Explanation

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant, which prevents production of reactive O during fat synthesis. If this is permitted, the fats will be destroyed that will lead to shedding of myelin sheath: spinocerebellar ataxia. Vitamin D causes rickets due to lack of cholecalciferol. Deficiency of B3(niacin) causes slower metabolic rates and eventually pellagra. Vitamin K, which is found in abundance in green leafy vegetables, is essentially required for post-translational modification. It is known as phylloquinone and its deficiency causes blood related issues.
