It integrates several disciplines (mainly taxonomic botany, ethnobotany, extractive and structural chemistry, and experimental and clinical pharmacology) to investigate the therapeutic properties attributed by traditional knowledge to all kinds of natural products, either currently or formerly used. “EU BIOECONOMY” STRATEGY (See POLICIES AND STRATEGIES) EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL (See POLICIES AND STRATEGIES) EXOCRINE COMPARTMENT (See PANCREAS / Exocrine pancreas) EXOCRINE FRACTION (See PANCREAS / Exocrine pancreas) EXOCRINE PANCREAS (See PANCREAS) EXTRINSIC PATHWAY (See HAEMOSTASIA) FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS Despite differences in their chemical structure, vitamins are classified into two major groups: liposoluble and hydrosoluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed by fats and are the A, D, E, and K vitamins. They are passively absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and conveyed by lipoproteins called chylomicrons. They are generally stored in the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle, and eliminated via faeces. The other group are the hydrosoluble ones (vitamins B and C) which are soluble in water.
