The changes in the activity of the pentose phosphate cycle produced by the activation or inhibition of different NADPH-consuming pathways were studied. The inhibition of fatty acid synthesis by kynurenate produced to the same extent, inhibition of the pentose phosphate cycle activity and an increase (about 2-fold) in the NADPH/NADP ratio. The addition of tert-butylhydroperoxide or paraquat, which is metabolized via NADPH-consuming pathways, produced the activation of the pentose phosphate cycle and a decrease in the NADPH/NADP ratio (about 3-fold). The plot of the NADPH/NADP ratio vs. the pentose phosphate cycle activity gave a straight line with a regression index of 0.999. The regulation of the pentose phosphate cycle mainly by the intracellular NADPH/NADP ratio is discussed.
