Effects of oxidant stress on the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway of platelets.
Platelet function may be altered by the oxygen metabolites generated by phagocytic cells. This raised the question whether oxidant injury to platelets is associated with a depletion of reduced glutathione. since this compound is known to be important in the protection of other blood cells against oxidant damage. We studied the effects of the oxygen metabolites generated by the enzyme system xan...
متن کاملStimulation of leukocyte hexose monophosphate shunt activity by ascorbic Acid.
Ascorbic acid in vitro markedly stimulates the hexose monophosphate shunt in normal human neutrophils, rabbit alveolar macrophages, and in neutrophils from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease.
متن کاملHexose monophosphate shunt in rat lens: stimulation by vitamin C.
The metabolism of glucose through the hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt has been studied in rat lens in vitro, in the absence and presence of ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids. Both forms of the vitamin stimulated the utilization of glucose through the HMP shunt, the stimulatory effect of dehydroascorbate being substantially greater than that of ascorbate. The stimulatory effect of ascorbate, a...
متن کاملA humble hexose monophosphate pathway metabolite regulates short- and long-term control of lipogenesis.
M ost modern biologists and contemporary textbooks of biochemistry present the glycolytic pathway and the synthesis of fats as history where all of the relevant facts are known. An article in a recent issue of PNAS by Kosaku Uyeda and his group (1) combines new insights into the regulation of lipogenesis with heroic protein chemistry and an elegant combination of enzymology and molecular biolog...
متن کاملRole of Hexose Monophosphate Pathway in Tomato Catabolism.
The operation of the hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP) in plants has been the object of extensive studies in recent years (1, 2, 4). In previous papers (3, 9) it has been demonstrated that in intact tomato fruit, glucose is catabolized mainly by way of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMP) and to a limited extent via the HMP pathway. However, the catabolic fate of the pentose phosphate, der...
