Question

write the types , functionsn and deficiency diseases of vitamins

Answer 1

Answer:

Thiamine (vitamin B1)

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for energy metabolism; important to nerve function.  

• Deficiency Disease: Beriberi is a disease caused by a vitamin B-1 deficiency, also known as thiamine deficiency. There are two types of the disease: wet beriberi and dry beriberi. Wet beriberi affects the heart and circulatory system.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2)  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for energy metabolism; important for normal vision and skin health.  

• Deficiency Disease: Ariboflavinosis is a deficiency disease due to inadequate intake of riboflavin and characterized by sores on the mouth.

Niacin (vitamin B3)  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for energy metabolism; important for nervous system, digestive system, and skin health

• Deficiency Disease: Pellagra includes the triad of dermatitis, dementia, and diarrhea and can result in death. Niacin deficiency can occur through genetic disorders, malabsorptive conditions, and interaction with certain medications.

Pantothenic acid  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for energy metabolism.

• Deficiency Disease: Severe deficiency can cause numbness and burning of the hands and feet, headache, extreme tiredness, irritability, restlessness, sleeping problems, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Biotin  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for energy metabolism.

• Deficiency Disease: Alopecia and scaly erythematous dermatitis distributed around the body orifices, acidemia, aciduria, hearing and vision problems, and developmental delay in children.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for protein metabolism; helps make red blood cells.

• Deficiency Disease: Vitamin B6 deficiency is usually caused by pyridoxine-inactivating drugs (eg, isoniazid), protein-energy undernutrition, malabsorption, alcoholism, or excessive loss. Deficiency can cause peripheral neuropathy, seborrheic dermatitis, glossitis, and cheilosis, and, in adults, depression, confusion, and seizures.

Folic acid  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for making DNA and new cells, especially red blood cells.

• Deficiency Disease: Folate-deficiency anemia is the lack of folic acid in the blood. Folic acid is a B vitamin that helps your body make red blood cells. If you don't have enough red blood cells, you have anemia.

Cobalamin (vitamin B12)  

• Function: Part of an enzyme needed for making new cells; important to nerve function.

• Deficiency Disease: Cobalamin deficiency may result from dietary insufficiency of vitamin B12; disorders of the stomach, small bowel, and pancreas; certain infections; and abnormalities of transport, metabolism, and utilization (see Etiology). Deficiency may be observed in strict vegetarians.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)  

• Function: Antioxidant; part of an enzyme needed for protein metabolism; important for immune system health; aids in iron absorption.

• Deficiency Disease: Scurvy happens when there is a lack of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. The deficiency leads to symptoms of weakness, anemia, gum disease, and skin problems. This is because vitamin C is needed for making collagen, an important component in connective tissues.
