    This review describes the variation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity in the main neurons of the molecular and granular layers as well as in the deep nuclei of the cerebellum as observed so far by optical and electron microscopy studies. Light microscopy and semiquantitative microphotometry of histochemical staining showed that the highest G6PD activity was expressed by Purkinje cells and neurons of the deep cerebellar nuclei; the elements of the molecular layer showed a diffuse G6PD staining, while the granular layer displayed only scattered G6PD activity. Electron microscopy analysis showed that the basket and stellate cells, as well as the Golgi cells, have a remarkable G6PD activity, while in the granule cells the enzyme was barely detectable. The results show that cerebellar G6PD activity changes with different neuron types as a function of its role in sustaining NADPH dependent pathways in these cells
