Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity of human sperm.
Sperm from normal human donors and a G6PD-A- individual were examined for x-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and autosomally linked 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity. With the use of fluorescence microscopy, we divised a procedure to visualise in individual sperm cells the fluorescence of reduced coenzyme NADPH formed by each of the two enzymes in the presence of approp...
متن کاملglucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is the most prevalent enzymopathy in mankind. it has sex-linked inheritance. this enzyme exists in all cells. g6pd deficiency increases the sensitivity of red blood cells to oxidative damage. g6pd deficiency was discovered in 1950 when some people suffered hemolytic anemia as a result of taking antimalarial drugs (primaquin). most people w...
متن کاملINHIBITION OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY BY DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE AND RELATED STEROIDS.
The inhibitory effects of several steroids on G6PD activity using intact erythrocytes are reported. Incubation of whole blood with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) resulted in 42% and 12% inhibition in the enzyme activity in the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. Addition of epinephrine and/or aminophylline into the incubation medium caused further enzyme inhibition suggesting a po...
متن کاملPrevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency in Jiroft City in Southern Iran
Background and Aims: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a global problem and the most common cause of jaundice in neonates. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in Jiroft city in southern Kerman. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from 2016 to 2019. Blood samples were taken from all patie...
متن کاملA glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) splice site consensus sequence mutation associated with G6PD enzyme deficiency.
A glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient strain of mouse (GPDX) which was developed using the ethylating agent ethylnitrosourea (ENU) has been used to study clonality in epithelial tissues. While the biochemical defect has been quantified, the genetic basis of the deficiency is unknown. The G6PD gene is composed of 13 exons. Exon 1 is not translated, and the ATG start site is near t...
