Lipid Storage Diseases
Fat-Soluble Vitamins Vitamin A: part of the visual cycle; deficiency symptom is night blindness Vitamin D: key player in calcium and phosphate metabolism; deficiency leads to rickets (weakening of bones) Vitamin E: antioxidant, protects membranes against oxidative damage Vitamin K: assists enzyme in adding a carboxyl group to amino acid glutamate on blood-clotting proteins to create a calcium ion binding site; deficiency causes problems with blood clotting
