G6PD is Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase. It is an enzyme required to reduce NADP⁺ to NADPH

When somebody is said to be G6PD, is supposed to be G6PDD(G6PD-Deficiency). But G6PD is enough to understand.

NADPH is indirect agent that protect one from hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia is usually acute.

What is hemolytic anemia?
Hemolytic anemia is a type of anemia(low Red Blood Cell[RBC] count in blood) caused by lysis(rupture) of RBC. When the RBC level is low, blood carries less oxygen and cannot meet the body's demand. Result? Cell death and can be fatal if not treated in time.

What causes hemolytic anemia?
In this case, fava bean, hydrogen peroxides etc.
Example, H₂O₂ -> 2 OH·
OH· is free radical and it can cause the RBC to rupture by damaging the membrane of the RBC.

What causes the G6PD-Deficiency?
Genetically inherited. If you are a male, you inherited from your mother(ONLY mother). If you are a female, you inherited it from both of your parents.

Can the deficiency be treated?
No.

hmmmm

will there be anyone going from pj? any guide on how to get there?

just take a ride on putra lrt at any stations in pj (tmn jaya, asia jaya etc). drop off at wangsa maju station (approx. 30 minutes). take a cab from there to UTAR setapak for only 5 minutes. do complaint if ur taxi ride is longer than 15 minutes. it's so near.

sanji ko ya going? Well, again i can't donate due to my low blood but then thought of to get people go there and may be I can b a driver or tour guide to lead ppl there from pj

wish i could. during that 5 days i have to attend certification program. but maybe during lunch hour u can give me a ride there.
my place's just 10 minutes drive from UTAR.

I know I got to be away during end of month but not confirm yet
I will make some arrangement hope to get more people to join for the camp.

there is one in Summit USJ tomoro 9th Nov 2008 1st floor.
Somewhere near to POPULAR.
From 11am to 4pm
If not mistaken

GREAT!!! Thanks for the information
This one I can make it to get people to there. Furthermore it is so near!!!
