    Vitamins are organic compounds that people need in small quantities from food. They are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble depending on how they are absorbed in the body. Water-soluble vitamins like thiamine (vitamin B1) are absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine, while fat-soluble vitamins are incorporated into fatty particles and transported through the lymphatic system to the liver before entering the bloodstream. Thiamine acts as a cofactor in carbohydrate metabolism and energy production and regulates the nervous system, heart and brain. A deficiency can cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms.

    INTRODUCTION

    • Vitamins are organic compounds that people need in


    small quantities. Most vitamins need to

    come from food because the body either does not


    produce them or produces very little, A

    vitamin is an organic compound, which means that it


    contains carbon. It is also an essential

    nutrient that the body may need to get from food.


    CLASSIFICATION:
    • One major difference between water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins is the way they are
    •
    • absorbed in the body. Water-soluble vitamins are absorbed directly from the small intestine
    •
    • into the bloodstream. Fat-soluble vitamins are first incorporated into chylomicrons, along
    •
    • with fatty acids, and transported through the lymphatic system to the bloodstream and then
    •
    • on to the liver. The bioavailability (i.e., the amount that gets absorbed) of these vitamins is
    •
    • dependent on the food composition of the diet. Because fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed
    •
    • along with dietary fat, if a meal is very low in fat, the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins
    •
    • in that meal may be impaired.
    1-Water Soluble Vitamins
    Thiamine (vitamin B1)
    • S a water-soluble vitamin that acts as an essential cofactor for various
    pathways of
    carbohydrate metabolism. Thiamine also acts as a cofactor in the
    metabolism of glyoxylic
    acid. It is absorbed rapidly after oral, intramuscular, or intravenous
    administration. However,
    parenteral administration is recommended for initial management of
    thiamine deficiency

    syndromes.
    Food sources
    Mechanism of Action:
    • Thiamine exerts it`s action by influencing carbohydrate metabolism.
    •
    • It combines with ATP to form thiamine pyrophosphate in the body.
    Thiamine pyrophosphate
    •
    • acts as a coenzyme for carbohydrate metabolism, decarboxylation of
    ketoacids, and hexose
    •
    • monophosphate shunt. It also has played some role in neuromuscular
    transmission.
    Function
    • Carbohydrate metabolism and energy production, Vitamin B1 regulates the
    •
    • functioning of the nervous system, heart and brain, it is also prescribed to AIDS
    patients to
    •
    • partly compensate for the loss of immunity caused by the disease, Vitamin B1 is
    important to
    •
    • maintain mental health. It may also reduce the likelihood of memory
    impairments and
    •
    • diseases like Alzheimer’s.
