Ketones?[edit]

The Functions table has a link to the page on "Ketones" in the entry for B5. Should this instead be a link to the page on Ketone Bodies (synthesis of which depends on CoA)? Myoglobin (talk) 22:22, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I'll change the link since "Ketone bodies" seems more specific and relevant than the entire category of "ketones". Correct me if it should be both ketone bodies and all ketones in general. Myoglobin (talk) 22:30, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PQQ[edit]

There is no section on PQQ here. I will add one in the next few days. Meel11223 (talk) 15:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

B vitamin[edit]

Which B vitamins are essential? Tirthankar de (talk) 12:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All vitamins, by definition, are essential. The B vitamins listed in the tables in this article are essential. If something that was once called a vitamin is discovered to be non-essential, it is no longer considered a vitamin. Dcs002 (talk) 19:54, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cerebral folate deficiency[edit]

See also: Cerebral folate deficiency, in which the levels of folate are normal in blood samples, but decreased in cerebrospinal fluid. A similar condition has recently been reported for vitamin B12, but not published yet. I'm not sure whether these are worthy of inclusion in this article, so I'm leaving a comment here.
