Fat-soluble vitamins, compared with their water soluble counterparts.Generally have a greater potential toxicity for because they are
A. Administeicd in larger dosesB. Avidly stored by the body
C. Capable ot dissolving membrane phospholinids
D. Involved in more essential metabolic pathways
The answer
is B
Fat soluble vitamins, especially A and D, can
be stored in massive amounts and hence, have a potential for serious
toxicities. Water soluble vitamins are easily excreted by the kidney and
accumulation to toxic levels is much less common. Conversely, inadequate
dietary intake will lead to manifestations of deficiency relatively faster.
