Lesson Outline Introduction to Pentose Phosphate Pathway Location: Cytosol of mammary glands, liver, adrenal cortex, adipose tissue, and red blood cells Connection to nucleotide synthesis and NADPH production Oxidative Phase Irreversible reactions Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) conversion to 6-phosphogluconolactone and eventually to ribulose-5-phosphate G6P dehydrogenase: rate-limiting step Production of first NADPH 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase: conversion to ribulose-5-phosphate Production of second NADPH and carbon dioxide Non-oxidative Phase Reversible reactions Phosphopentose isomerase: conversion of ribulose-5-phosphate to ribose-5-phosphate Transketolase: conversion of ribose-5-phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate Both intermediates enter glycolysis G6PD Deficiency X-linked recessive metabolic disease Hemolytic anemia during periods of oxidative stress Decrease in NADPH and low availability of active glutathione Triggers: infections, inflammatory conditions, fava beans, and certain drugs Peripheral blood smear findings: Heinz bodies and bite cells Hemoglobinuria Prevalence in people of African, Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean descent Protection against malaria Don't stop here
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses appetite via central nervous system pathways, and delays gastric emptying
Enhances the appearance of skin clarity and glow
Despite marketing claims about rapid results, the scientific evidence for IV glutathione's safety and effectiveness for skin lightening is severely limited and concerning
