So a lot of this chapter talked about the pentose phosphate pathway.
00:13
So this is essential implants, but it also happens in other species.
00:20
Because any dph can protect from ros.
00:28
Ros is reactive oxygen species.
00:32
These are things like hydrogen peroxide and other reactions.
00:37
Species, as you might imagine, that are sometimes created in different cell pathways in human cells.
00:51
And any dph can react with these and basically we'll say that it's they're nullified.
01:02
So because of that, nadph is very important.
01:09
Now here's the thing.
01:11
If you lack or are deficient in glucose 6 phosphatase, which is one of the enzymes that is needed for this pathway, then you can't get this pathway.
01:31
And as a result, you don't have any dph.
01:37
So this question asks about why this would present as anemia.
01:44
Anemia means there's not enough red blood cells.
01:57
Because there aren't enough, your body just can't receive all the oxygen that it needs...
