Learning B Vitamins doesn't involve understanding any concepts--
just regurgitating keywords. Here's a mnemonic:
It's like finding a one-night stand at a bar.
First: you drink a beer, then see who you'd like to f#ck.
You don't NEED anything, B4 your PANTS cause a BURNing groin, and COpayments
for a BLOODy child birth.
Or: my beer
see f#ck don't need
B4 cause pants
live fire co blood
My beer means thiamine beri. Beer for alcoholic malnutrition.
Dry beriberi is paralytic atrophy (a dry wit). Wet beriberi is cardiac failure/edema (heart
pumps wet stuff).
See fock means “C F” C for cheilosis (lip inflammation)
and Corneal vascularization
F for FAD and FMN From riboFlavin (2ATP)
Don't need means 3Ds: Diarrhea, Dermatitis, and Dementia.
Need means *** from Niacin (3 ATP)
B4 means: don't worry about B4.
Cause pants means Co-A and pantothenate.
Live fire means liver (ALT + AST) and pyre means pyridoxine.
Co blood means cobalamin: big anemia.
My beer, see f#ck, don't need, be4, cause pants, live fire, co blood.
This mnemonic organization IS convoluted, but it's still easier than arbitrary keyword
association. Now go get drunk!
