...Niacin-zinc interaction Vitamin B3 (Niacin), which is also known as nicotinic acid (NA) and nicotinamide in general, is considered as major antioxidant since it influences multiple pathways tied to both cellular survival and cellular death. Dietary nicotinic acid is rapidly absorbed through intestine and gets converted to nicotinamide in the liver or through the hydrolysis of NAD+. Vannucchi et al. (1986) demonstrated the interaction between niacin, vitamin B6 and zinc in rats receiving ethanol with zinc repletion resulting in activation of niacin metabolism. These interactions were further confirmed in alcoholic pellagra patients (Vannucchi et al., 1989). The researchers also indicated the possibility of obtaining therapeutic benefits by...

...vitamins so that our bodies do not develop a chronic disease later in life. There are two types of vitamins; water-soluble and fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins simply mean that it has the ability to dissolve in water and fat-soluble dissolves in fat. After vitamins have been dissolved in water or fat, the body can then absorb, transport, and use the vitamins. The following is a list of vitamins relative to their classification. Water-Soluble * B Vitamins- Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Biotin, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B6 Fat-Soluble * Vitamin A * Vitamin D * Vitamin E * Vitamin K Vitamins Are Important to Daily Diet Vitamins are very important to our daily nutrient intake. The carbohydrates, fat, and protein that we eat is what contain the energy our body needs to function. Our body uses energy in the form of ATP. Vitamins are important in converting the energy we eat in carbohydrates, fat, and protein into ATP. More precisely, the B vitamins of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and biotin are the vitamins used to convert the energy. All of the vitamins are essential to curing deficiency disease among other important roles. For instance, Wiley Plus says “vitamin A is needed for vision, vitamin K is needed for blood clotting, and vitamin C is needed to synthesize connective tissue. Many body processes require the presence of more than one vitamin” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006, ch. 8.1). Fat-Soluble Vitamins Fat-soluble vitamins as...

...Water Soluble Vitamins and the Bodily Functions They Promote Vitamins and mineral supplements are items that most people would think are good for their bodies. Unfortunately, this is only a half truth. There are many people that are not aware of the full ramifications of vitamins, minerals, and other non-energy yielding nutrients. You need vitamins and minerals, but in excess they can be poison. Vitamin literally means “life, containing nitrogen.” (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 321). The first vitamins contained nitrogen, however vitamins that do not contain nitrogen are just as important to life. Vitamins, as well as minerals, are very important to living beings because they are the substances which assist in the metabolism of energy-yielding nutrients or the development of bodily structures. In the absence of vitamins, there is a wide variety of symptoms that can occur. These things are including, but not limited to, blindness, dementia, and the improper development of bodily structures. The assistance that is provided by vitamins is of high importance, but that is not the only function of vitamins. Vitamins prevent deficiency symptoms, but if the proper dosage is taken they also help your body perform optimally. Your bodily system stays healthy as a result. (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 322) Vitamins are not like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. First of all, vitamins do not provide any energy to the body. (Rolfes, Pinna, Whitney 322) Vitamins are also individual...

...Fat and Water-Soluble Vitamins Carolyn Johnson SCI/241 February 27, 2014 Anna Brashier Fat and Water-Soluble Vitamins Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential in the diet in small amounts to promote and regulate body processes necessary for growth, reproduction, and health maintenance. Vitamins are classified based on solubility, some are soluble in water known as water-soluble vitamins, while others are soluble in fat known as fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamins promote and regulate the body activities. Each vitamin has at least one important function. Some are needed for vision health, blood clotting, and bone health, some vitamins are needed for organ health and system function. (Grosvenor, 2012, Chapter 7). Some vitamins have coenzymes and few others function as an antioxidants. (Grosvenor, 2012, Chapter 7). Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K and are found along with fats in foods. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat, these vitamins can be stored in the liver and in fatty tissues. High nutrient sources for vitamin A can be found in Carrots, squash, apricots, and other orange and yellow vegetables. High nutrient sources of vitamin D: sunlight, liver, egg yolks, and oily fish such as salmon naturally have vitamin D. Vitamin D fortified foods are milk, margarine, some yogurts, cheese, and cereals. Vitamin E is found in nuts, seeds, canola oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and leafy green vegetables like spinach, mustard greens, and wheat germ...

...Vitamins are components that are organic in the foods we eat in small amounts that are needed to help promote and regulate our bodies so that we can grow, reproduce, and maintain our health. The body only requires just a tiny amount of vitamins. If our bodies do not have enough on vitamins then we suffer from deficiency which can be harmful to the body, but once we fuel our bodies with the right amount of vitamins that it needs, the symptoms are resolved. Vitamins has be appointed to two different groups depending on how the vitamins are being stored within the human body. The two categories in which the vitamins are assigned to are fat or water depending on the solubility. If the vitamins can break down in fat then the vitamins will be fat-soluble and if they can dissolve in water then the vitamins are water soluble. “This chemical characteristic allows generalizations to be made about how the vitamins are absorbed, transported, excreted, and stored in the body.” (Wiley, 2012). When the vitamins are able to dissolve in either water or fat then they are able to be transported within the body and put to use in the body. Vitamins are alphabetically named by which order they were first identified. Water soluble vitamins consist of the B vitamins as well as the Vitamin C and the fat soluble vitamins consist of A, D, E, and K vitamins. If we eat a healthy well balanced diet we will normally get all the vitamins we need because just about all the foods we eat contain vitamins, but if...

...1. What are the nutrients found in bread? QUICK ANSWER: Some of the nutrients found in bread include protein, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, iron and calcium. The amount of nutrients differ with the type of bread consumed, with whole wheat and grain bread having higher amounts of nutrients. Wheat is a component of all types of bread, even white bread. Nutrients commonly found in larger quantities of wheat include B vitamins such as riboflavin and thiamine. One hundred grams of bread can contain approximately 15 percent of calcium and 30 percent of thiamine toward a human's nutritional needs in their diet. A person should eat bread daily — along with other grains — as part of a balanced diet. NUTRITIONAL PROPERTIES OF BREAD Bread supplies a significant portion of the nutrients required for growth, maintenance of health and well-being. It is an excellent source of proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibre and complex carbohydrates. It is also low in fat and cholesterol. Bread is quite bulky so it takes longer to digest and is therefore more satisfying and less fattening than the fats, sugars and alcohols commonly consumed in excess. All breads are nutritious, and the differences between them in nutritional value are not significant if we eat a balanced diet. Chemical Composition of Wheat The composition of the dry matter of wheat varies widely depending on soil, climate and genetic variations between wheat types. Wheat in New Zealand has a protein content that ranges on average...
