Interactions of riboflavin (vitamin B2) with other micronutrients (vital substances): Vitamin B complex Because flavoproteins interfere with the metabolism of some other vitamins such as vitamin B6, niacin, and folic acid, a marked riboflavin deficiency affects diverse enzyme systems. The conversion of naturally occurring vitamin B6 to its co-enzyme form – pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) – … Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Interactions
Pantothenic acid was not included in the National Nutrition Survey II (2008). Regarding the intake of pantothenic acid in the German population, data exist from the 2004 Nutrition Report of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). These data on pantothenic acid intake are based on estimates and only reflect the average intake. No statements can be … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Supply Situation
Intermediary metabolism Pantothenic acid, in the form of coenzyme A, is involved in manifold reactions in intermediary metabolism. This includes energy, carbohydrate, fat, and amino acid metabolism. It is characterized by the metabolic pathways occurring at the interfaces of anabolic and catabolic metabolism. anabolic – building up – processes include the enzymatic synthesis of large-molecule … Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Functions
Risk groups for biotin deficiency include individuals with: Chronic hemodialysis Chronic gastrointestinal diseases Chronic alcohol abuse Under anticonvulsant treatment Taking certain antiepileptic drugs – primidone, carbamazepine (inhibit intestinal biotin uptake and displace biotin from its binding to biotinidase). Possibly pregnant women
In the National Nutrition Survey II (NVS II, 2008), the dietary behavior of the population was investigated for Germany and it was shown how this affects the average daily nutrient intake with macro- and micronutrients (vital substances). The intake recommendations (D-A-CH reference values) of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) are used as the basis for … Zinc: Supply Situation
Interactions of selenium with other micronutrients (vital substances): Iodine Selenium deficiency can exacerbate the symptoms of iodine deficiency. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormone. At the same time, selenium-containing enzymes – iodothyronine deiodinases -, are needed for the conversion of thyroxine (T4) to the biologically active thyroid hormone triiodothyroxine (T3). Supplemental selenium … Selenium: Interactions
Molybdenum is known to be a cofactor for three enzymes: Xanthine oxidase supports the hydroxylation reaction of nucleotides – precursors of DNA (genetic information) and RNA (transmits genetic information for protein formation) – and uric acid formation – uric acid is a highly potent water-soluble antioxidant. Xanthine dehyde oxidase plays an important role in the … Molybdenum: Functions
Interaction of manganese with other micronutrients (vital substances): Calcium According to several studies, calcium supplementation at 500 mg/day results in decreased bioavailability of manganese, with calcium phosphate and carbonate having the greatest effect and calcium from milk having the least effect; some other studies showed only minimal effects of calcium supplementation on manganese metabolism. Magnesium … Manganese: Interactions
Copper is an integral component of a number of metalloproteins and is essential for their enzyme function.Its two oxidation states enable the trace element to participate in electron-transferring enzyme reactions. As a cofactor of metalloenzymes, copper plays the role of receiver and donor of electrons and is thus of great importance for oxidation and reduction … Copper: Functions
Sleep Duration Recommended sleep duration for all ages: Ages Ideal sleep duration Newborn (0-3 months) 14-17 Infants (4-11 months) 12-15 Infants (1-2 years 11-14 Kindergarten children (3-5 years) 10-13 School children (6-13 years) 9-11 Teenagers (14-17 years) 8-10 Young adults (18-25 years 7-9 Adults (26-64 years) 7-9 Seniors (≥ 65 years) 7-8 Behaviors that promote … Sleep Disorders: Sleep Hygiene Tips for Good Sleep
Environmental medicine deals with the influences of the environment on the body and the development of diseases due to environmental factors that cause illness.The environment is a complex system of natural, but also artificial substances, to which more and more people react with diseases and complaints such as allergies.The environment consists of Water Ground Air … Anti-Aging Measures: Avoidance of Environmental Noxious Agents
Neuroblastoma (ICD-10-GM C74.-: Malignant neoplasm of the adrenal gland) is a malignant neoplasm (malignant neoplasm) of the autonomic nervous system. Neuroblastoma is the second most common malignant neoplasm in children behind acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Sex ratio: girls and boys are affected with approximately equal frequency. Frequency peak: the disease occurs in childhood. In 90% … Neuroblastoma
