Kevin was a participant in a clinical study to determine how much niacin cures pellagra, the niacin deficiency disease. During t

he study, he consumed only a formula diet that was deficient in niacin. After developing pellagra, he was given 2 mg of niacin a day for 2 weeks, but he still suffered from the disease, so the scientists added 2 mg of the vitamin to Kevin's formula. By the beginning of the 5th week of the study, the researchers noticed that Kevin's signs and symptoms were greatly improved. At the end of the 5th week, he was feeling fine. The researchers concluded thata. Kevin's niacin requirement was about 4 mg a day.
b. the RDA for niacin should be 4 mg.
c. the AI for niacin should be 4 mg plus 60 mg as a margin of safety.
d. Kevin's daily value for niacin was 4 mg a day.

Answer: The correct answer is option A.

KELVIN'S NIACIN REQUIREMENT WAS ABOUT 4MG A DAY.

Oweing to the fact that a Niacin dose of 2mg couldn't relieve Kelvin of his Pellagra presenting signs and symptoms till the dosage was increased to 4mg before obvious and remarkable improvement was seen,this indicates that Kelvin need a daily requirement of 4mg of Niacin inorder not to be deficient of Niacin and as well live a pallegra free life.

Niacin deficiency is a condition that occurred when an individual doesn't get enough of Niacin or can't absorb the available Niacin when taken into the body or tryptophan (Niacin amino acid precursor).

Pallegra is a systemic disease that occurs as a result of marked cellular deficiency in Niacin. it is characterised by diarrhea, dermatitis,dementia, and death.

Certain foods are rich in Niacin example; animal products like meat,fish and poultry.

Niacin can also be sourced from avocado,peanuts,whole grains, mushroom, green pees and potatoes.

Organize the steps of homeostasis in which they occur
garri49 [273]

The steps in homeostasis in order in which they occur are as follows:

<h3>First step</h3>

Stimulus: a stimulus occurs in the body for instance  a sudden change in the body temperature.

<h3>Second step</h3>

Receptors: the stimulus is acknowledged by the receptors with the help of sensors.

<h3>Third step</h3>

Control Center: the receptors acknowledge that information and sends it to the control center.

<h3>Fourth step</h3>

Set Point: the control center compares the information received by the receptors and checks in against the set point.

<h3>Fifth step</h3>

Effectors: once the controls center knows that the change needs to happen, it sends instructions to the effectors in order to address the issue.

<h3>Final step</h3>

Response: the response of the body is caused by the effectors. In the case of an increasing body temperature, the response is that the temperature begins to decrease until it reaches a normal range again.
