This document discusses fat soluble vitamins, including Vitamins A, D, E, and K. It provides details on the chemical structure, absorption, transport, functions, sources, and requirements of each vitamin. The key roles of Vitamin A are in vision and tissue growth/differentiation. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium and phosphate to support bone mineralization. Vitamins E and K act as antioxidants and are necessary for blood clotting, respectively. A diet containing foods like fish liver, eggs, green vegetables, and plant oils can provide adequate amounts of these essential fat soluble vitamins.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Vitamins
• Vitamins may be defined as organic compounds
occurring in small quantities in different natural
foods and necessary for growth and maintenance
of good health in human beings and in
experimental animals.
• Vitamins are essential food factors, which are
required for the proper utilization of the proximate
principles of food like carbohydrates, lipids and
proteins.
• All vitamins are usually available in an ordinary
Indian diet.
3. • The vitamins are mainly classified
into two:
1. The fat soluble vitamins include A,
D, E, K.
2. The water soluble vitamins include
B complex and C.
4. Comparison of two types of vitamin
Fat soluble vitamins Water soluble vitamins
Solubility in fat Soluble Not soluble
Water solubility Not soluble Soluble
Absorption Along with lipids Absorption simple (except
Requires bile salts vitamin B12)
Carrier proteins Present No carrier proteins (except
vitamin B12)
Storage Stored in liver No storage (except vitamin
B12)
Deficiency Manifests only when stores Manifests rapidly as there
are depleted is no storage (except
vitamin B12)
Toxicity Hypervitaminosis may Unlikely, since excess is
result excreated
Major vitamins A, D, E and K B and C
5. Vitamin A
1. Chemistry:
• Vitamin A is fat soluble vitamin. The active form is
present only in animal tissues.
• The pro-vitamin, beta-carotene is present in plant
tissues. One molecule of beta-carotene can
theoretically give rise to two molecules of vitamin
A.
• Vitamin A has a beta-ionone (cyclohexenyl) ring
system.
• Three different compounds with vitamin A activity
are retinol (vitamin A alcohol), retinal (vitamin A
aldehyde) and retinoic acid.
6.
7. • The retinal may be reduced to retinol by retinal
reductase. This reaction is readily reversible. Retinal
is oxidized to retinoic acid, which cannot be
converted back to the other forms.
• The side chain contains alternate double bonds, and
hence many isomers are possible. The all-trans
variety of retinal, also called vitamin A1 is most
common.
• Biologically important compound is 11-cis-retinal.
8. 2. Absorption of Vitamin A:
• The absorption is along with other fats and
requires bile salts.
• In biliary tract obstruction and steatorrhea,
vitamin A absorption is reduced.
• It is carried by chylomicrons and transported
to liver.
• In the liver cells, vitamin is stored as retinol
palmitate.
9.
10. 3. Transport from liver to tissues:
• The vitamin A from liver is transported to peripheral
tissues as trans-retinol by the retinol binding
protein or RBP.
4. Uptake by tissues:
• Inside the cystoplasm of cells, vitamin binds to
cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRBP) and
finally to hormone responsive elements (HRE) of
DNA.
• Thus genes are activated.
11. 5. Biological role of vitamin A:
A. Wald’s Visual Cycle:
• Wald was awarded Nobel prize in 1967, for
identifying the role of vitamin A in vision.
• Rhodopsin is a membrane protein found in the
photoreceptor cells of the retina.
• Rhodopsin is made-up of the protein opsin and 11-
cis-retinal.
• When light falls on the retina, the 11-cis-retinal
isomerises to all-transretinal.
12.
13. • Generation of Nerve Impulse: In visual pigments,
the 11-cis retinal locks opsin in its inactive form.
• The isomerization and photo-excitation leads to
generation of the nerve impulse.
• This is a G-protein coupled reaction.
• A single photon can excite the rod cell.
• The photon produces immediate conformational
change in rhodopsin and all-transretinal is
produced.
• The all-transretinal is then released from the opsin
protein.
14. B. Regeneration of 11-cis-retinal:
• After dissociation, opsin remains in retina; but
transretinal enters the blood circulation.
• The all-transretinal is isomerised to 11-cis-retinal in
the retina itself in the dark by the enzyme retinal
isomerase.
• The 11-cis retinal can recombine with opsin to
regenerate rhodopsin.
• Alternatively, all-transretinal is transported to liver
and then reduced to all-transretinol by alcohol
dehydrogenase (ADH), an NADH dependent
enzyme.
15. • ADH contains zinc, and therefore, zinc is
important in retinol metabolism.
• The all-trans-retinol is isomerized to 11-
cis-retinol and then oxidized to 11-cis-
retinal in liver.
• This is then transported to retina.
• This completes the Wald’s visual cycle.
16. 6. Dark Adaptation Mechanism:
• Bright light depletes stores of rhodopsin in rods.
• Therefore when a person shifts suddenly from bright
light to a dimly lit area, there is difficulty in seeing,
for example, entering a cinema theater.
• After a few minutes, rhodopsin is resynthesized and
vision is improved.
• This period is called dark adaptation time.
• It is increased in vitamin A deficiency.
• Red light bleaches rhodopsin to a lesser extent; so
doctors use red glasses, during fluoroscopic X-ray
examination of the patients.
17. 7. Rods are for Vision in Dim Light:
• In the retina, there are two types of
photosensitive cells, the rods and the
cones.
• Rods are responsible for perception in dim
light.
• It is made up of 11-cis-retinal + opsin.
• Deficiency of cis-retinal will lead to
increase in dark adaptation time and night
blindness.
18. 8. Cones are for Color Vision
• Cones are responsible for vision in bright light
as well as color vision.
• They contain the photosensitive protein,
conopsin (photopsin).
• In cone proteins also, 11-cis-retinal is the
chromophore.
• Reduction in number of cones or the cone
proteins, will lead to color blindness.
19. 9. Biochemical functioms of vitamin A
• Retinal is the active form required for normal vision.
• Retinoic acid is implicated in growth and
differentiation of tissues.
• Retinol is necessary for normal reproduction.
• In vitamin deficiency, miscarriages are noticed in
female rats while atrophy of germinal epithelium
and sterility are seen in male rats.
• Antioxidant property: Fresh vegetables containing
carotenoids were shown to reduce the incidence of
cancer.
20. Dietary sources of vitamin
• Animal sources include milk, butter, cream, cheese,
egg yolk and liver.
• Fish liver oils (cod liver oil and shark liver oil) are
very rich sources of the vitamin.
• Vegetable sources contain the yellow pigment beta
carotene.
• Carrot contains significant quantity of beta
carotene.
• Papaya, mango, pumpkins, green leafy vegetables
(spinach, amaranth) are other good sources for
vitamin A activity.
21. Daily requirements of vitamin A
• The recommended daily allowance
(RDA) for
• Children = 400-600 microgram/day.
• Men = 750-1000 microgram/day.
• Women = 750 microgram/day.
• Pregnancy = 1000 microgram/day.
22. Hypervitaminosis A or toxicity
• Excessive intake can lead to toxicity since the
vitamin is stored.
• It has been reported in children where parents
have been overzealous in supplementing the
vitamins.
• Symptoms of toxicity include anorexia, irritability,
headache, peeling of skin, drowsiness and
vomiting.
• Enlargement of liver is also seen in children.
23. Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)
1. Formation of Vitamin D:
7-dehydrocholesterol, an intermediate of a minor
pathway of cholesterol synthesis, is available in the
Malpighian layer of epidermis.
In the skin, ultraviolet light breaks the bond, to give
rise the provitamin, secosterol.
The cis double bond between is then isomerised to
trans bond to form vitamin D3 or cholicalciferol.
So, vitamin D is called “sun-shine vitamin”.
As sunshine less in winter months, vitamin
deficiency is seen in winter.
24.
25.
26.
27.
28. 2. Activation of Vitamin D:
• Vitamin D acts like a prohormone.
• The cholecalciferol is first transported to liver, where
hydroxylation at 25th position occurs, to form 25-
hydroxycholecalciferol (25-HCC).
• 25-HCC is the major storage form.
• In the kidney, it is further hydroxylated at the 1st
position.
• Thus 1,25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol (DHCC) is
generated.
• Since it contains three hydroxyl groups at 1,3 and 25
positions, it is also called Calcitriol.
• The calcitriol thus formed is the active form of
vitamin; it acts as a hormone.
29.
30. 3. Biochemical Effects of Vitamin D:
• The sites of action are:
a) Intestinal mucosal cells.
b) Osteoblasts of bones.
c) Distal tubular cells of kidney.
31. A. Vitamin D and Absorption of Calcium
• Calcitriol promoted the absorption of
calcium and phosphorus from the intestine.
• Absorption of calcium needs energy.
• Calcitriol acts like a steroid hormone.
• It increases the synthesis of Calbindin.
• Due to the increased availability of calcium
binding protein, the absorption of calcium is
increased.
32. B. Effect of vitamin D in Bone:
• Mineralization of the bone is increased by
increasing the activity of osteoblasts.
• Calcitriol stimulates osteoblasts which secret
alkaline phosphatase.
• Due to this enzyme, the local concentration of
phosphate is increased.
• The ionic product of calcium and phosphorus
increases, leading to mineralization.
33. C. Effect of Vitamin D in Renal Tubules:
• Calcitriol increases the reabsorption of
calcium and phosphorus by renal
tubules, therefore both minerals are
conserved. (Parathyroid hormone
conserves only calcium).
34. Calcitriol
• Is the physiologically active form of vitamin D.
• It increases the blood calcium level.
Calcitonin
• Is the peptide hormone released from thyroid
gland.
• It decreases the blood calcium.
35. 5. Requirements of Vitamin D
• Children = 10 microgram (400 IU/day).
• Adults = 5 to 10 microgram (200 IU/day).
• Pregnancy, lactation = 10 microgram
IU/day.
• Senior citizens above the age of 60 = 600
IU/day.
36. 6. Sources of Vitamin D
• Exposure to sunlight produces
cholecalciferol.
• Moreover fish liver oil, fish and egg yolk
are good sources of the vitamin.
• Milk contains moderate quantity of the
vitamin.
37. 7. Hypervitaminosis D
• Doses above 1500 units per day for very
long periods may cause toxicity.
• Symptoms include weakness, polyuria,
intense thirst, and calcification of soft
tissues (metastatic calcification),
especially in renal tissues.
38. Vitamin E
1. Chemical Nature:
• They have a chromane ring (tocol) system,
with an isoprenoid side chain.
• There are eight naturally occurring
tocopherols.
• Of these, alpha tocopherol has greatest
biological activity.
39. 2. Biochemical Role of Vitamin E:
• Vitamin E is the most powerful natural
antioxidant.
• Free radicals are continuously being generated in
living systems.
• Their prompt inactivation is of great importance.
• The free radicals would attack biomembranes.
• Vitamin E protects RBC from hemolysis.
• Gradual deterioration of aging process is due to the
cumulative effects of free radicals.
• Vitamin E prevents early aging.
• It reduces the risk of myocardial infarction by
reducing oxidation of LDL.
40. 3. Inter-relationship with Selenium:
• Selenium is present in glutathion
peroxidase; an important enzyme that
oxidized and destroys the free radicals.
• Selenium has been found to decrease the
requirement of vitamin E and vice versa.
• They act synergistically to minimize lipid
peroxidation.
41. 4. Sources of Vitamin E
• Vegetable oils are rich sources of
vitamin E; e.g. wheat germ oil,
sunflower oil, safflower oil, cotton
seed oil, etc.
• Fish liver oils are devoid of vitamin E.
42. 5. Requirement
• Males 10 mg/day.
• Females 8 mg/day.
• Pregnancy 10 mg/day.
• Lactation 12 mg/day.
• The requirement increases with higher
intake of PUFA.
• Pharmacological dose is 200-400 IU/day.
43. Vitamin K
1. Chemistry of Vitamin K:
• The letter “K” is the abbreviation of the German
word “Koagulation vitamin”.
• They are naphthoquinone derivatives, with a
long isoprenoid side chain.
• Yet another structurally similar synthetic
compound having vitamin K activity is
Menadione.
• It is water soluble synthetic vitamin.
44. 2. Biochemical Role of Vitamin K:
• Vitamin K is necessary for coagulation factors such
as factor II (prothrombin) and factor IX (Christmas
factor).
• These factors are synthesized by the liver as
inactive zymogens.
• They undergo gamma carboxylation of glutamic
acid residues.
• These are the binding sites for calcium ions.
• The gamma carboxyglutamic acid (GCG) synthesis
requires vitamin K as a cofactor.
45. 3. Daily Requirements of Vitamin K
• Recommended daily allowance is 50-
100 microgram/day.
• This is usually available in a normal
diet.
46. 4. Sources of Vitamin K
• Green leafy vegetables are good dietary
sources.
• Even if the diet does not contain the
vitamin, intestinal bacterial synthesis will
meet the daily requirements, as long as
absorption is normal.
