  • Title: Transport and metabolism of vitamins.
    Author: Rose RC, McCorrmick DB, Li TK, Lumeng L, Haddad JG, Spector R.
    Journal: Fed Proc; 1986 Jan; 45(1):30-9. PubMed ID: 3000833.
    Abstract:
    Although the biochemical roles of most vitamins in the body are reasonably well understood, our knowledge of how the body transports and metabolizes the vitamins is incomplete. This paper summarizes the information available on riboflavin, vitamin B-6, biotin, vitamin D, vitamin C, and pantothenic acid. As might be expected on the basis of the diverse chemistry and biology of these substrates, the body has quite unique mechanisms for handling each of them.
