confabulation
exaggerated lying story
with wernicke-korsakoff
hemorrhagic lesion - maxillary bodies and paramedian gray mater
dry and wet beriberi
thiamine - B1 deficiency
dry - dilated cardiomyopathy
wet - polyneuropathy
pathways with B1 cofactor
oxidative carboxylation a-ketoacids
transketolase in HMP shunt
measure of B1 deficiency
transketolase activity in RBCs
riboflavin
vit B2
FAD and FMN
niacin
vit B3
NAD and NADP
reduction and oxidation reactions
hartnup disease
get B3 deficiency
inadequate tryptophan absorption in gut and renal tubules
B3 deficiency in carcinoid
because tryptophan being used to synthesize serotonin instead of niacin
function of B5
panthenoic acid - CoA
for fatty acid synthesis
