Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase – from oxidative stress to cellular functions and degenerative diseases

Abstract: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, is indispensable to maintenance of the cytosolic pool of NADPH and thus the cellular redox balance. The role of G6PD as an antioxidant enzyme has been recognized in erythrocytes for a long time, as its deficiency is associated with neonatal jaundice, drug- or infection-mediated hemolytic crisis, favism and, less commonly, chronic non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. To a large extent, advances in the fie… Show more

“…These adaptations may result from cumulative effects of repeated exercise bouts on the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes as on exercise-induced modulation of antioxidant defence (13,14). In conclusion we suggest that regular, long-term physical exercise cause adaptations in antioxidant defences.…”

“…The role of the regeneration of glutathione in the protection of erythrocytes against redox-cycling xenobiotics generating oxidative stress is evident in favism. In this case, an inborn deficiency of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity leads to erythrocyte destruction upon exposure to fava beans or certain drugs [1,2]. By contrast, no significant anomalies in physiological erythrocyte functions have been reported in acatalasemia [3,4] and glutathione reductase deficiency [4].…”
