Listen "Biochemistry | Pentose Phosphate Pathway"
Episode Synopsis
🍐 In this episode of PodBites, Amr and Abdulrahman break down the pentose phosphate pathway — glycolysis’s side quest that keeps cells protected, building, and alive under oxidative stress.
🎙️ Tune in to explore:
What the pentose phosphate pathway is and why it matters
The two main products: NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate
Oxidative vs non-oxidative phases and why one is irreversible
G6PD as the rate-limiting enzyme
The role of NADPH in glutathione, oxidative stress, and the respiratory burst
Key clinical ties like G6PD deficiency and hemolytic anemia
How the pathway links back to glycolysis
🌟 A clear, high-yield explanation that turns PPP from a memorization headache into a pathway that actually clicks.
