Question
Chapter 15.10, Problem 15.22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among steroid rings A, B, C and D that remains intact in vitamin D has to be identified. Also. the ring that is cleaved has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Vitamins are the organic molecules that are essential for the human body and are required in small amount for proper
Vitamins are generally classified as fat-soluble and water-soluble. Lipids are generally considered as fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin A, D, E and K are fat-soluble vitamins.
Vitamin D is synthesized from cholesterol that regulates the metabolism of phosphorous and calcium ions in the body. Deficiency of this vitamin leads to skeleton deformities such as rickets, disease in bone by knock knees.
