Vitamins

by Kevin Ahern, PhD

Vitamins are compounds required in the diet for adequate metabolic functioning. Vitamins can be classified as water- or lipid-soluble. Vitamin deficiency can prove deleterious depending on the specific vitamin that is lacking. Rickets and megaloblastic anemia are prominent examples of conditions caused by vitamin deficiencies.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the most important vitamins and their biomedical importance.

For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to have familiarity with the basic notions of molecular and cellular biology and the biochemistry of biomolecules.
