HNF 150 - Vitamins
_______ works with B12 for DNA synthesis - ✅✅-folate
alpha tocopherol - ✅✅-most potent form of vitamin E for antioxidant function
in humans
Antioxidant - ✅✅-a molecule that protects cells from damaging free radicals
Ariboflavinos - ✅✅-Riboflavin (B2) deficiency disorder in skin
ariboflavinosis - ✅✅-condition resulting from lack of riboflavin
B12 function - ✅✅-compounds synthesized by bacteria, fungi, and algae
needed for DNA and RNA synthesis/function
Maintain myelin sheaths
beneficial/healing properties of tart cherries - ✅✅-contain phytochemicals
and antioxidants and reduces inflammation
Beriberi -✅✅-Thiamin (B1) deficiency disease - wet and dry symptoms
Beriberi dry symptoms - ✅✅-neurological problems, muscular problems, and
poor appetite
Beriberi wet symptom - ✅✅-dry symptoms as well as cardiovascular
impairment
beta-carotene - ✅✅ -an orange vegetable pigment that the body can change
into the active form of vitamin A. one of the antioxidant nutrients
carotenoids - ✅✅ -pigmented materials in fruits and vegetables that range in
color from yellow to orange to red; 3 types yield vitamin A. converted to
retinoids as needed
✅✅
cell differentiation - -starts with stem cells, process of transforming an
unspecialized cell into a specialized cell. Vitamin A plays important role
, coenzyme - ✅✅ -compound that combines with an inactive protein, called
apoenzyme, to form a catalytically active enzyme, called holoenzyme. Most of
B vitamins
Fat-soluble vitamins -✅✅-D, E, K, A
Fat-soluble vitamins absorption - ✅✅-absorbed with fat in the small
intestine. transported to the lymph. stored in the liver and adipose tissue
Folate functions - ✅✅-DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, formations of
neurotransmitters
✅✅
free radicals - -compound with an unpaired electron, which causes it to
seek an electron from another compound; can be destructive to
electron-dense cell components like DNA and cell membranes
function of antioxidants - ✅✅ -provides electrons to free radicals so they stop
stealing from other tissues/parts of the body
hemolytic anemia - ✅✅ -disorder that causes red blood cells to breakdown
faster than they can be replaced; caused by a deficiency in vitamin E
Hemolytic anemia - ✅✅-Vitamin E deficiency disease - breakdown of red
blood cells
How B vitamins assist with energy metabolism - ✅✅ -B vitamins do not
"provide energy" coenzymes derived from B-vitamins are used by many of the
enzymes that are involved in our metabolic pathways. Metabolize and
generate energy from carbs, lipids, and amino acids
hypercalcemia - ✅✅ -high concentrations of calcium in the bloodstream;
Vitamin D toxicity symptom
Hypercarotenemia - ✅✅-Vitamin A toxicity symptom - orange skin color
Intrinsic factor - ✅✅-substance in gastric juices that enhances vitamin B12
absorption
