Study Notes
RDA of Vitamins and Minerals
- Vitamin C RDA: 40-50 mg
- Iodine RDA: 100-150 ug
Diagnosis of Mental Retardation
- A patient with mental retardation, vascular defects, seizures, and brittle hair may have Wilson's disease.
Dietary Sources of Selenium
- Meat and sea food
Effect of Fluoride on Teeth
- Prevents tooth decay by promoting enamel remineralization
Enzyme Role in Vitamin C Synthesis
- Gluconolactone oxidase enzyme is required for the synthesis of Vitamin C.
Deficiency of Fluorine
- Dental caries is a possible result.
Manganese Cofactor
- Manganese is a cofactor for superoxide dismutase.
Copper Plasma Concentration
- Normal plasma copper concentration is 100-200 mg/dL.
Protocollagen Hydroxylation Deficiency
- A deficiency in Vitamin C can destroy the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues of protocollagen.
Wilson's Disease
- In Wilson's disease, copper fails to be excreted in the bile. Copper levels in plasma may DECREASE. Ceruloplasmin level is INCREASED. Intestinal absorption of copper is INCREASED.
Gusten Protein Components
- Gusten, a protein for taste sensation, contains Zinc.
Menkes Disease
- Menkes disease is an X-linked disease. High levels of plasma copper and low levels of hepatic copper, and low levels of ceruloplasmin are characteristic.
Molybdenum Enzyme Cofactor
- Molybdenum is a cofactor for xanthine oxidase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase.
Cobalt Deficiency Disease
- Pernicious anemia is associated with cobalt deficiency.
Iodine's Hormone Role
- Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
Molybdenum Disease
- Molybdenosis may present with symptoms, but not uric acid accumulation.
Zinc Related Disease
- Acrodermatitis enteropathica is associated with copper deficiency.
Keshan Disease
- Keshan disease is caused by selenium deficiency.
