“Vitamin C inhibits cell division and growth through production of hydrogen peroxide, which damages the cells probably through an as yet unidentified free radical(s) generation/mechanism.”

vitamin C → inhibits → cell division and growth

“Oxidation of retinol provides retinal, which is essential for vision, and retinoic acid, a transcription factor ligand that has important roles in regulating genes involved in cell morphogenesis, differentiation, and proliferation.”

retinal → is essential for → vision

“O zinco possibilita várias funções bioquímicas, pois é componente de inúmeras enzimas, dentre estas, álcool desidrogenase, superóxido dismutase, anidrase carbônica, fosfatase alcalina e enzimas do sistema nervoso central. Participa na divisão celular, expressão genética, processos fisiológicos como crescimento e desenvolvimento, na transcrição genética, na morte celular, age como estabilizador de estruturas de membranas e componentes celulares, além de participar da função imune e desenvolvimento cognitivo.”

zinc → participates in → cell division, gene expression, physiological processes, genetic transcription, cell death, membrane and cellular component stabilization, immune function, and cognitive development
