Most dietary riboflavin is consumed as a complex of food protein with FMN and FAD (Merrill et al., 1981; Nichoalds, 1981). In the stomach, gastric acidification releases most of the coenzyme forms of riboflavin (FAD and FMN) from the protein.
Plasma osmolarity: The osmolarity of blood plasma, which is a measure of the hydration status. The plasma osmolarity is sensitive to changes in hydration status during dehydration and rehydration.The normal plasma osmolarity is in the range of 280-300 mOs/kg.lasma osmolarity: The osmolarity of blood plasma, which is a measure of the hydration status. The plasma osmolarity is sensitive to changes in hydration status during dehydration and rehydration.
Produced by the hypothalamus in the brain; stored and released by the anterior pituitary when blood osmolarity increases (might occur due to excessive sweating or other water loss); increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water; causes more water to be reabsorbed back into the circulatory system
