Vitamin A

Description:

Vitamin A, known scientifically as retinol, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for various biological functions, including vision, immune function, and skin health. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature, which allows it to be stored in the liver and fatty tissues. The molecular structure of Vitamin A features a beta-ionone ring and a long hydrocarbon tail, contributing to its biological activity. As a potent antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. Vitamin A is crucial for the synthesis of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that enables low-light vision. Deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to serious health issues, including night blindness and increased susceptibility to infections. It is found in various dietary sources, including liver, fish, dairy products, and certain fruits and vegetables, particularly those rich in carotenoids, which the body can convert into active Vitamin A. Due to its importance in human health, Vitamin A is often included in dietary supplements and fortified foods.
