what are 2 active forms of vit b2?
Active forms: flavin mononucleotide (FMN),
flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
sources of vit b2?
Sources: meat, fish, eggs, milk, green vegetables, yeast[
vit b2 transport in blood?
Transport in blood: via albumin and immunoglobulins
resorption of vit b2?
Resorption: flavoproteins are cleaved into riboflavin in the intestine
FAD and FMN are cofactors for enzymes that are involved in what reactions?
in redox reactions (chemical reactions in which electrons are transferred from one substance to another).
what are 2 redox reactions?
Succinate dehydrogenase (TCA cycle)
FAD is part of glutathione reductase (GR) in erythrocytes: NADPH binds to GR → reduction of FAD to FADH- → FADH- breaks disulfide bond in GSSG → GSR can be reduced
FAD is part of …… in erythrocytes.
glutathione reductase (GR)
FAD is part of glutathione reductase (GR) in …
erythrocytes

manifestation of vit b2 def?
Corneal vascularization
Cheilitis, glossitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis
Normocytic normochromic anemia
Seborrheic dermatitis
2 ways to diagnose vit b2 def?
Erythrocyte glutathione reductase assay: identifies subtle deficiencies
Erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient: the activity coefficient (AC) of glutathione reductase is measured in the presence and absence of FAD
