Using a novel radio-respirometer, the relative activity of the pentose phosphate pathway has been determined at various stages of development of the chick embryo, by comparing the recovery of Cl402 from glucose labeled in position one (G-1) to that from glucose labeled in position six (G-6). Respiro
The conversion of U-labelled [14C]glucose-6-phosphate into other products by a soluble fraction oflysed spinach chloroplasts has been studied. It was found that both an oxidative pentose phosphate cycle and a glycolytic reaction sequence occur in this fraction. The formation of bisphosphates and of
The capacity of the oxidative pentose pathway (PPP) in the heart is limited, since the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), the first and regulating enzyme of this pathway, is very low. Two mechanisms are involved in the regulation of this pathway. Under normal conditions, G-6-PD
