A member asked:
How is glucose-6-phosphate a key junction point in carbohydrate metabolism under varying energy states. explanation please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 major pathways: glucose 6 phosphate can be metabolized via glycolysis for energy production, produce reducing power by production of NADPH or form 5 carbon sugars via hexose mono-phosphate shunt controlled by G6-PD or be stored for future energy needs in the form of glycogen. Which pathway depends on the cell's energy and synthetic needs.
