Metabolism Pathways
Vitamin metabolism and its disorders
Vitamin metabolism is nothing but a series of chemical reactions and metabolic pathways which are carried in vitamins for the energy transformation form one state to another for the survival of living organisms. Vitamins are generally found in the diet. Vitamins are very essential for carrying the metabolic function of the body. To maintain steady rate of digestion, breathing and blood regulation, our body requires fast metabolism rate. Our body needs minimum vitamins to perform digestion, breathing and blood regulation functions. If the food intake doesn’t provide the required vitamins then the body basal metabolic rate decreases and slow downs the burning of calories which in turn increases more fat and results in more weight gain and causes imbalance body rhythm. The presence of vitamins can be in fat-soluble form or in water-soluble for easy transformation of energy to the body cells.
Vitamins play a crucial role in helping the growth and development of muticellular organisms (organisms having more than one cell).These vitamins are useful in building the skin, muscle and bone. If any vitamin deficiency occurs during the growth may leads to permanent damage to the growth. If the development of organism is completed then these vitamins remains in the body cell and functions for the maintenance of tissues, cells and organs
Some of the vitamins are obtained by food and some of them were obtained by the microorganisms. Generally vitamin k is produced in the intestine by the microorganisms called gut flora. And vitamin D is produced by the synthesis of ultraviolet rays of sunlight by skin.
The following vitamins are very essential for carrying multi-functions and causing chemical reactions for metabolism.
Vitamin A: This vitamin is also called as riboflavin. It is found in fruits, vegetables, cheese, milk products and meat. It is useful in increasing metabolism rate and makes the thyroid to work effectively..
Vitamin B: vitamin B is commonly resent in food the supplements like we take. Vitamin B helps in boosting the metabolism along with healthy skin. Vitamin B12 helps in giving stronger immune system.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is mostly present in lemons, broccoli, brussel sprouts, blackcurrants, cabbage, organges and strawberries. Vitamin C is very helpful in increasing the glucose rate in the body.
Vitamin Metabolism disorder: Night blindness, Avitominosis, pellagra, beriberi, scury, rickets and megaboblastic anemia are the disease caused due to vitamin metabolism disorder.
