Vitamin D has many functions throughout the body. While severe deficiency directly leads to poor bone mineralization, resulting

in rickets and osteomalacia, current research suggests that a deficit in vitamin D may be involved in the etiology of many disorders, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory infection, diabetes, infectious disease, and some cancers. Given what you know about the characteristics of a deficiency disease, which of the following would be considered a deficiency disease resulting from inadequate levels of vitamin D?
A. Osteomalacia
B. Rickets
C. Cardiovascular disease
D. Fatty liver
E. Type 2 diabetes

Answer:

Osteomalacia and rickets

Explanation:

Osteomalacia and rickets are very characteristic pathologies due to vitamin D deficiency. Both are the same, but the difference between them is age and the morbidity they generate, rickets is in children, therefore the sequelae are much worse because they drag these bone disorders throughout his life, causing his morbidity to be high.

Meanwhile, osteomalacia is in adults, many adults because they cannot sunbathe, find themselves facing sedentary lives or even living in few areas with the sun, are affected by this pathology.

Why are uncompetitive andmixed inhibitors generally considered to
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are not affected by the substrate concentration while inhibition by a competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. When the competitive inhibitor combines with the enzyme and forms the enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI complex), the substrate cannot bind to the active site. However, the inhibition by competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration around the enzyme which in turn would allow the substrate to bind to the active site and the reaction would proceed.  

On the other hand, an uncompetitive inhibitor binds to the site at the enzyme different from the active site. Once the ES complex is formed, the uncompetitive inhibitor joins the complex to inhibit the enzymatic activity.  

Likewise, a mixed inhibitor also occupies a site on the enzyme distinct from the active site for the substrate. A mixed inhibitor binds to the enzyme or ES complex to inhibit the reaction.  

Since the binding site for uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are distinct from the substrate-binding site on the enzyme, increasing the substrate concentration can not overcome the inhibition.
