Module 2 - nutrition Flashcards
Microcytic hypochromic anemia
Pyridoxine Vit 6
Beriberi
Thiamin B1
Kidney hemorrhage
Choline
Anemia in Infants: Megaloblastic Anemia (abnormal large blood cells)
Folate
Main deficiency syndrome: fatty liver
Choline
Biermer’s disease (pernicious anemia).
Cobalamin B12
Depression, loss of muscle control, and skin irritations
Biotin
Macrocytic anemia, increased cardiovascular disease
Folate
Metabolic Process in the liver to increase serum blood glucose on the presence of 30 day
fasting
Gluconeogenesis
This non-essential amino acid is essential in infants
Histidine
This essential amino acid builds muscle tissue, promotes healing of wounded bone tissue
and skin, lowers high levels of blood sugar.
Leucine
T or F
Cobalamin can be synthesized by microorganisms in the intestinal tract of animals and man,
but the amount available to the human body to supplement the dietary supply is small.
False
Y.L a 47y/o female was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis was referred to you for
dietary planning. Knowing that the patient is undergoing multidrug therapy you suspect that the greatest effect of it would cause deficiency in what vitamin?
Riboflavin
Which among the following symptoms denote vitamin b6 deficiency?
a. Spoon shaped nails,
b. loss of appetite,
c. corkscrew hairs,
d. pellagrous dermatitis
D. pellagrous dermatitis
is required for the normal growth and development of nerve tissue in the fetus, and
increased maternal intake of folate during the reproductive period
Folate
acts as a cofactor for “methyl malonyl mutase”, which breaks down odd-chain fatty acids
Cobalamin B12
acts as a coenzyme in more than 100 chemical reactions related to the metabolism of
proteins and amino acids via transamination. These reactions are required for synthesizing
nonessential amino acids
Pyridoxine B6
critical for ATP production. Specifically, it is needed to synthesize CoA, a coenzyme required
to metabolize glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
Biotin B7
Synthesis of Purine & Pyrimidines
Biotin
