First sentence: Fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants (FSVAs) are a structurally diverse group of compounds (Fig. 1) that play important roles in a wide spectrum of biochemical and physiological processes, e.g., photoreception (vitamin A, retinol); plasma calcium homeostasis (vitamin D2, ergocalciferol; vitamin D3, cholecalciferol); and blood clotting (vitamin K1, phylloquinone).
