Oxidative phase of HMP shunt pathway is least active in: (A) Adrenal coex, (B) Lactating mammary gland, (C) RBC, (D) Skeletal muscle
Answer is D. Oxidative phase of HMP shunt pathway is least active in skeletal muscle High activity of HMP shunt Low activity of HMP shunt Liver Non-lactating mammary gland Adipose tissue Skeletal muscle Adrenal coex, Thyroid Erythrocytes Testis Lactating mammary gland NOTE: Oxidative phase of HMP shunt cannot occur in kidneys.
