Riboflavin deficiency - what does this mean
Riboflavin deficiency occurs when the body does not have enough of the vitamin riboflavin, which is found in many foods such as dairy products, eggs, green vegetables, and fortified grains. this can happen due to inadequate dietary intake, impaired absorption or increased need for the vitamin. symptoms of riboflavin deficiency include cracked lips, sore throat, swollen tongue, fatigue, and anemia.
What happens during the disease - riboflavin deficiency
Riboflavin deficiency is caused by inadequate dietary intake of riboflavin or its precursors, such as tryptophan, as well as impaired absorption, metabolic utilization, or transport of the vitamin. this leads to a decrease in the levels of flavin adenine dinucleotide (fad) and flavin mononucleotide (fmn) in the body, which are essential cofactors for many metabolic processes. this in turn leads to a variety of clinical manifestations, including anemia, skin lesions, cheilosis, and glossitis.
