Water Soluble Vitamins blood formation helping an enzyme do a function Fig. 9.1, p. 323 Thiamin (vitamin B1) Structure: pyrimidine + thiazole Coenzyme form: ________ TDP & thiamin diphosphate _________ TPP thiamin pyrophosphate Sources: yeast, pork, legumes, whole and enriched grains, sunflower seeds through processing it loses the vitamin but it breaks with alkaline not stable whole = has vit. B1 solutions, light/heat enriched = all have Vit. B1 Fig. 9.8, p. 338 Functions of B1 1. Energy Transformation TDP (TPP) functions as coenzyme in catalyzing decarboxylation of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate B1, B2, B3 and B5 pyruvate to acetyl CoA (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) α-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA Both of these reactions are important for release of energy from food in formation of ATP 2. NADPH and pentose TDP needed for _____________________ transketolase reaction which forms pentoses Pentoses used in synthesis of nucleic acids for RNA/DNA 3. Nerve Conduction when there is a nerve stimulation, there is a release of Thiamin B1 Role in Kreb’s Cycle Fig. 9.9, p. 341 PDC NUTR 302 PDC Fig. 9.10, p. 342 NUTR 302 if consuming white rice before B1 was broken down but not it is enriched most products B1 Deficiency only happens when you are extremely deficiency Beriberi (means “I can’t, I can’t” – true deficiency syndrome) Dry: muscle weakness and wasting Wet: heart failure with edema Infantile med.main.teikyo-u.ac.jp/.../ image002.jpg http:// www.nutriweb.org.br/ www.macmed.ttuhsc.edu/ n0201/beriberi.jpg Shen/lecture/Nutrition- Pathology-vitamins-photos- 1.1-1.2 mg/day 100-500 mg/day for this disease B1 Deficiency see this is hospitals Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome Thiamin deficiency associated with ________________ alcoholism Decreased intake Increased requirement with liver damage May decrease absorption At risk: _____________________ elderly Increased need with elevated metabolism (i.e. fever, hyperthyroidism) increase metabolism need more thiamin because it is involved with energy production B1 Toxicity Supplementation is quite safe No UL Large doses may be helpful with _________________ MSUD (maple syrup urine disease) Extra Credit: What is MSUD and why do large doses of B1 help this condition? B1 Assessment RBC HMP shunt enzyme (6C -> 5C) Erythrocyte Transketolase Activity Most sensitive measure, if elevated after thiamin addition, indicates deficiency no enzyme activity = low or no thiamin Riboflavin (vitamin B2) Structure: Flavin molecule + ribitol Coenzyme forms: FMN, FAD Sources: __________, milk dairy products, eggs, meat, legumes, enriched grains in the US Sensitive to ________ UV light B2 structure & coenzyme forms Fig. 9.14, p. 347 B2 Functions produce 2 ATP 1.

B6 enzyme working to convert back dependent important for brain to methionine in egg yolk Folate Deficiency Megaloblastic Anemia _____________________________________________ immature red blood cells Due to decreased DNA synthesis and improper cell division along with continued RNA production important for cell division Genesis and maturation of the RBC (left) & RBCs characteristics of microcytic & megaloblastic anemias (right) Fig. 9.38, p. 382 precursor of RBCs sometimes this process doesn't happen low or pale color if you don't have proper heme mature proper RBC no nucleus they haven't matured Folate Deficiency: Toxicity: At Risk: Supplementation may mask Pregnancy neural tube defects _______ B12 deficiency while Birth defects highly permitting neurological correlated with folate damage caused by B12 deficiency deficiency cause ____________________ alcoholism Megadoses may induce Elderly no proper diet seizures in epileptics Phenytoin users UL: 1 mg/d from (anticonvulsant) supplements and fortified less folate absorption foods folic acid Extra credit: What is phenytoin and 1000 microgram or 1 miligram why can it cause folate deficiency? Folate Interactions: Assessment: Vitamin B12: Methyl- Plasma, serum, or RBC folate trap folate Without B12, methyl group Deoxyuridine suppression in N5 methyl THF cannot be test (from dUMP to dTMP) removed get blood, RBCs, look at culture for nucleic acid formation Plasma homocysteine Zinc: concentrations Folate may decrease zinc more general, its not specific because B9, B6, B12 deficiency can all be present absorption Zinc deficiency may decrease folate absorption Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) Structure: Sources: In nature B12 is made by _____________ microbes (ie. in rumen and ileum of some animals), so animal products are the main sources (MFP, egg, milk) if not consuming animals, you have a hard time getting B12 Fig. 9.39, p. 384 B12 Absorption Mechanisms: I. Intrinsic Factor mediated absorption 1) Intrinsic factor (IF, a glycoprotein) is synthesized in the stomach. 2) B12 combines with ____________in R protein stomach and travels to small intestine 3) B12 releases R protein and complexes with IF 4) B12-IF is absorbed in the _____________ ileum through receptor 5) B12 is released once complex is in the enterocyte II. Diffusion Not of importance with normal intakes With large doses, some non-intrinsic factor mediated absorption takes place B12 shots could be helpful for people with stomach problems B12 Absorption Fig. 9.40, p. 385 binds as soon as it gets to stomach enter cells with IF receptor B12 Functions Converts homocysteine to methionine by transfer of methyl group from folate to homocysteine Converts methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA which can be used in ____________________________ energy metabolism __________________________________through nucleic acid synthesis methionine formation and possibly through reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides Resynthesis of methionine from homocysteine Fig. 9.37, p. 378 B12 Deficiency: Megaloblastic Anemia Symptoms: At risk: lack of food sources? Large immature red blood Elderly cells, neuropathy, increased Diseases/Surgery of the mean corpuscular volume ileum can't absorb B12 (MCV) looks at size of RBCs if high = deficiency or B9 or B12 Alcoholic Vegans Usually due to decreased absorption secondary to Stomach surgery recipients part of stomach removed or there is issues lack of IFas opposed to decreased intake, called pernicious anemia specific for IF give them injections instead? B12 Toxicity: Assessment: None known Serum B12 No UL _______________________ Schilling test Used to test B12 tracer compounds absorption/presence of given and sees if it is absorbed IF plasma homocysteine ✽ Often done in conjunction with folate assessment Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) Structures: Coenzyme forms: PL, PM, PN, ______, PLP PMP, PNP Sources: Liver, nuts, bananas, legumes, meat, whole grains, salmon, sirloin steak, white meat chicken also from fortified cereals Pyridoxine Fig 9.42, p. 390 B6 Metabolism in liver Fig. 9.43, p. 392 B6 Functions need PLP/B6 !!!!! 1) Amino acid metabolism ▪ Transamination coenzyme (ie. AST/GOT, ALT/GPT) ▪ Decarboxylation (ie. serotonin production) ▪ Transulfhydration/desulfhydration (ie. methionine to cysteine or cysteine to pyruvate) ▪ Cleavage (ie. serine to glycine in folate metabolism) can lead to anemia = hypochromic anemia = not enough color 2) ______________________ heme formation 3) ______________________ niacin synthesis 18 carbon chain 4) Arachidonic acid production from lineoleate 20 carbon chain with 4 double bonds 5) Glycogenolysis (glycogen phosphorylase) B6 Functions Potential Effects: homocysteine high levels Coronary Heart Disease low levels may play role in etiology Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) beneficial effects of high doses is controversial _____________________________________ carpal tunnel syndrome research needed but high doses seem to decrease symptoms B6 Deficiency Symptoms: Lethargy in adult Seizures in infants ____________________________________________ hypochromic, microcytic anemia Depression At risk: Breastfed infants of mothers with deficiency Elderly poor intake Alcoholics because of liver (conversion happens here) Oral contraceptive users B6 Toxicity: Neuropathy UL: 100 mg/day B6 Assessment: Plasma PLP ___________________________________ transaminase activities Tryptophan load-B6 required to convert to niacin, deficiency leads to build up of xanthurenic acid = not enough B6 look at how much niacin is being synthesized dependent on B6 availability
