gluconeogenesis/PPP

purpose of Pentose phosphate pathway produces
- NADPH: for reductive synthesis, maintenance of glutathione in reduced state
- ribose-5-P (pentoses): for nucleic acid synthesis
- interconversion of pentose with hexoses and trioses
what is the purpose of reduced glutathione

removes peroxides maintaining RBC membrane integrity and preventing hemolytic anemia
when is gluconeogenesis activated
what does it produce
- during times of low blood glucose levels in the fasted state
- produces G-6-P
what are the products of F-1,6-BPase and phosphofructokinase (PFK)
- F-1,6-BPase converts F-1,6-BP -> F-6-P
- PFK converts F-6-P -> F-1,6-BP
what are the products of G-6-Pase and glucokinase (hexokinase)
- G-6-P converts G-6-P -> glucose
- hexokinase converts glucose -> G-6-P
