Glycerol and triglycerides (TG) are two important analytical targets in lipid metabolism research, biochemical testing, food analysis, and fermentation process monitoring. Glycerol is not only the structural backbone of triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and related lipid molecules, but also a key ...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the key rate-limiting enzyme of the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). It catalyzes the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphoglucono-δ-lactone while reducing NADP⁺ to NADPH. NADPH is pivotal for antioxidant ...
