GLUCOSE -6- PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE Keith Portillo 23 March 2007 Abstract: Glucose-6-phospate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)‚ an X-linked inherited disease‚ is due to the lack of 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

Sir Safar Lecture 2 Finals Pentose Phosphate Pathway (S. 70) Alternative pathway for glucose oxidation. Similar to glycolysis‚ but instead of having pyruvate as the end product it is diverted to other pathways. Supplier of energy to the cell in the form of NADPH (a reducing power for biosynthesis). It is also referred to as hexose monophosphate shunt. *Fate of glucose 6-phosphate (G 6-P) IN THE PPP (S. 71) Taken out from glycolysis and converted into Ribulose 5-phosphate. With the conversion of

A series of dilution of known concentration is performed from the phosphate working solution. Each of the prepared working standards‚ the unknown samples and the blank are then made to react with a mixed reagent which have been prepared after acid wash of the glasswares Glassware * 2 Beakers * 11 conical flasks

Activation of the classical pathway needs the participation of the complement C1‚ C4‚ C2. Activation of the complement classical pathway usually begins with the formation of complex antigen-antibody dissolved either by binding of antibodies to the antigens on an appropriate destination such as a cell bacteria. IgM and IgG subclass (IgG1‚ IgG2 and IgG3) can activate the classical pathway. The first phase of the activation process involves a continuous chain enzymes C1‚ C4‚ C2

Thousands of immigrants are crossing the U.S. border illegally‚ many people’s solution is to deport them all or build a wall‚ but the most efficient solution and least costly is to create a pathway to citizenship. The war on terrorism is no excuse to not let starving people into our country. Even if we were to deport them all it would cost so much money our country would not be able to climb out of the giant hole of debt. Although many believe a path to citizenship would lead to economic downfall

The energy from the sun can only be used by producers. The producers get eaten by consumers. A consumer is a herbivore‚ a carnivore‚ or an omnivore. Fungi and decay bacteria are decomposers. Decomposers break down and recycle dead things and make the soil better for producers. Food webs are the overlapping
