Function of Vitamin D
Vitamin A deficiency
1 Impaired night vision (night blindness)
2 Dried skin and mucous membranes fail to secrete mucuscausing
(aDrying and hardening of the cornea2 )Severe ndash keratomalacia (total blindness)
b) Drying and hardening of salivary glands susceptible toinfection loss of appetitec) Changes in GI tract lining causing diarrhea
β-carotene is an antioxidant which maydecrease the risk of CVD and lung cancer
Vitamin DVitamin D
bullCa amp P absorption utilization building bonemass amp preventing bone loss
bullSkeletal integrity bullDeficiency rickets (malformation of bones)
Vitamin D raises the blood concentration of Ca by1Stimulating absorption of Ca and P from intestine
(synthesis of calcium binding protein)2Withdrawing Ca from bones into blood for use in
other parts of the body3Stimulating Ca retention by kidneys
Vitamin D Deficiency
Rickets (in children)Teeth Slow eruption not well formed tendency to decay
Blood Decreased Ca andor PBone Poor calcification and retarded growth deformities of
ribs enlargement of ends of long bones
Osteomalacia (in adults)BoneSoftening of bones bone fracture deformities of spineBlood Decreased Ca andor P levels
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is essential for synthesis of severalproteins needed for blood coagulation orclotting
bullDeficiency is rare could be caused byconditions that interfere with absorption offat or liver and gall bladder disease
bullDeficiency results in ldquoHemorrhagicDiseaserdquo
bullVitamin K sources ndashMade by intestinal bacteria
ndashFood sources green leafy vegetablescabbage milk liver
Prolonged use of Sulfa drugs and antibiotic usemay cause vitamin K deficiency

Vitamin E
The most active form of vitamin E a-tocopherol is a 6-hydroxychroman derivative
Vitamin E
Vitamin E acts as an ldquoantioxidantrdquo It protectsvitamin A and polyunsaturated fatty acids fromoxidation
bullAntioxidant compound that protects others fromoxidation by being oxidize itself
ndashOne of the most important organs where vitamin Eexerts its antioxidant effect in lungs where exposureto O2 is maximal protects RBC and cells of lungsitself
ndashVitamin E is also protective against strong oxidizingagents like ozone and nitrogen dioxide ndash airpollutants These cause peroxidation of cellmembrane lipids

Rickets (in children)Teeth Slow eruption not well formed tendency to decay
Blood Decreased Ca andor PBone Poor calcification and retarded growth deformities of
ribs enlargement of ends of long bones
Osteomalacia (in adults)BoneSoftening of bones bone fracture deformities of spineBlood Decreased Ca andor P levels
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is essential for synthesis of severalproteins needed for blood coagulation orclotting
bullDeficiency is rare could be caused byconditions that interfere with absorption offat or liver and gall bladder disease
bullDeficiency results in ldquoHemorrhagicDiseaserdquo
bullVitamin K sources ndashMade by intestinal bacteria
ndashFood sources green leafy vegetablescabbage milk liver
Prolonged use of Sulfa drugs and antibiotic usemay cause vitamin K deficiency

Vitamin E
The most active form of vitamin E a-tocopherol is a 6-hydroxychroman derivative
Vitamin E
Vitamin E acts as an ldquoantioxidantrdquo It protectsvitamin A and polyunsaturated fatty acids fromoxidation
bullAntioxidant compound that protects others fromoxidation by being oxidize itself
ndashOne of the most important organs where vitamin Eexerts its antioxidant effect in lungs where exposureto O2 is maximal protects RBC and cells of lungsitself
