anemia. The G6PD enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconate while also reducing

The autoimmune diseases are‚ simply put‚ the process which the immune system attacks its own healthy tissues and organs. How this works is‚ our bodies have an immune system‚ which is a complex network of special cells and organs that defends the body from germs and other foreign invaders. At the core of the immune system is the ability to tell the difference between self and nonself‚ especially if there’s a flaw the body makes. When this happens‚ the body makes autoantibodies that attack normal cells
