Document Summary
Animals nad (nicotineamine adenine dinucleotide) & nadp ( phosphate) Intracellular ca signaling molecules cadpr, naadp (gene expression, neurotransmission) Participates in many biochemincal pathways: b- oxidation, krebs cycle, etc. Regenerating gsh from gssg (requires nadp and fad) Requires in pentose phosphate pathway/hexose monophosphate shunt (nadph production, synthesis of ribose) Essential in metabolism, carry carboxylic acids into rxns (coenzyne a) Both folate and b12 are needed for proper functioning of the sam cycle and dna synthesis/repair. Diarrhea (gi damage from lack of energy from niacin redox rxns), Dementia (cadpr, & naadp play a criticial role in cognition) Common worldwide, esp. in young women and elderly. Cracked lips, inflammation on linning of mouth and tongue, mouth ulcers, crack at corners of mouth *mouth is a region of high turnover and mechanical stress. Infantile: infants are extremely sensitive to b1 deificiency. Wet: affects children and adults, results in extensive cardiovascular system involvement.
