Nicotinamide - adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced NADPH

Inhibition by niacin of inflammatory and oxidative pathways may exert anti-atherosclerotic effects. In cultured human aortic endothelial cells, niacin increased cellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH) and glutathione, regulators of redox reactions, and reduced production of reactive oxygen species. Niacin inhibited monocyte adhesion through the inhibition of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (Ganji et al. 2009). Persistent increases in plasma adiponectin, an adipokine with anti-inflammatory properties, were found after 6 months of niacin treatment in humans (Linke et al. 2009).

Endogenous NO is produced almost exclusively by L-arginine catabolism to L-citrul-line in a reaction catalyzed by a family of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) [3]. In the first step, Arg is hydroxylated to an enzyme-bound intermediate "-hydroxy-1.-arginine (NHA), and 1 mol of NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form) and O2 are consumed. In the second step, N H A is oxidized to citrulline and NO, with consumption of 0.5 mol of NADPH and 1 mol of 02 (Scheme 1.1). Oxygen activation in both steps is carried out by the enzyme-bound heme, which derives electrons from NADPH. Mammalian NOS consists of an N-terminal oxy-...

The answers are 34-g, 33-a, 36-d. (Katzung, pp 53-56.) There are four major components to the mixed-function oxidase system (1) cytochrome P450, (2) NADPH, or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, (3) NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, and (4) molecular oxygen. The figure that follows shows the catalytic cycle for the reactions dependent upon cytochrome P450.

An alternative method for detecting the fructose produced involves the use of ffuctokinase (EC 2.7.1.4), phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), measuring in this case the nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH) produced. ... 

There are two pathways degrading glucose to pyruvate i.e., the Embden-Meyerhof(EM) pathway and the Entner-Doudoroff(ED) pathway. By the EM pathway, 2 mol of NADH are produced while 1 mol each of NADH and NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate, reduced form) is produced by the ED pathway as follows.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD and its reduced form dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)) as well as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP and its reduced form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH)) are essential co-factors for many dehydrogenases. The presence of NAD was first demonstrated in P. gallinaceum (Speck and Evans, 1945) and later studies showed increased levels of these pyridine nucleotides in P. lophurae, P. berghei and P. falciparum. Trager (1977) reported that high levels of... 

The xylose reductase (XR) catalyzes the first step of a fungal pathway that allows certain organisms to metabolize xylose, such as Candida boidinii [6], Candida guilliermondii [7], Candida tmpicalis [8], Candida parapsilosis [9], and Debaryomyces hansenii [10]. After the reduction of xylose to xylitol by XR in a manner that can utilize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form NADH) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form NADPH), xylitol is re-oxidized to xylulose by xyUtol dehydrogenase, which is often specific for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) [11]. Xylulose is then phosphorylated. An efficient, pathway should recycle the cosubstrate such that there is no...
