Presentation Transcript

Vitamin D • Vitamin D is not strictly a vitamin, since it can be synthesized in the skin, and synthesis into a vitamin. • it is only when sunlight exposure is inadequate that a dietary source is required. Its main function is in the regulation of calcium absorption and homeostasis; most of its actions are mediated by nuclear receptors that regulate gene expression. • Deficiency, leading to rickets in children and osteomalaciain adults, continues to be a problem in countries where sunlight exposure is poor.

Sources • Liver, beef, veal, eggs yolk , dairy products , some saltwater fish (salmon, tuna and sardine). • Fortified food (milk, yogurt, cheese, margarine, orange juice, breads and cereals). • It is stable in cooking and storage. • Synthesis in skin. 2009 Cengage-Wadsworth

Vitamin D • The normal dietary form of vitamin D is cholecalciferol (also known as calciol). • This is also the compound that is formed in the skin by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol. • Some foods are enriched or fortified with (synthetic) ergocalciferol, which undergoes the same metabolism as cholecalciferoland has the same biological activity.

International unit • Like vitamin A, vitamin D was originally measured in international units of biological activity before the pure compound was isolated: • 1 IU = 25 ng of cholecalciferol • 1 μg of cholecalciferol = 40 IU.

Vitamin D Chemical nature and properties ﹡types：VitD2（Ergocalciferol） VitD3（Cholecalciferol） ﹡pro-VitD2：Ergosterol Pro-VitD3： 7-hydro-cholesterol Ergosterol→VitD2 cholesterol→7-hydro cholesterol→VitD3 ﹡active form of VitD3： 1, 25- (OH)2-VitD3 transportation: DBP

Absorption and metabolism • Vitamin D is absorbed in lipid micelles and incorporated into chylomicrons; therefore, people on a low fat diet will absorb little of such dietary vitamin D as is available. • Indeed, it is noteworthy that at the time that rickets was a major public health problem in Scotland, herrings (a rich source) were a significant part of the diet: it can only be assumed that the diet was so low in fat that the absorption of the vitamin was impaired.

Synthesis of vitamin D in the skin • The steroid 7-dehydrocholesterol (an intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol that accumulates in the skin but not other tissues) undergoes a non-enzymic reaction on exposure to UV light, yielding previtamin D, which undergoes a further reaction over a period of hours to form cholecalciferol, which is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Synthesis of vitamin D in the skin • Structurally, Vitamin D is derived from a steroid. • It contains 3 intact rings (A,C and D) with a break between carbon 9 and 10 in the B ring. • The steroid 7- dehydrocholestrol is synthesized and secreted on the skin surface. • The conjugated double bonds (5-7) B allow the absorption of UV light. • In the skin with UV cause ring B opining and forming previtamin D3, followed by rearranged to D3 (cholcalciferol).

Synthesis of vitamin D in the skin • In temperate climates there is a marked seasonal variation in the plasma concentration of vitamin D; it is highest at the end of summer and lowest at the end of winter. • The synthesis of cholecalciferol is low in winter. By contrast, in summer, when the sun is more or less overhead, there is a considerable amount of UV light even on a moderately cloudy day, and enough can penetrate thin clothes to result in significant formation of vitamin D. • In northerly climates, and especially in polluted industrial cities with little sunlight, people may well not be exposed to enough UV light to meet their vitamin D needs, and they will be reliant on the few dietary sources of the vitamin.

Regulation of vitamin D metabolism • The main function of vitamin D is in the control of calcium homeostasis and, in turn, vitamin D metabolism in the kidney is regulated, at the level of 1 or 24-hydroxylation, by factors that respond to plasma concentrations of calcium and phosphate. • In tissues other than the kidney that hydroxylatecalcidiolto calcitriol, the enzyme is not regulated in response to plasma calcium.

Regulation of vitamin D metabolism ● Calcitriol acts to reduce its own synthesis and increase formation of 24-hydroxycalcidiol, by regulating the expression of the genes for the two hydroxylases. ● Parathyroid hormone is secreted in response to a fall in plasma calcium. In the kidney it acts to increase the activity of calcidiol 1-hydroxylase and decrease that of 24-hydroxylase. In turn, both calcitriol and high concentrations of calcium repress the synthesis of parathyroid hormone; calcium also inhibits the secretion of the hormone from the parathyroid gland.

Regulation of vitamin D metabolism • Calcium exerts its main effect on the synthesis and secretion of parathyroid hormone. However, calcium ions also have a direct effect on the kidney, reducing the activity of calcidiol 1-hydroxylase. ● Phosphate also affects calcidiolmetabolism; throughout the day there is an inverse fluctuation of plasma phosphate and calcitriol, and feeding • people on a low-phosphate diet results in increasedcirculating concentrations of calcitriol.

Absorption, transport & storage • Cholecalciferol diffuses from the skin into the blood. • It is transported in the blood by vitamin D binding protein (DBP) (transcalciferin) that is synthesized in the liver. • Dietary vitamin D3 (cholecalceferol) is absorbed from a micelle, in association with fat and with the aid of bile salts, in the intestinal cell. • About 50% of dietary vitamin D3 is absorbed. • The rate if absorption is the most rapid in the duodenum, but the largest amount is absorbed in the distal small intestine.

Absorption, transport & storage • In the intestinal cell: vitamin D is incorporated primarily into chylomicrons, which then enter the lymphatic system with subsequent entry into the blood. • In the blood: Chylomicrons transport around 40% of the cholecalciferol. • Some vitamin D may be transferred from the chylomicron to DBP for delivery to extrahepatic tissues.

Absorption, transport & storage • Cholecalciferol, which slowly diffuse from the skin into the blood, is picked up for transport by DBP . • About 60% of plasma cholecalciferol is bond to DBP for transport. • The vitamin D-DBP complex travels primarily to the liver but may be picked up by other tissues, especially muscle and adipose tissue, before hepatic uptake. • Cholecalciferol reaching the liver either by chylomicron remnant or by DBP typically is metabolized by a couple of different hydrolases to generate active form of the vitamin.

Absorption, transport & storage • In the liver: 25- hydroxylase functions in the mitochondria to hydroxylatecholecalciferol at carbon 25 to form 25-OH (vitamin) D3 (25-OH cholecalciferol). • The efficiency of the liver 25-hydroxylase appears to be related to vitamin D concentrations and its metabolites. • Liver expresses most of 25-hydroxylase, but the enzyme is found also in other organs (lungs, intestine & kidneys).

Vitamin d - Metabolism Synthesis of active form of vitamin D

1- α- hydroxylase

Metabolic functions of vitamin D • The principal function of vitamin D is to maintain the plasma concentration of calcium; calcitriol achieves this in three ways: ● increased intestinal absorption of calcium ● reduced excretion of calcium by stimulating resorption • in the distal renal tubules (due to increased vit. D synthesis)

Metabolic functions of vitamin D ● mobilization of bone mineral. synthesis and secretion of insulin, parathyroid, and thyroid hormones; ● inhibition of production of interleukin by activated T-lymphocytes and of immunoglobulin by activated • B-lymphocytes; differentiation of monocyte precursor cells; ● modulation of cell differentiation, proliferation and • apoptosis.

Vitamin D deficiency:rickets and osteomalacia Historically, rickets is a disease of toddlers, especially in northern industrial cities. Their bones are undermineralized as a result of poor absorption of calcium in the absence of adequate amounts of calcitriol. When the child begins to walk, the long bones of the legs are deformed, leading to bow-legs or knock knees. More seriously, rickets can also lead to collapse of the ribcage and deformities of the bones of the pelvis. Similar problems may also occur in adolescents who are deficient in vitamin D during the adolescent growth spurt, when there is again a high demand for calcium for new bone formation.

Vitamin D deficiency:rickets and osteomalacia • Osteomalacia is the adult equivalent of rickets. It results from the demineralization of bone, rather than the failure to mineralize it in the first place, as is the case with rickets. • Women who have little exposure to sunlight are especially at risk from osteomalacia after several pregnancies, because of the strain that pregnancy places on their marginal reserve of calcium. • Osteomalacia also occurs in the older people. The problem may be inadequate exposure to sunlight, but there is also evidence that the capacity to form 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin decreases with advancing age, so that older people are more reliant on the few dietary sources of vitamin D.

Interactions with drugs and other nutrients • Iron deficiency decreases in vitamin D absorption. • The interaction of calcitriol and vitamin K dependent protein. 2009 Cengage-Wadsworth

Toxicity • Tolerable upper intake level 50µg (2.000IU) per day. • Sign and symptoms: • Over absorption of calcium (hypercalcemia), increase calcium execration. • Calcium deposits in kidneys, heart and blood vessels. • In infants: anorexia, nausea, vomiting hypertension. 2009 Cengage-Wadsworth

Anete Ezera April 13, 2024

Ready to take on your thesis defense presentation? It’s not just about wrapping up years of study; it’s your moment to share your insights and the impact of your work. A standout presentation can make all the difference. It’s your chance to highlight the essentials and really connect with your audience.

This is where Prezi comes into play. Forget about flipping through slide after slide. With Prezi, you craft a narrative that pulls your audience in. It simplifies the complex, ensuring your key points hit home. Let’s explore how Prezi can help transform your thesis defense into a successful presentation.

What is a thesis defense presentation and why are they needed? 

Whether you’re preparing for a master’s thesis defense or a Ph.D. thesis defense, this final step in your academic journey is the one with the most significance, as it dramatically influences your final grade. It’s also your chance to display the dedication and effort you’ve put into your research, a way to demonstrate how significant your work is. 

So, why is this such a big deal? A good presentation helps convince your teachers that your research is solid and makes a difference in your field. It’s your time to answer questions, show that your research methods were sound, and point out what’s new and interesting about your work. In the end, a great thesis defense presentation helps you finish strong and makes sure you leave a lasting impression as you wrap up this chapter of your academic life.

Best practices for making a successful thesis defense presentation 

In order to craft a standout thesis defense presentation, you need to do more than just deliver research findings. Here are some key strategies to ensure success, and how Prezi can play a crucial role in elevating your presentation.

Start with a strong introduction

Kick-off with an engaging introduction that lays out your research question, its significance, and your objectives. This initial segment grabs attention and sets the tone. Using Prezi’s zoom feature can make your introduction pop by visually underscoring key points, helping your audience grasp the importance of your work right from the start.

Organize your presentation clearly

A coherent structure is essential for guiding your audience through your thesis defense presentation. Prezi can help by offering a map view of your content’s layout upfront, providing a clear path through your introduction, methodology, results, and conclusion. This clarity keeps your audience engaged and makes your arguments easier to follow.

Incorporate multimedia elements

Adding multimedia elements like videos, audio clips, and animations can greatly improve the appeal of your thesis defense presentation. Prezi supports the seamless integration of these elements, allowing you to bring your research to life in a more vibrant and engaging way. Videos can serve as powerful testimonials or demonstrations, while animations can help illustrate complex processes or changes over time. This variety keeps your audience engaged and helps convey your message in a more exciting way.

Simplify complex data

Your findings need to be presented in a way that’s easy for your audience to understand. Prezi shines here, with tools that transform intricate data into clear, engaging visuals. By implementing charts and graphs into your presentation, you can make your data stand out and support your narrative effectively.

Engage your audience

Make your thesis defense a two-way conversation by interacting with your audience. Whether it’s through questions, feedback, or direct participation, engagement is key. Prezi allows for a flexible presentation style, letting you navigate sections in response to audience input, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.

Highlight key takeaways

Emphasize the key takeaways of your research throughout your presentation to ensure your audience grasps the most critical aspects of your work. With Prezi, you can use spotlighting and strategic zooming to draw attention to these takeaways, making them stand out. This method helps reinforce your main points, ensuring they stick with your audience long after your presentation concludes. By clearly defining what your audience should remember, you guide their understanding and appreciation of your research’s value and implications.

Practice makes perfect

Confidence in delivery comes from thorough practice. Familiarize yourself with every aspect of your thesis defense presentation, including timing, voice control, and gestures. Prezi Video is a great tool for rehearsing, as it allows you to blend your presentation materials with your on-camera performance, mirroring the live defense setting and helping you polish your delivery.

End with a lasting impression

Conclude your presentation powerfully by summarizing your main findings, their implications, and future research directions. Prezi’s ability to zoom out and show the big picture at your conclusion helps reinforce how each section of your presentation contributes to your overall thesis, ensuring your research leaves a memorable impact on your audience.

By using these tips and taking advantage of what Prezi offers, you can make your thesis defense presentation really stand out. It’ll not only hit the mark with your audience but also clearly show why your research matters.

Embedd Excel workbook in PPT and modify while presenting

Hi everyone, I have this small economic model that changes according to certain inputs. It is an Excel with some worksheets. I embedded the file in PowerPoint and I display certain bits from the worksheets. If I change data in the input section in Excel, the data on my PPT will also update. I want this to happen also in presentation mode. I want the user to be able to modify the model while presenting, without going through too many steps, cause as of now, the only solution I found is to have the Excel open on one screen, change the data, go on the PPT(the editing window, not the presentation window) and manually updated the excel components by right-clicking and selecting "Update". Is there any other way to embed a similar object or an excel file into a presentation? I can't seem to find anything that works.

Dear Alexandru Popescu,

I understand your concern and to my knowledge, I would like to convey that there is no setting or feature in the PowerPoint to update the links in the presentation mode.

I agree with you having the ability to update the links in the PowerPoint presentation automatically during the presentation mode in the PowerPoint will benefit the users and I suggest you to add your valuable idea as a feedback in the  PowerPoint · Community (microsoft.com)  which is the best place to share our ideas and improve the Microsoft PowerPoint product.

In addition, I believe your requirement can be achieved with the help of the VBA, I request you give a shot by posting your concern in the Office 365 VBA community to get the detailed help from the Office 365 VBA experts. Reference:  Office VBA support and feedback | Microsoft Learn

In addition, I will keep this thread open so that PowerPoint MVPs and experts in this community can share their ideas on this requirement.

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

Best Regards,
