A 38-year-old woman is brought to the physician because of frequent falls, increasing confusion, and incontinence A 29-year-old woman is brought to the physician because of thought abnormalities What is the role of vitamins in metabolic pathways? Eric Niederhoffer Medical Biochemistry Vitamins in Neuromuscular Metabolism • Names and roles for vitamins and vitamin-like substances • Deficiencies and sources for vitamins and vitaminlike substances • Vitamin A transport • Role in pathways (glycolysis, glycogenolysis, PPP) • Role in pathways (TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis) • Important neurologic amino acids • Dopamine pathway • Serotonin pathway • Folate and B12 interrelationships • Tetrahydrofolate conversions • Tetrahydrofolate examples • B12 examples • Megaloblastic anemia • Schilling test • Diagnostic testing and diseases Names

Compare the size of the RBC's to the lymphocyte at the lower left center. Such anemias can be due to B9 (folate) or to B12 (cobalamin) deficiency. http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/HEMEHTML/HEME083.html Schilling Test 58Co-B 12 + I.M.
