Q

Function and sources of vit A,D,E,K

A
  1. A: needed for vision, healthy skin and mucous membranes, bone and teeth growth, immune system. Animal sources (retinol): fortified milk, cheese, cream, butter, fortified margarine, eggs, liver. Plant sources (Beta-carotene): leafy, dark green vegetables, dark orange fruits (apricots, cantaloupe) and vegetables (carrots, winter squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkin)
  2. D: needed for proper absorption of calcium: stored in bones. Sources: egg yolks, liver, fatty fish, fortified milk, fortified margarine. When exposed to sunlight, skin can make vit D

Q

explain process of vitamin D synthesis from sunlight

A

When skin is in contact with sunlight, 7-dehydrocholesterol is turned into previt D3 -> D3 (cholecalciferol). in blood, DBP (vit. D binding protein) is converted into DBP-D3 by the help of D3. Liver would help turn DBP-D3 into D3 and eventually 25 OH D3 (calcidiol). In kidey, 25-OH D3 would be converted in 1, 25-OH D3 (calcitriol) active and inactive compound which is 24,25-OH D3.

Calcitriol increases Ca++ transport (intestine) and Ca++ resorption in bone

Q

Antioxidant mechanism of vit E

A
  • Radical lipid or peroxide (LOO) will be neutralized by α-tokoferol (vitamin E)
  • This α-tokoferol will be oxidized and become tocopheroxyl radical
  • This compound then can be neutralized by ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol will be generated again
  • Ascorbyl radical is more stable and easy to excrete through kidney

Q

vitamin c chemical structure

A

ada 4 OH, 1 double bond O

25
function of vitamin c
1. antioxidant - can scavenge free radical directly - synergism work with vit E 2. help iron absorption - vit c reduces free ferric ion (Fe3+) to ferro ion (Fe2+) to make it easy to absorb 3. forming supportive tissue (osteoid, collagen) - vit c help hydroxylation of proline and lysine to hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine which create crosslink to build the tissue 4. hemoglobin metabolism - reconvert met-hemoglobin to hemoglobin
26
hydroxylation of proline and lysine to hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine is aided by ...
vit c
27
absorption of vit c mechanism
1. in intestine, AA can be oxidized to DHAA 2. AA is absorbed to enterocyte through SLC23A1 (SVCT 1) transporter, while DHAA through glucose transporter (GLUT) 3. In enterocyte, DHAA can be reduced again to AA 4. AA can be transported in blood stream
28
vitamin c ingestion
ingestion -> intestine -> distributed throughout all organs -> plasma -> intestinal and renal epithelium
29
in collagen synthesis, AA is required to change ... and ... to ... and ....
proline and lysine hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. both residues in protein structure help the collagen strings formation
30
vitamin c and vitamin e synergism as antioxidant
1. alpha tocopherol will turn radical lipid into lipid. 2. alpha tocopherol radical will be converted back into alpha tocopherol by the help of ascorbate -> DHA
31
lack of vit c causes
scurvy

what's the function of B6?
helps carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism helps nerve system
37
what's the function of B12 (cobalamin)?
- produces red blood cells, nerve, and synthesizing DNA - homocysteine metabolism
38
isocitrate is converted to alpha ketoglutarate by what vitamin?

39
active form of B1?
thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), it has phosphate functional group
40
in which processes are TPP used?
1. ribose 5-phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. it accompanies transketolase 2. pyruvate to acetyl coA. it accompanies pyruvate dehydrogenase 3. in krebs(citric acid) cycle, from alpha ketoglutarate to succinyl coA. it accompanies alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase 4. branched chain alpha ketoacids to branched chain acyl coA in branched amino acid catabolic pathway. it accompanies BCKDH (branched chain alpha keto acid dehydrogenase)
