Vitamins Eleanor D. Schlenker Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
2.
Vitamins
Criteria used to define a compound as a vitamin: It must be an organic dietary substance that is not an energy-producing carbohydrate, fat, or protein It is needed in very small quantities to perform a particular metabolic function or prevent an associated deficiency disease It cannot be manufactured by the body and therefore must be supplied in food Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 2
3.
Vitamins: Basic Concepts
As our understanding of vitamins has expanded, the following important concepts have emerged: Individual vitamins are multifunctional One vitamin cannot substitute for another vitamin Vitamins work together in carrying out body functions Vitamins function best when all are present in the appropriate proportions Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 3
4.
Classification of Vitamins
Vitamins have been grouped according to their solubility in either fat or water Fat-soluble vitamins • A, D, E, and K • Closely associated with body lipids and are easily stored Water-soluble vitamins • Vitamin C and the B-complex family • Easily absorbed and transported • Cannot be stored except in the general sense of tissue saturation Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 4
5.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins Vitamin A
Generic name for a group of compounds having similar biologic activity: retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 5
6.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins –
Cont’d There are two dietary forms of vitamin A: 1. Preformed vitamin A (retinol) • Natural form of vitamin A found only in animal foods and usually associated with fat 2. Provitamin A (beta-carotene) • Plants cannot synthesize vitamin A but instead produce a family of compounds called carotenoids • Beta-carotene, converted to vitamin A in the body, provides about 21% of the total vitamin A intake in the United States • Poor conversion of carotenoids to vitamin A may contribute to vitamin A deficiency in developing countries where persons depend on plant sources Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 6
7.
Absorption of Vitamin
A Various materials are needed for the absorption of vitamin A or beta-carotene: Bile salts Pancreatic lipase Dietary fat Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 7
8.
Conversion of Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene can be absorbed and used by the body in its original form or be converted to vitamin A Carotenoids are important both as vitamin A precursors and as phytochemicals Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 8
9.
Transport and Storage
of Vitamin A The route of absorption of both vitamin A and the carotenoids parallels that of fat The liver contains up to 85% of the body’s total supply of Vitamin A A prophylactic dose of vitamin A every 6 months prevents deficiency in developing countries Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 9
10.
Functions of Vitamin
A Visual adaptation to light and darkness Generalized actions that affect the integrity of: Body coverings and linings (epithelial tissues) Growth Immune response Reproductive function Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 10
11.
Vitamin A Deficiency
Vision Normal rhodopsin cannot be made and the rods and cones of the retina become increasingly sensitive to changes in light, causing night blindness Reversed with retinol injection Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 11
12.
Vitamin A Deficiency
– Cont’d Cell differentiation Keratinization: dry and flat cells • Eye—xerophthalmia and blindness • Respiratory tract—dryness and loss of cilia • Gastrointestinal tract—dryness, poor digestion, and absorption • Skin—dry and scaly, follicular hyperkeratosis • Tooth formation—ameloblasts do not develop Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 12
13.
Vitamin A Deficiency
– Cont’d Growth Essential for growth of bones and soft tissues Controls protein synthesis and mitosis Excessive intakes also cause poor bone health Reproduction Normal sexual maturation and function Gene expression and fetal development Immunity Lack of epithelial and mucosal barrier Direct effect on cell-mediated and antibody-mediated immunity Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 13
14.
Vitamin A Requirement Influencing
Factors A number of variables can modify the vitamin A needs of a given individual: Liver stores Intake of preformed versus provitamin A Illness and infection Gastrointestinal or hepatic defects Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 14
15.
Vitamin A Requirement
– Cont’d Causes of Vitamin A Deficiency Inadequate dietary intake Poor food selection and fast food Poor absorption or metabolism Lack of bile or dietary fat Inadequate conversion of beta-carotene Liver or intestinal disease High intake of alcohol Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 15
16.
Vitamin A Requirement
– Cont’d Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) For vitamin A the RDA is the amount required to maintain optimum liver stores The RDA for men ages 19 and over is set at 900 µg The RDA for women of this age is 700 µg The RDA increases to 770 µg in pregnancy and 1300 µg in lactation Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 16
17.
Vitamin A Toxicity

Food Sources of
Vitamin A Animal sources: Liver, milk, cheese, butter, egg yolk, and fish Nonanimal products: Margarine, ready-to-eat cereals, and cereal bars are being fortified with vitamin A Deep yellow, orange, red, and dark green vegetables and fruits, contain carotenoid precursors of vitamin A Carotenoids are more available from cooked vegetables Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 18
19.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins Vitamin D
A prohormone and in its active form functions as a hormone Chemically, vitamin D is a sterol and its precursor found in human skin is the lipid molecule 7-dehydrocholesterol Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 19
20.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins –
Cont’d Vitamin D – Cont’d Two forms: 1. Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) • Formed by irradiating ergosterol found in ergot (a fungus growing on rye and other cereal grains) and yeast 2. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) • Formed by the action of ultraviolet light from the sun on the 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin • Found naturally in fish liver oils Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 20
21.
Vitamin D Absorption Absorbed
in the small intestine along with fat Malabsorption diseases, such as celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, and Crohn’s disease or pancreatic insufficiency, hinder vitamin D absorption Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 21
22.
Vitamin D –
Cont’d Active Hormone Synthesis 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] has the chemical name of calcitriol Calcitriol is produced by the combined action of the skin, liver, and kidneys, an overall process referred to as the vitamin D endocrine system Vitamin D3 is used and metabolized in the same way whether obtained from skin synthesis or from food Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 22
23.
Functions of Vitamin
D Hormone Associated with calcium and phosphorus metabolism and their absorption and deposition in bone tissue Acts on many tissues and functions throughout the body Cell growth Muscle strength Immune function Insulin levels Hypertension and cardiovascular disease Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 23
24.
Vitamin D Deficiency Bone
Disease Without sufficient vitamin D, the body cannot absorb the calcium needed to build normal bones Children develop rickets Adults develop osteomalacia Osteoporosis has different causes Breastfed infants need vitamin D supplements Role in renal osteodystrophy Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 24
25.
Vitamin D Requirements Dietary
Reference Intake Needs are affected by sun exposure and skin synthesis Vitamin D has an Adequate Intake (AI), not an RDA Persons between 6 months and 50 years of age need 5 µg (200 IU) Copyright © 2011, 2007 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 25
26.
Vitamin D Requirements
