Nutritional Requirements and Dietary Assessment. Growth, strenuous physical activity, pregnancy, and lactation increase needs for energy and several essential nutrients, including water. Energy needs rise during pregnancy, due to the demands of fetal growth, and during lactation, because of the increased energy required for milk production. Energy needs decrease with loss of lean body mass, the major determinant of REE....

The median intake of thiamine in the United States from food alone is 2 mg/d. Most dietary deficiency of thiamine worldwide is the result of poor dietary intake. In Western countries, the primary causes of thiamine deficiency are alcoholism and chronic illness, such as cancer. Alcohol interferes directly with the absorption of thiamine and with the synthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate.....

Retinaldehyde (11-cis) is the essential form of vitamin A that is required for normal vision, whereas retinoic acid is necessary for normal morphogenesis, growth, and cell differentiation.. Retinoic acid does not function in vision and, in contrast to retinol, is not involved in reproduction. Certain cells also contain retinoic acid–binding proteins, which have sequestering functions but also shuttle retinoic acid...

Infants are particularly susceptible to vitamin A deficiency. In developing countries, chronic dietary deficit is the main cause of vitamin A deficiency and is exacerbated by infection. Vitamin A deficiency is endemic where diets are chronically poor, especially in Southern Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, some areas of Latin America, and the Western Pacific, including parts of China. However, vitamin A deficiency...

Vitamin and Trace Mineral Deficiency and Excess. Acute toxicity of vitamin A was first noted in Arctic explorers who ate polar bear liver and has also been seen after administration of 150 mg in adults or 100 mg in children. Acute toxicity is manifested by increased intracranial pressure, vertigo, diplopia, bulging fontanels in children, seizures, and exfoliative dermatitis. it may...

Vitamin E Deficiency: Treatment. Symptomatic vitamin E deficiency should be treated with 800–1200 mg of αtocopherol per day. Children with symptomatic vitamin E deficiency should be treated with 400 mg/d orally of water-miscible esters. High doses (60–800 mg/d) of vitamin E have been shown in controlled trials to improve parameters of immune function and to reduce colds in. All forms...

Selenium, in the form of selenocysteine, is a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which serves to protect proteins, cell membranes, lipids, and nucleic acids from oxidant molecules. As such, selenium is being actively studied as a chemopreventive agent against certain cancers, such as prostate.. Selenocysteine is also found in the deiodinase enzymes, which mediate the deiodination of thyroxine to...
