10 - Vitamins & Minerals Flashcards
TPP
Thiamine PyroPhosphate, Converted from Thiamin = B1
is bound Tightly as a Prosthetic Group in several enzymes such as: PDH, a-ketoglutarate DH, Transketolase
2 major roles:
Degradation of a-ketoacids via non-/+oxidative carboxylation
Transfer of 2-carbon fragments from ketose->aldose in transketolization
Macroelement, >100mg/day
Cofactor for Enzymes
Magnesium
Calcium Metabolism
Rickets / Osteomalacia
nuclear hormone for genes involved in
calcium & bone metabolism
Vitamin D
Use / Deficiency
Source of Coenzymes** & **Prosthetic Groups
Organic molecules that body cannot make itself
generally processed by the body into active form
1 vitamin can provide 1+ cofactor
(riboflavin -> FAD +FMN)
can also act more like substitute hormones (Vit D)
Vitamin
Zinc
Zn
Trace Element, 1-100mg/day
Immune Function
Metabolism of alcohol
DNA & proteins
ROS protection
Cl/aP - KisS MyNutz
>100mg/day by adults
7
Cl / Ca / P
K / S / Mg / Na
Essential MACRO elements
minerals
from thiamine (B1) deficiency in diet
TPP = prosthetic group key in carb/AA metabolism
Cross-Over Theorem shows accumalation of:
PDH / transketolase / a-ketoglutarate-DH
often shown in Alcoholics
Neurologic & CV Symptoms
EDEMA & Heart ENLARGEMENT
Beri-Beri
Vitamin D
Use / Deficiency
Calcium Metabolism
Rickets / Osteomalacia
nuclear hormone for genes involved in
calcium & bone metabolism
Folate Antagonist
block regeneration of THF (from B9)
Anti-Cancer / Anti-microbial
Trimethoprim has the HIGHER affinity for
microbial enzyme vs the human enzyme (DHFR)
so it is used for ANTIBACTERIA
Trimethoprim
Methotrexate
Selenite
Se
Ultratrace Elements, <1mg/day
Thyroid Hormone Formation
antioxidant
protein forming
Green Vegetables
Legumes & Peanuts
Meats / Liver
Folic Acid (B9) Sources
Trace Element, 1-100mg/day
not essential!
Dental Fluorosis
Fluoride
F
Cobalamin
B12, Cobalt -> CoEnzyme B12
Isomerization of mm-CoA -> succinyl CoA
conversion o_f homocysteine to Methionine_
Pernicious/Megaloblastic Anemia
Homocysteinuria
CNS Degradation
Macroelement, >100mg/day
Bone + Teeth
Signal transduction/conduction
Blood coagulation
Calcium
Vitamin C
Hydroxylation Rxns
Biosynthesis of Collagen
Anti-oxidant + aids with IRON UPTAKE in gut
SCURVY
Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin E
Use / Deficiency
Lipid Antioxidant
Lipid Peroxidation
- still mysterious*
- thought to involve trapping of lipopohilic free radicals*
Trace Elements
minerals
“Miss Cuff”
MnZn - CuFFe
1mg-100mg / day
5
Mn / Zn
Cu / F / Fe
Macronutrients
Required nutrients for the body
need much more compared to micronutrients
Carbs / Fats / Proteins
Beri-Beri
from thiamine (B1) deficiency in diet
TPP = prosthetic group key in carb/AA metabolism
Cross-Over Theorem shows accumalation of:
PDH / transketolase / a-ketoglutarate-DH
often shown in Alcoholics
Neurologic & CV Symptoms
EDEMA & Heart ENLARGEMENT
Required by Enzymes to assist in Catalysis
*Small* Organic / *Inorganic* Molecules
IONS
(metal ions = Zn2+)
2 types:
Co-Enzymes + Prosthetic groups
Cofactor
Folate will only mask the symptoms of
Cbl (cobalamin b12) deficiency
only relieve the ANEMIA (Cbl is needed to recycle folate)
But it does NOT resolve the NEUROPATHY
Folate for Pernicious Anemia?
General Water-Soluble Vitamin Diet
Meat / Fish / Liver
Thiamine (B1) Soucres
Blood Coagulation Enzymes
Inability to clot blood
formation of gamma-carboxyglutamate residues
later for glycosylation in proteins for blood clotting
Vitamin K
Use / Deficiency
Pyridoxine B6 Sources
Cereals
Meat
Non-Citrus Fruit
