Vitamins are essential organic compounds
that the animal organism is not capable of forming itself, although it requires them in small amounts for metabolism.
Most vitamins are precursors of coenzymesprecursors of hormones
or act a antioxidants

Vitamin requirements
vary from species to species and are influenced by age, sex, and physiological conditions such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, physical exercise, and nutrition.
:Vitamins are classified as
The lipid-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K
the water-soluble vitamin include vitamins B1(thiamin) ,B2 (riboflavin),folic acid (folcine),
H(biotin) .

Vitamin H (biotin)
present in liver, egg yolk, and other foods. synthesized by the intestinal flora.

Biochemical role of biotin:
In the body, biotin is covalently attached via a lysine side chain to enzymethat catalyze carboxylation reactions.
Biotin-dependent carboxylases include pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
CO2 binds, using up ATP, to one of the two N atoms of biotin.
Play an important role in fat, amino acid,and carbohydrate metabolism.

Biotin deficiency
• Biotin deficiency is extremely rare.• Some potential causes of biotin deficiency are:
intravenous feeding .eating raw egg whites on a regular basis.carboxylase deficiency.Supplementing with biotin appears
• helpful for the treatment of this deficiency.
