what has activity of vitamin A?   show
🗑
Retinoids and carotenoids are transported from the intestine in   show
🗑
show retinol  
🗑
vitamin A form that circulates in blood   show
🗑
show retinal  
🗑
show retinoic acid  
🗑
show retinal (but no converting back!)  
🗑
Carotenoids that are not converted to vitamin A may act as   show

🗑
show transform the energy from light into a nerve impulse that is sent to the brain (interprets as vision)  
🗑
rhodopsin embedded in ____ cells   show
🗑
show retinoic acid enters nucleus, binds to specific protein receptors -RA receptor binds to regulatory region on DNA --> alters level of mRNA produced  
🗑
show growth and development, embryogenesis and the IMMUNE system  
🗑
vitamin A deficiency caused by   show
🗑
show liver, fatty fish, fish oils and egg yolks  
🗑
Vitamin D is important for.....   show
🗑
show parathyroid gland releases parathyroid hormone (PTH) --> kidney to activate enzymes to convert 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to active form, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3  
🗑
show -increase calcium transport proteins in intestines (move Ca from intestine to body) -in bones, stimulate release of Ca by bone breakdown -in kidney, increase amount of Ca retained by kidneys and put back into the blood
