[Polarographic method for determining activity of dehydrogenases of the pentosephosphate pathway of carbohydrate metabolism]. 1986

S A Makarov, and G V Kudriavtseva, and V I Shishkin

A procedure is developed for estimation of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases activity in human erythrocytes. The procedure involved polarographic registration of oxygen consumption, which is directly related to content of NADPH formed, in a coupled enzymatic system containing peroxidase and Mn2+.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010427	Pentose Phosphate Pathway	An oxidative decarboxylation process that converts GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE to D-ribose-5-phosphate via 6-phosphogluconate. The pentose product is used in the biosynthesis of NUCLEIC ACIDS. The generated energy is stored in the form of NADPH. This pathway is prominent in tissues which are active in the synthesis of FATTY ACIDS and STEROIDS.

D010734	Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase	An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the reaction 6-phospho-D-gluconate and NADP+ to yield D-ribulose 5-phosphate, carbon dioxide, and NADPH. The reaction is a step in the pentose phosphate pathway of glucose metabolism.

D011048	Polarography	An electrochemical technique for measuring the current that flows in solution as a function of an applied voltage. The observed polarographic wave, resulting from the electrochemical response, depends on the way voltage is applied (linear sweep or differential pulse) and the type of electrode used. Usually a mercury drop electrode is used.	DC Polarography,Pulse Polarography,Polarography, DC,Polarography, Pulse
