Gluconeogenesis / Pentose Phosphate Pathway

 

1.      Identify the three main functions of the pentose phosphate pathway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.      Identify the enzymes of glutathione metabolism and the relationship of this metabolism to the pentose pathway and protection of the cell against oxidants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.      Identify gluconeogenic precursors, products and enzymes and their general pathways of metabolism. Pay particular attention to those reactions that differ from glycolysis.
