🗑
show Ca, P, Mg, Na, Cl, K  
🗑
show Fe, I, Zn, Se, Cu  
🗑
show metabolic rate drops, high levels of TSH cause goiter formation - hyperplasia due to thyroid attempt to put out more T3 and T4, goiter during pregnancy leads to birth defects - cretinism  
🗑
show bind to nuclear receptors, form transcription factors which bind to response elements in promoter regions of DNA - proteins responsible for increased metabolic rate and fetal development  
🗑
What is the role of vitamin A?   show
🗑
What are the animal sources of vit A?   show

🗑
Where are retinols metabolized?   show
🗑
What happens when retinols reach the liver?   show
🗑
show retinyl palmitate can be stored in stellate or parenchymal cells. low blood [retinol] results in removal of ester and transported by RBP and TTR to the eye  
🗑
show transported out as VLDL and converted to LDL in the bloodstream to be stored in adipose tissue  
🗑

🗑
show differentiation, growth (bones), fertility (sperm), fetal development  
🗑
What happens with retinoic acid deficiency?   show
🗑
show sunshine (skin), egg, milk, salmon, liver, beef, veal, fortified foods  
🗑
show cholesterol converted to 7-dehydrocholesterol in sebaceous glands. UVB radiation converts to lumisterol (sloughed off from skin) and previtamin D3. Thermal isomerization produces cholecalciferol (vit D3) and UVB radiation gives off tachysterol (sloughed).  
🗑
show latitude, skin exposure, air pollution, skin pigment  
🗑
show diffuses through skin to blood, 60% bound to DBP, deposited in adipose/muscle and then goes to liver  
🗑
show absorbed from small intestine lumen through BBM, packaged into chylomicrons (makes up 40% of circulating D3), transported through BLM to liver  
🗑
show cholecalciferol is hydoxylated in liver mito. by 25-hydroxylase to calcidiol (25-OH D3) and transported to the blood via DBP. In kidney mito. hydroxylated by 1-hydroxylase to calcitriol. Carried to blood via DBP to bones, kidney and intestines.  
🗑
What is the role of calcitriol?   show
🗑
show Low Ca stimulates secretion of PTH, PTH stimulates kidneys to ^ Ca absorption & stimulates calcitriol synth. Calcitriol stimulates Ca absorption in GI. PTH and calcitriol stim. bone resorption.  
🗑

🗑

🗑
show low intake of Ca leads to decreased bone mass (density) but normal mineralization. Fractures are an issue.  
🗑

🗑
What are the main roles of vitamin D?   show
🗑
