the variations of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) activity in different brain regions of normal, hypo- and hyperthyroid rats were investigated. hypo- and hyperthyrodism were experimentaly induced by administration of methimazol and liothyronine, respectively. in normal rats, midbrain had the minimum (70 mu/mg) and cerebral cortex the maximum (349 mu/mg) g6pd activity. hyperthyrodism in...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a common hemolytic genetic disorder, particularly in the areas endemic to malaria. The risk of drug induced Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency related hemolysis depends on a number of factors including the Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variant. Aims: To know the G6PD deficiency and identify its variants in drug induced hemolysis in m...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The pathogenesis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia hasn't been completely defined in Gloucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient newborns. The aim of this study was to detect the relationship between Gilbert's syndrome and hyperbilirubinemia in Gloucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-control study was conducted in A...

Acalypha indica (Indian Nettle in English, Kuppaimeni Tamil, Kuppameniya Sinhala) leaves are locally used as herbal remedy. It can induce hemolysis and methemoglobinemia a Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient person. Here we report 46-year-old-male was presented with following ingestion. Later, he found to have G6PD deficiency. He completely recovered supportive treatment.

The major role of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is to generate reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), which is indispensable to reductive metabolism and maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis. Most advances in this field have been made in the pathophysiology of G6PD-deficient erythrocytes and the molecular characterization of different G6PD variants. Recently...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient subjects are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Quercetin, a flavonoids, has been employed as a potent oxygen-free radical scavenger in order to assess the protective effects of quercetin against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in G6PD-deficient and normal human erythrocytes. Erythrocytes of G6PD-deficient (n = 10) and normal (n = 10) subjects were ...

The pentose phosphate pathway is the metabolic where NADPH, reducing force in metabolism, and ribose 5-phosphate, building block of DNA RNA, are produced. In this study, vitro effects 5-fluorouracil Tamoxifen chemotherapeutic agents on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) 6-phosphogluconate (6PGD), which key enzymes pathway, were investigated. first stage G6PD 6PGD purified from rat erythro...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the key enzyme that initiates pentose phosphate cycle in glucose metabolism. Physiologically, this pathway main source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH) for red blood cells. This study aims to identify glucose-6-phosphate mutations Nung ethnic patients with G6PD deficiency. 18 pediatric group were diagnosed deficiency at Vietnam National Ch...

Five bromophenols isolated from three Rhodomelaceae algae (Laurencia nipponica, Polysiphonia morrowii, Odonthalia corymbifera) showed inhibitory effects against glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Among them, the symmetric bromophenol dimer (5) showed the highest inhibitory activity against G6PD.
