What is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant?

The conversion to an active form of Vitamin D happens in what organ?

Beri-beri is caused by deficiency of:

Water-soluble vitamins.

Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic acid, and Glutamic acids

are examples of amino acids that can be converted to

glucose by the body. These amino acids are called:

Which of the following conditions is associated with a negative nitrogen balance?

What is the effect of Vitamin D to blood calcium levels?

This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.

Lysine and threonine are amino acids that can be degraded directly into Acetyl-Co which is used to synthesize fatty acids and ketoacids. These amino acids are characterized as:

are dietary components, often called vitamins and minerals, which although only required by the body in small amounts, are very crucial in growth and development.

"essential amino acids" are amino acids because the body is incapable of synthesizing them. Among the choices all are essential amino acids EXCEPT

Ketogenic affects our body's energy metabolism by converting ketogenic acids into ketone bodies that enter a specific pathway in the body that yields energy.

Glucogenic is also known as diabetogenic acids.

Dietary fiber (a.k.a. __________) refers to molecules

that cannot be metabolized by the human body due to

absence of the required enzymes.

Which among these is NOT true about Vitamin A

This vitamin B variant is found only in animal products thus vegans may be at higher risk of deficiency

This mineral is the second most abundant in the body after iron

is widely used in public health to prevent

tooth decay, a preventable bacterial disease that can

lead to tooth loss, nutritional problems, and systemic

infections.

is considered an essential trace element that enhances insulin action, thus considered as a good supplement because it can lower blood sugar

It is an essential component of vitamin B12, which

plays a role in red blood cell formation and nerve

function.

Excess dietary fat is deposited as __________ in

adipose tissue

what are the two main forms of vitamin e

Vitamin _ is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial

role in blood clotting, bone health, and calcium

balance.

It is absorbed in the jejunum of the small intestine

through passive diffusion and transported to various

tissues via albumin in the blood.

_______ is the deficiency of niacin, characterized by

3 symptoms; dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia

(3D's).

is important for DNA and RNA synthesis and

preventing neural tube defects in pregnancy.

Also needed for converting homocysteine to

methionine

is a vitamin C deficiency that is characterized by swollen bleeding gums,

joint pain, weakness, and poor wound

healing related to inefficient collagen

formation

Unlike vitamins, our bodies cannot produce minerals so we need to get them from our diet.

Iron is stored as ferritin and hemosiderin, mostly in hepatocytes and macrophages.
