Role of Vitamins on Fat Metabolism

 Role of Vitamins on Fat Metabolism

1. Thiamine (vitamin B₁). Thiamine helps the enzyme system which is responsible for the synthesis of fats from carbohydrates and proteins.

2.  Riboflavin (vitamin B2). It helps in the conversion of sugar into fats.

3. Nicotinic acid (Niacin). Nicotinic acid helps in the formation of fats from carbohydrates.

4.  Pantothenic acid (vitamin B3). Pantothenic acid in the form of CoA takes part in the reaction of both the synthesis and metabolism of fatty acids and cholesterol.

5. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6). It is related to the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids and also helps in the synthesis of fats from carbohydrates. Pyridoxine, with the help of thiamine, accelerates the formation of fats from protein.

5.  Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B₁₂). This vitamin plays a very important role in the conversion of carbohydrate to fats.
