The interconnection between synthesis and degradation of NADH and NADPH.

Introduction:

Metabolism is the whole set of reactions taking place in the body of a multicellular organisms. Metabolic reactions are of two different types, namely, anabolic and catabolic reactions. Both anabolic and catabolic reactions require oxidizing and reducing agents. NADH(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) acts as a significant reducing agent in cellular catabolism and NADPH(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) play an important role in anabolic reactions.
