bullVitamins are essential for life bullVitamins are needed in small amounts

bullVitamins do not provide energy bullVitamins have to be supplied by foods

History1048708 Purified diets of carbohydrate protein fat

minerals and water were not capable ofnormal growth

1048708 ldquoAccessory growth factorsrdquo1048708 Casimir Funk a Polish biochemist isolated anantiberberi substance from rice polishings1048708 Named it vitamine1048708 An amine1048708 Vital for life

Classification of Vitamins

Classified according to solubility mdashDetermines site in body were they function

bullBody tissues watery or fatty (oily) mdashFluids outsideinside body cells = waterbased

mdashCell membranes (layers)nerve tissues= fatty substances

bullVitamins that function in the watery areas =water-soluble vitamins

bullVitamins that function in fatty tissues= fat-soluble vitamins

Fat versus water soluble vitamins

Fat-soluble vitamins bullDissolve in fat

bullNeed fat for absorption amp transport bullCan be stored in body liver adipose tissue

Water-soluble vitamins bullDissolve in water

bullAre easily absorbed and excreted (via urine) bullAre not easily stored

Fat soluble vitamins bullVitamin A = retinol

bullVitamin D3= cholecalciferol

bullVitamin E = α-tocopherol

bullVitamin K1= phylloquinone

d

Water soluble vitamins bullB-group

mdashB1 = thiamin mdashB2 = riboflavin

mdashNiacin = nicotinamide= nicotinic acid = B3

mdashPantothenic acid = B5 mdashB6 = pyridoxine

mdashBiotin = vitamin B8 = vitamin H mdashFolic acid = folate = B11

mdashB12 = cobalamin bullVitamin C = ascorbic acid

Function bullEssential for many processes in body

bullVitamins play a role in digestion amputilization of

mdashProtein mdashFat

mdashCarbohydrates bullVitamins are components of enzymes

Some vitamins can besynthesised by body itself1048708 vitamin Abull β-carotene

mdashβ-carotene = pro-vitamin A = vitamin Aprecursor (fore-runner)

bullFrom cholesterol 1048708 vitamin D mdashIn skin under influence of sunlight

mdashDaily 5-10 minutes bullBacterial flora in GI-tract 1048708 vitamin K

Vitamin A

bullGrowth amp repair of body tissues bullBone formation

bullNormal vision bullImmune function

bullDeficiency eye diseases leading to blindness

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

2-methyl-14-naphthoquinone structure

phylloquinone (vitamin K 1 ) and menaquinones (vitamin K 2 )

Menadione formerly known as vitamin K 3

Vitamin K

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

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

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
