Hematologic and systemic metabolic alterations due to Mediterranean type II G6PD deficiency in mice
2021-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the single most common enzymopathy, present in approximately 400 million humans (e.g. 5% of humans). Its prevalence is hypothesized to be due to conferring resistance to malaria. However, G6PD deficiency also results in hemolytic sequelae from oxidant stress.
