Four enzymes produce NADPH: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the key regulatory enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), the third enzyme of that pathway, malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH). However, the contribution of each enzyme to NADPH production in the cortex of adrenal gland has not been established. Therefore, activity of G6PD, PGD, MDH, and ICDH was localized and quantified in rat adrenocortical tissue using metabolic mapping, image analysis, and electron microscopy. The four enzymes have similar localization patterns in adrenal gland with highest activities in the zona fasciculata of the cortex. G6PD activity was strongest, PGD, MDH, and ICDH activity was \u223c60%, 15%, and 7% of G6PD activity, respectively. The K\n                    <jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub>\n                    value of G6PD for glucose-6-phosphate was two times higher than the K\n                    <jats:sub>m<\/jats:sub>\n                    value of PGD for phosphogluconate. As a consequence, virtual flux rates through G6PD and PGD are largely similar. It is concluded that G6PD and PGD provide the major part of NADPH in adrenocortical cells. Their activity is localized in the cytoplasm associated with free ribosomes and membranes of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, indicating that NADPH-demanding processes related to biosynthesis of steroid hormones take place at these sites. Complete inhibition of G6PD by androsterones suggests that there is feedback regulation of steroid hormone biosynthesis via G6PD.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1369\/jhc.7a7222.2007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,28]],"date-time":"2007-05-28T20:26:00Z","timestamp":1180383960000},"page":"975-980","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["NADPH Production by the Pentose Phosphate Pathway in the Zona Fasciculata of Rat Adrenal Gland"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Wilma M.","family":"Frederiks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Intan P.E.D.","family":"K\u00fcmmerlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klazina S.","family":"Bosch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heleen","family":"Vreeling-Sindel\u00e1rov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ard","family":"Jonker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cornelis J.
