  • Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is a component of flavin coenzymes, acts as an electron carrier, and can cause glossitis or magenta tongue when deficient.
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is involved in carboxylation in lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, catabolism of amino acids, and can lead to dermatitis and glossitis when deficient.
  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) is involved in carboxylation reactions in lipogenesis and can result in symptoms like glossitis and dermatitis when deficient.
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is required for transamination reactions, acts as an antioxidant, and can cause scurvy when deficient.
  • Vitamin B7 (Biotin) is a co-factor for hydroxylation reactions and can lead to symptoms like weakening of connective tissue and delayed wound healing when deficient.
  • Vitamin C is an electron carrier involved in reactions and can cause scurvy when deficient.
  • Vitamin B9 (Folic acid) is essential for nucleic acid synthesis and can lead to a macrocytic anemia when deficient.

Test your knowledge on cleft lip and cleft palate, which are craniofacial malformations resulting from perturbations in the growth and fusion of facial tissues. Explore the genetic and environmental causes, the timing of lip and palate closure during embryonic development, and the role of folic acid supplements in reducing risks.
