Vitamins
Updates to Article Attributes
Vitamins are a group of organic compounds used in biochemical pathways. Many are components of coenzymes in particular metabolic reactions. Vitamins are generally not synthesised by the human body and hence must be acquired through the diet. Vitamer is the name given to the different forms of a particular vitamin, e.g. vitamin K exists as both K1 and K2 vitamers.
In radiology, there are some imaging manifestations of disease due to abnormally high (hypervitaminosis) and low (hypovitaminosis) levels of particular vitamins.
Vitamins can be classified into fat-soluble and water-soluble compounds.
B-complex vitamins are numbered and by scientific convention the number is subscripted.
Fat-soluble vitamins
Water-soluble vitamins
- B vitamins
- vitamin C
NB Vitamins B4, B8, B10, B11, and B13 - B17 have been reclassified and no longer meet the biochemical definition of vitamins or are only vitamins in non-human species.
