Photobiology of vitamins
Abstract
This review explores contemporary ideas about the relationship between light exposure and vitamin biology. Nutritional biochemistry has long recognized the relationship between vitamins A and D and light exposure, but in recent years other vitamins have also been implicated in photoresponsive biological mechanisms that influence health, well-being, and even evolutionary processes. Interactions between light and vitamins can modify genotype-phenotype relationships across the life cycle, providing a basis for interesting new explanations relevant to wide aspects of human biology. This review examines both well-established and emerging ideas about vitamin photobiology in the context of the following: (1) light responsiveness of vitamin D (photosynthesized in skin), vitamin A (linked to vision), and vitamin B3 (needed to repair genomic damage); (2) vulnerability of folate and vitamins B1, B2, B12, and D to ultraviolet (UV) light (all potentially degraded); (3) protective/filtering actions of carotenoids and vitamins C and E, which act as antioxidants and/or natural sunscreens, against UV light; (4) role of folate, carotenoids, and vitamins A, B3, C, D, and E in UV-related genomic regulation, maintenance, and repair; (5) role of folate and vitamins A, B2, B12, and D in a range of light-signaling and light-transduction pathways; and (6) links between folate and vitamin D and the evolution of UV light-adaptive phenotypes.

Folate and vitamin D are structurally and metabolically discrete but both are photosensitive.
“However, they are linked in that both are photosensitive.”

Reduced folate vitamers are photodegraded by both UV-B and longer UV-A wavelengths.
“By contrast, reduced folate vitamers are photodegraded by both UV‐B and longer UV‐A wavelengths (Lucock et al., 2018; Lucock, 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
