Chapter 9 Flashcards
(99 cards)
Hereditary deficiency of nearly every enzyme in glycolysis and results to shortened RBC survival
Hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia
2 main functions of RBC
Transmembranous cation gradient concentration proteins
Cation pumps
Concentrations of pumps
⬆️ IC K+ , ⬇️ EC K+
⬇️ IC Na+ , ⬆️ EC Na+
⏬ IC Ca+2 , ⏫ EC Ca+2
Energy-producing enzymes degrade over time, the pumps fail, na, ca, water flow inside the RBC leading to
Swelling and destruction
Requires glucose to generate ATP (greatest source of energy in RBC)
EMP - anaerobic glycolysis
Consumption of 2 ATP/ glucose molecule
Generation of 4 ATP/ glucose molecule
NET GAIN=?
2 molecules of ATP
Final product of phase 1 glycolysis
G3P
Rate-limiting in steady state anaerobic glycolysis
Product of 2nd phase glycolysis
3-PG and ATP
Generation products that maximize oxygen delivery from several vantage points
Diversions or Shunts
Detoxifies accumulated peroxide to extend functional life span of the RBC
HMP or PPP (AEROBIC or OXIDATIVE Glycolysis)
Agent that OXIDIZES Heme Iron (Fe2+), proteins, lipids (thiol grps)
Peroxide
Diverts G6P to Pentose Phosphate
G6PD
NADP* ⏩ NADPH (reduced)
NADPH ➡️ GSSG ➖ glutathione reductase ➖ ⏩ GSH
GSH ➡️ Peroxide (H2O2) ➖ glutathione peroxidase - ⏩ H2O + O2
HMP
Provide the only means for generation of NADPH for GSSG reduction
RBCs become Susceptible to oxidative damage w/o it
G6PD
Most common human RBC enzyme deficiency worldwide ⏩ HEREDITARY NONSPHEROCYTIC ANEMIA
G6PD Deficiency
Fe2+ ~peroxide ~ ➡️ Fe3+
metHb Reductase Pathway
metHemoglobign (metHb)
Returns oxidized iron (Fe3+) ⏩ Fe2+
65% met-hb reducing capacity in RBC
MetHb reductase or cytochrome b5 reductase (cytob5r)
1,3-BPG ~bisphosphoglycerate mutase~ ⏩ 2,3-BPG ➡️ competes with 02 for hemoglobin ➡️ O2 released and delivered to the tissues
Rapoport-Luebering Pathway
Inhibits the rapoport shunt by inhibiting bisphosphoglycerate mutase and retaining 1,3-BPG in EMP

RBC membrane consists of
52% Proteins
40% Lipids
8% Carbs
__% excess surface are compared to __fL sphere
40%
90 fL
40% : 90fL allows RBCs to streched up to __x their resting diameter
