I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

Answer to a Question on Pentose Phosphate Pathway





In this video I have briefly explained a diseases related to pentose phosphate pathway (which is also referred as hexose monophosphate shunt). This disease in question is glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency) which causes hemolytic anemia due to deficiency of NADPH. NADPH deficiency leads to decreased GSH (reduced glutathione) which leads to increased presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
