Study Notes
Vitamin D and Vitamin E: Key Points
- Vitamin D is obtained from food, fortified foods, supplements, and synthesized in the skin through the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D3 by ultraviolet light.
- The biological functions of vitamin D include maintaining calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood for various bodily functions, including bone mineralization.
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the activation of vitamin D and its effects on blood calcium levels.
- Actions of vitamin D include increasing intestinal calcium transport, stimulating bone breakdown, and increasing calcium retention in the kidneys.
- Vitamin D deficiency can lead to inefficient dietary calcium absorption and improper bone mineralization.
- Vitamin E primarily functions as an antioxidant, with alpha-tocopherol being the only form humans can use.
- Vitamin E is transported to the liver by chylomicrons and is needed to be transported out of the liver by the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein.
- Water-soluble vitamins, such as B and C, are easily lost through urination and need to be replenished often.
- Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant, aids in collagen production, and is important for iron absorption.
- Vitamin C is essential for collagen crosslinking and acts as an antioxidant against reactive oxygen molecules from environmental sources and cellular respiration.
- Vitamin E is lipophilic and found in cell membranes, and its antioxidant function can be restored by vitamin C, which donates an electron back to vitamin E.
- Vitamin E donates an electron to neutralize reactive electron-scavenging molecules, such as free radicals, to maintain an undamaged membrane.
