- Vitamin B7 deficiency can lead to symptoms like dermatitis and glossitis when deficient.
- Vitamin B9 deficiency can lead to a macrocytic anemia when deficient.
Vitamin K and Coagulation
- Vitamin K is involved in the synthesis of clotting factors and is necessary for blood coagulation.
- Vitamin K deficiency can lead to hemorrhagic disease in newborns.
- Vitamin K is primarily synthesized in the gut by bacteria.
- Newborns are given a Vitamin K intramuscular injection to prevent hemorrhagic disease.
Minerals and Embryonic Development
- Major minerals include calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium.
- The lip and palate typically close during embryonic development between the 6th and 12th week.
- The primary cause of cleft lip or cleft palate is a deficiency in folic acid during embryonic development.
- Folic acid supplements have a risk-reducing effect on nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.
Vitamin Functions and Deficiencies
- Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) is a co-enzyme for several multienzyme complexes and can lead to a disease called Wernicke's encephalopathy when deficient.
- 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.
