This document provides information about the biosynthesis of vitamin C. It begins with background on vitamins in general and then discusses vitamin C specifically. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, can be synthesized industrially from glucose. In plants, a major pathway for vitamin C synthesis is the L-galactose pathway, in which GDP-D-mannose is converted to L-ascorbate through four intermediates. The document concludes with the presenters thanking the audience.

Fat soluble vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. Chemical nature, Dietary sources, Coenzyme forms, Biochemical functions, recommended dietary allowances and deficiency diseases of fat soluble vitamins.
Vitamins are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.
Water soluble vitamins cannot be stored in human tissues. Their excess is excreted with urine.
Significant amounts of fat soluble vitamins can be stored in adipose tissue and the liver.
Synthetic vitamins are identical to natural vitamins.
Once growth and development are completed, vitamins remain essential nutrients for the healthy maintenance of the cells, tissues, and organs.
The word "vitamin" comes from the Latin word “vita”, means "life". Vitamins are organic components in food that are required in very small amounts for growth and for maintaining good health. Vitamins are chemicals found in very small amounts in many different foods Vitamins and minerals are measured in a variety of ways. The most common are:
mg – milligram (a milligram is one thousandth of a gram)
mcg – microgram (a microgram is one millionth of a gram. 1,000 micrograms is equal to one milligram)
IU – international unit (the conversion of milligrams and micrograms into IU depends on the type of vitamin or drug)
The Comprehensive Review on Fat Soluble Vitaminsiosrphr_editor
This review article deals with brief description of fat soluble vitamins with figures and tables
showing statistical analytical data duly quoting the references wherever necessary. The word “soluble” actually
means “able to be dissolved.” Whether a vitamin is classified as 'fat-soluble' or 'water-soluble' has to do with
how the vitamin is absorbed, stored and removed from the body. Vitamins are tiny organic compounds with a
huge impact on the health and well-being of the body. The body needs a small amount of fat soluble vitamins in
order to stay in optimal health. Fat soluble vitamins play an important role in keeping the body healthy and
functioning from immune system and muscle and heart function, easy flow and clotting of blood as well as eye
health. They are critical to health and wellness–particularly reproductive health and wellness. Low-fat, no-fat
and vegan diets are woefully lacking in fat soluble vitamins. However a diet based on traditional foods can
naturally provide these vitamins. Science is still learning about many of the functions of vitamins. "Too much
vitamin A, D, or K can lead to increased levels that are unhealthy and can cause serious health consequences.
Diseased conditions leading to decreased fat absorption leads to decreased absorption of vitamins. The fatsoluble
vitamins work most safely and effectively when obtained them from natural foods within the context of a
diet rich in all their synergistic partners. If fat soluble vitamins are stored for lengthy time they generate threat
for toxicity than water soluble vitamins and such situation even aggravated, provided they are consumed in
excess. Vitamin products, above the legal limits are not considered food supplements and must be registered as
prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter drugs) due to their potential side effects. Vitamin A and E
supplements do not provide health benefits for healthy individuals, instead they may enhance mortality, and it is
held proved that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful to smokers

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
2. Vitamins
Vitamins are essential organic nutrients required in
very small amounts for normal metabolism, growth
and physical well-being.
Most vitamins are not made in the body, or only in
insufficient amounts, and are mainly obtained
through food. When their intake is inadequate,
vitamin deficiency disorders are the consequence.
3. VITAMINS
No single food contains all of the vitamins and,
therefore, a balanced and varied diet is necessary for
an adequate intake. Each of the 13 vitamins known
today has specific functions in the body, which
makes every one of them unique and irreplaceable.
Of the 13 vitamins, 4 are fat-soluble, namely
vitamins A, D, E and K. The other vitamins are
water-soluble: vitamin C and the B-complex,
consisting of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid,
biotin, pantothenic acid and niacin
4. VITAMINS
While plants and micro organism have the capability
to produce the vitamins necessary for the
metabolism themselves, humans and animals have
unfortunately lost this ability during evolution.
Because of the lack of specific enzymes for synthesis,
vitamins became essential nutrients for them.
5. VITAMIN A
Synonyms
Retinol
Chemistry
Retinol and its related
compounds consist of four
isoprenoid units joined
head to tail and contain five
conjugated double bonds.
They naturally occur as
alcohol (retinol), as
aldehyde (retinal) or as
acid (retinoic acid).
VITAMIN A
6. Vitamin D
Synonyms
Calciferol; antirachitic factor;
“sunshine” vitamin
Chemistry
Vitamin D is a generic term and
indicates a molecule of the general
structure shown for rings A, B, C, and D
with differing side chain structures. The
A, B, C, and D ring structure is derived
from the cyclopentano perhydro
phenanthrene ring structure for
steroids.
Technically, vitamin D is classified as a
seco-steroid. Seco-steroids are those in
which one of the rings has been broken;
in vitamin D, the 9,10 carbon-carbon
bond of ring B is broken.
Vitamin D
7. Vitamin E
Synonyms
Tocopherol
Chemistry
A group of compounds
composed of a
substituted chromanol
ring with a C16 side
chain saturated in
tocopherols, with 3
double bonds in
tocotrienols.
Vitamin E
8. Vitamin K
Synonyms
Phylloquinone, menaquinone
Chemistry
Compounds with vitamin K
activity are 3-substituted 2-
methyl-1,4-naphthoquinones.
Phylloquinone contains a
phytyl group, whereas
menaquinones contain a
polyisoprenyl side chain with
6 to 13 isoprenyl units at the
3-position.
Vitamin K
11. Industrial production
The synthesis of ascorbic acid was achieved by
Reichstein in 1933
Today synthetic vitamin C, identical to that occurring
in nature, is produced from glucose on an industrial
scale by chemical and biotechnological synthesis
12. Biosynthesis of vit C
Although the pathways responsible for L-ascorbate
accumulation in plants are not completely
understood, a major component of plant ascorbate
synthesis is through the L-galactose pathway , in
which GDP-D-mannose is converted to L-ascorbate
by four successive intermediates, as summarized in
Fig.
