Biotin (or vitamin B7) is a water-soluble vitamin that is actively involved in the body’s metabolic processes. Biotin plays a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Recent studies have shown that biotin affects the regulation of genes related to glucose metabolism and may also improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk […]
Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in metabolism. It is involved in the synthesis of coenzyme A, one of the most important coenzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Recent studies show that vitamin B5 deficiency can have a significant impact on […]
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin, vision and immune system. But beyond these known functions, vitamin A, and more specifically its active forms, the retinoids, have a significant impact on the regulation of genetic expression. This opens new horizons for the treatment of cancer, where vitamin […]
Omega-3 fatty acids are important components that play a key role in maintaining overall health and skin health. While they are primarily known for their benefits to the heart and blood vessels, their effects on the skin are also invaluable. In this article, we will look at why omega-3s are so important to the body, […]
Vitamin D is an important fat-soluble vitamin that affects many physiological processes in the body. In addition to its primary role in regulating calcium metabolism and maintaining bone health, vitamin D has a significant impact on the immune system. It helps normalize the activity of immune cells, including T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells, which […]
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in carbohydrate metabolism and cellular energy metabolism, especially in nervous tissue. Recent studies have shown that thiamine deficiency can lead to disruption of normal nervous system function and is associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and […]
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays an important role in maintaining human health by having a significant impact on the immune system and protecting cells from oxidative stress. One of the key uses of vitamin C is in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In recent years, studies have increasingly confirmed that regular consumption […]
Vitamin A (retinol) and its derivatives (retinoids) have long been known for their beneficial effects on skin and vision. However, in recent years, interest in their role in modulating genetic expression and regulating tumor cell growth has been increasing. In this article, we will review the mechanisms of vitamin A action at the genome level, […]
In recent years, vitamin D has attracted increasing attention not only as a regulator of bone metabolism, but also as a powerful modulator of the immune system. Deficiency of this vitamin is associated with an increased risk of various autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis, vitiligo and systemic lupus erythematosus. Biological role of vitamin D Vitamin D […]
Vitamin K is a group of fat-soluble vitamins that play a key role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. Although vitamin K is not as widely discussed as other vitamins, its importance to human health cannot be overemphasized. In this article, we will look at the functions of vitamin K, its effects on the body, […]
Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in various physiological processes of the body. Its uniqueness lies in its complex structure and its indispensability in metabolic pathways. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a global health problem, especially in developed countries, where prevalence can be as high as 20% among the […]
Vitamin K2 is one of the important micronutrients that has recently attracted the attention of researchers. This vitamin performs key functions in the regulation of calcium metabolism, which affects both bone health and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K2 helps prevent calcium deposition in blood vessels and promotes calcium delivery to the bones, where it is essential […]
