nutrient to nutrient interactions Flashcards
zincs relationship with A
zinc makes retinol binding protein (RBP)
RBP moves A from liver storage to tissues for use
zinc also needed to convert retinol to retinal
if vit A deficiency, check which mineral
zinc - they may have A but not be able to use it
A modulates metabolism of what mineral
iron metabolism
what effect does A have on RBC formation
low A = defective RBC formation = issues with iron storage release
what two nutrients should you treat iron deficiency anaemia with for best results
iron and A
which 4 micronutrients are cofactors for thiamin metabolism
manganese
zinc
magnesium
EFAs
Which 4 nutrients is riboflavin involved in the metabolism of
Folate
B6
K
B3
Which 4 micronutrients may bind to riboflavin and reduce it’s bioavailability
Copper
Zinc
B3
C
which 3 micronutrients are cofactors for synthesis of niacin from tryptophan
B6, B2 iron
metabolism of pyridoxine is strictly dependant on
riboflavin
D is essential for absorption of which 2 minerals
calcium
phosphate
what effect does C have on E
rejuvenates oxidised E
what relationship does selenium have with E
selenium-dependant enzyme glutathione peroxidase rejuvenates oxidised E
large doses of which 2 bits may inhibit K absorption
A & E
What relationship does K have with D
K acts as shuttle to transport D to bones for ^ calcium absorption - prevents calcification in rest of body
