Vitamin B 3 :Type , function , source , disorder and dose

 

Vitamin B 3 [Niacin]


Vitamin B 3 is also known as Niacin . It is water soluble vitamin play a key role of skin , digestive system , mental health and support the function of more than 200 enzyme in the body . Vitamin B 3 is a contribute of two chemical nicotinic acid and nicotinamide . The body break down these chemical to produce two aditional chemical of NAD+(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) , NADP+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate).

Type

There are two types -

*Nicotinic acid

*Nicotinamide

*Nicotinic acid

The most common for in supplement it is found in both plant and animal source . High dose of nicotinic acid supplement may cause a condition cause niacin flush.

*Nicotinamide

It is found in other supplement source .

Role and function

All dietary form of niacin in the converted to NAD and NADP which act as co enzymes ike the other vitamin B as a function of co enzyme in the body.

* Playing a essential role in cellular function and acting as an antioxidant one of the most role known as glycolysis (the extraction of energy of glucose.)

*The nutrient help the body convert food into glucose used to produce energy.

*Niacin contribute to the normal function of nervous system and psychological function.

* As a supplement niacin may help lower cholesterol , arthritis and boost brain function.

* It may help prevent heart disease , arthritis , low cholesterol and diabetes.

Source

Niacin is found in a different variety of food specially meat , chicken , fish , nut some energy drink are also loaded with vitamin B . Some time is very high dose.

Deficiency of vitamin B 3

In the past niacin deficiency was uncommon but specially this deficiency are found in south Areas.

*A pigmentation rush on the skin that is expose to the sun . 

*Rough appearance to the skin .

*Bright red tongue .

*Fatigue .

*Vomiting , constipation , diarrhoea.

* Circulatory system problem.

*Depression.

*Headache.

*Memory loss.

*Pellagra.

   Niacin deficiency known as Pellagra is uncommon in develop country the main system of pellagra include inflamed skin mouth sore , insomnia,  dementia. 

Toxicity

Naturally occuring niacin from food does not appear to have any adverse effects.
       However high supplement of niacin may cause niacin flush (red skin) , Nausea , vomiting , stomach irritation , and liver damage .

   Gastrointestinal agent Gastrointestinal agents are drug which produce different effect in the gastrointestinal tract. Medications for gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms include prescription and nonprescription drugs, conventional and unconventional agents, simple small molecules, complex macromolecules and large recombinant proteins. These medications are can be classified based upon their use: drugs for nausea and vomiting (antiemetics), prokinetic agents, laxatives, antidiarrheal agents, drugs for acid peptic disease, drugs for irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and, of course, miscellaneous. Agents used for gastrointestinal disease rarely cause liver injury. One reason for this is that they are often locally active and result in little systemic exposure. The immunomodulatory agents used to treat inflammatory bowel disease are an exception, being given systemically, often intravenously and capable of causing liver injury, although not very frequently.

Sodium thio sulphate : Preparation , physical & chemical properties , pharmaceutical uses , storage condition.

   Sodium Thio Sulphate [Na₂S₂O₃.5H₂O] Sodium thio sulphate is used as a medication to treat cyanide poisoning, pityriasis versicolor, and to decrease side effects from cisplatin. For cyanide poisoning it is often used after the medication sodium  nitrite and typically only recommended for severe cases. Preparation * It can also prepared by passing sulphur dioxide into sodium sulphide. 2Na₂S + 3SO₂  → 2Na₂S₂O₃ + 1/2 S₂ * one half of a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate is saturated with Sulphur dioxide and the other half added to it then sodium sulphide is formed. Na₂CO₃ + 2SO₂ + H₂O → 2NaHSO₃ + CO₂ Na₂CO₃  +  2NaHSO → 2Na₂S₂O₃  + H₂O + CO↑ Physical property * it is colourless odourless and transparent crystalline powder. * it have bitter taste. * it is very soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. * it have melting point 56℃. *In its anhydrous form, sodium thiosulfate has a molar mass of 158.11 grams per mole. The more commonly available pentahydrate from, Na 2 S 2 O 3 .5H 2

Sulphur Dioxide : Preparation , Physical and Chemical property , uses and Storage condition.

   Sulphur Dioxide                     [SO₂] Overview Sulfur dioxide is a respiratory irritant that is highly soluble in the aqueous surfaces of the respiratory airways. Because of this high solubility, most of the sulfur dioxide is absorbed in the nose and upper airways and very little reaches the lungs directly. Inhalation of high ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide can cause stimulation of the nerves in the air passages, resulting in a reflex cough, irritation, and chest tightness. At extremely high concentrations, the death or pathological changes including laryngotracheal and pulmonary edema can be induced in the respiratory tract of experimental animals. The gas is quite corrosive and can also cause damage to buildings and other materials. It is very acidic *preparation* Sulphur dioxide is prepared by the reaction of metallic sulphide or metallic by sulphite with dilute acid.  or  Sulphur Dioxide is prepared by the action of dilute sulphuric acid or sulphite.
