Exam 2 Flashcards
water-soluble vitamins
B, C
fat-soluble vitamins
A, D, E, K
provitamins
consumed and activated in the body
bioavailability
rate which nutrients are absorbed and used
B vitamins coenzyme
energy metabolism
B1 (thiamin)
- function
change CHO to energy
B1 deficiency
- occurs in malnourished indi, and alcoholics
- BeriBeri disease
BeriBeri Dry vs Wet
dry- affects nrvs syst
wet - CV system, swelling
B1 destruction
prolonged cooking- breakdown CHO
B2 (riboflavin)
function
growth and RBC production
destruction of B2
UV light
B3 (Niacin) deficiency
pellagra
pellagra ( niacin b3 deficiency)
4ds- dementia, diarrhea, dermatitis, death
B5 Panthothenic
destroyed by freexing
found in chicken and beef
B6 pyridoxine
energy and protein metabolism
Folate B9 function
converts B12 to coenzyme form
synthesizes DNA and RBC
Folate recommendations
pregnant women reqiure 200ug/d more than adults 400ug/day
folate deficiency
macrocytic anemia
macrocytic anemia (folate)
megastastic anemia
folate toxicty
yes, leads to b12 deficency
folate destroyed by…
head and oxygen
B12 function
synthesiszes DNA for cell growth and nerve protection
- activates folate
B12 digestion/absotption
stomach- HCL and pepsin realised - intrinsic factor secreted,
small intestine- intrinsic factor binds with b12- illieum major b12 absorption site
Deficiency of B12
prenecious anemia- large RBC and neuro symptoms
