Document Summary

Role of nadph in protection of erythrocytes from peroxides (vital for erythrocyte integrity/o2 transport) _peroxides react with double bonds in fatty acids and cleave. Liver: g6p > glucose (blood), glycolysis, and pp pathway. 3 g6p + 6 nadp+ + 3 h2o. 6 nadph + 6 h+ + 3 co2 + 2 f6p + ga3p. Specific for nadp+ and strongly inhibited by nadph. _deficiency: hemolytic anemia (confirm role of nadph in fatty acid (fat) synthesis)_ C=o in beta-ketoacid as electron sink - facilitates decarboxylation.
