Embden-Meyerhof Pathway
|
Anaerobic glycolysis. 90% ATP (2 consumed, 4 generated). Begins with glucose, ends with pyruvate then lactate
|
|
Hexose Monophosphate Pathway
|
AKA pentose phosphate shunt. Aerobic glycolysis. 10% ATP. Oxidative phase generates NADPH using G6P, which helps prevent oxidative stress by converting H2O2 to H2O.
|
|
Methemoglobin Reductase Pathway
|
Glyceraldehyde converts NAD to NADH in glycolysis, then NADH converts back to NAD w/ rxn from methemoglobin reductase. Methemoglobin is then converted to hemoglobin (prevents oxidation of heme).
|
|
Methemoglobin
|
A form of hemoglobin in which the iron component has been oxidized from the ferrous to ferric state. Methemoglobin cannot carry oxygen.
|
|
Rapoport-Luebering Pathway
|
When O2 supply is reduced, there is an increase in deoxyhemoglobin, which leads to increased binding of DPG and helps increase glycolysis
|
|
Embryonic hemoglobins
|
Primitive hemoglobins formed by immature erythrocytes in yolk sac that include Gower I and II and Portland types. Zeta chain is analogous to alpha chain of fetal/adult hgb and epsilon chain is analogous to gamma, beta, and delta chains.
|
|
Fetal hemoglobins
|
Hemoglobin F has two alpha and two gamma chains. This hgb type is associated with hepatic erythropoiesis. At about 6 months of age, adult hemoglobin predominates. Also has increased affinity for oxygen.
|
|
Oxygen dissociation curve (right shift)
|
Increase in: O2 release to tissues, 2,3 DPG, and body temp.
Decrease in: pH (acidosis) and O2 affinity Associated with anemia |
|
Oxygen dissociation curve (left shift)
|
Increase in: pH (alkalosis) and O2 affinity
Decrease in: O2 release to tissues, 2,3 DPG, and body temp. Associated with: Multiple transfusion |
|
2,3-DPG
|
Combines with beta chains of deoxyhemoglobin and diminishes molecule's affinity for oxygen
|
|
Hemoglobin F
|
Fetal Hgb, 2 alpha 2 gamma, primarily in cord blood, high O2 affinity, does not bind to 2,3 DPG, higher volume of blood in fetus
|
|
Methemoglobin
|
Abbreviated as Hi, binds to Ferric ions, incapable of binding to O2, in high concentration causes hypoxia and cyanosis, increase by oxidizing chemicals/drugs, deficiency of metHg reductase (genetic), treatment is ascorbic acid or methylene blue
|
|
Sulfhemoglobin
|
Caused by drugs/chemicals, irreversible binding to sulfur-containing chemicals, persists for life
|
|
Carboxyhemoglobin
|
Heme iron binds to carbon monoxide, 200x more affinity for CO than for O2 w/ much slower release of CO than O2, derived from exhaust or industrial pollutants
|
|
Ferritin
|
Primary iron storage in liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Easily immobilized by the body for utilization
|
|
Hemosiderin
|
Primary iron storage in bone marrow. Composed of insoluble aggregates of ferritin, proteins, and some lipids. Less readily available for utilization and is released more slowly
|
|
Extravascular hemolysis
|
Erythrocyte is phagocytized and digested by macrophages and the hemoglobin is disassembled into iron, protoporphyrin, and globin. Iron is transported to plasma by transferrin to be recycled in marrow, globin is catabolized in liver into AA and recycled, and porphyrin ring (heme) is either exhaled as CO2 or transported by plasma albumin into the liver and broken down into unconjugated bilirubin, which is eventually discarded in urine as urobilinogen or in feces as stercobilinogen.
|
|
Haptoglobin
|
RBC destruction results in hgb being released directly into bloodstream and undergoes dissociation into alpha and beta dimers, which are quickly bound to plasma haptoglobin. This stable complex prevents urinary excretion. It is removed from circulation by hepatocytes and broken down into its components. Once plasma haptoglobin is depleted, unbound hgb alpha and beta dimers are filtered by glomeruli in kidneys, reabsorbed, and either converted hemosiderin where it is excreted or remains in epithelial cells.
|
|
Hemopexin
|
Hemoglobin that is neither bound by haptoglobin nor directly excreted is oxidized to methemoglobin. The heme groups are released and taken up by hemopexin, which is a plasma protein that binds heme with high affinity. The complex is then processed in the liver.
|
|
Methemalbumin
|
Heme groups from methemoglobin combine with albumin to form methemalbumin until more hemopexin is available.
|
|
Methionine
|
Vitamin B12 (as Me-Cbl) and folic acid (as MTHF) help convert homocysteine to methionine through methylation in the cytoplasm.
|
|
Methylmalonic acid
|
Requires B12 as a cofactor (adenosyl-Cbl) to form succinyl CoA in mitochondria for Hgb synthesis or fatty acid oxidation.
