Study Notes
Vitamin Deficiencies and Their Effects
- Vitamin A is essential for the formation of Rhodopsin, a light receptor protein crucial for vision.
- Vitamin B6 is vital for transamination reactions, which are important in amino acid metabolism.
- Deficiency of Vitamin E results in Creatinuria, indicating its role in metabolic processes.
- Increased protein intake raises the dietary requirement for multiple vitamins, including Thiamine, Folic Acid, and Nicotinic Acid.
Key Vitamins and Conditions
- Biotin is necessary for carboxylation reactions, affecting fatty acid synthesis and energy production.
- Folic Acid deficiency leads to Megaloblastic anaemia, characterized by ineffective red blood cell production.
- Thiamine deficiency can cause Beriberi, which affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
- Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) deficiency can result in Hypochromic microcytic anaemia, associated with inadequate hemoglobin production.
Enzyme Activity and Nutrient Deficiency
- Thiamine deficiency negatively impacts Transketolase activity, a key enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism.
Symptoms of Nutritional Deficiencies
- Pellagra is manifested by three key symptoms: Diarrhea, Dermatitis, and Dementia, often related to Niacin (Vitamin B3) deficiency.
Sources of Vitamins
- Soybeans are recognized as the richest source of Vitamin K2, important for blood coagulation and bone health.
