| Description: The pentose phosphate pathway converts glucose to various other sugars, which can be used for energy. Its most important products, however, are NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate. In stage 1, the oxidative phase, glucose-6- phosphate is oxidized to ribulose-5-phosphate and CO2, with production of NADPH. The remaining stages constitute the nonoxidative phase of the pathway.
