Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a precursor of the well-known coenzyme of central metabolic pathways thiamine diphosphate (ThDP). Highly intense glucose oxidation in the brain requires ThDP-dependent enzymes, which determines the critical significance of thiamine for neuronal functions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin C is used as a coenzyme in hydroxylation reactions, such as in the hydroxylation of prolyl and lysyl residues of collagen. It is required for the maintenance of normal connective tissue as well as for wound healing. Vitamin C assists in the absorption of dietary iron by reducing ferric iron to the ferrous form.
