FIGURE 3 The Pentose Phosphate Pathway. Note the importance of G6PD in the production of reduced G-SH, ribose, and NADPH (adapted from: Yoshida and Beutler, 1986, pg.8).

• NADP+ = nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
• NADPH = reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
• GS-SG = oxidized glutathione
• G-SH = reduced glutathione
