Vitamin A is important for growth, function and structure of skin and mucous membranes, blood, metabolism and for the visual process. Wrong, however, is the conclusion that, if a little vitamin A is good, even better would be more. A survey shows, vitamin A has on energy production in cells of a decisive influence. Not only a lack, but also too much of the nutrient can have a negative effect on the complex human body.
This result is even more important now than many foods and beverages, dietary supplements and creams are enriched with vitamin A – so that an overdose is more likely today than ever before. “Can have our work illustrates the benefits, but also the potential harm, the vitamin A supplement in cosmetic creams and food supplements,” says Ulrich Hammerling, co-author of the study by the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York. “Although very rare in our society a vitamin A deficiency could cause an overdose of this vitamin to a significant dysregulation of energy production, which affect both cell growth and cell death would be.”
The importance of vitamin A for human consumption and development of babies in the womb has long been known. So far, however, was unclear why both a deficit and an overdose can damage the organs in such a serious way. The discovery of Hammerling and colleagues not only explains why there are such effects, but it also brings insights into the anti-cancer effect of vitamin A.
