OBJECTIVE
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with marked decreases in caloric intake and a corresponding reduction in body weight due to abnormal self body image. Although counterintuitive, hypoalbuminemia and vitamin deficiencies are not expected consequences of this disorder. Etiologic
Biochemical, vitamin, trace element and immunological changes were searched for the combined nutritional deficiency of vitamins B1, B2, B6 on in vivo models in rats and mice. Female rats of Wistar (W) strain and hybrids of the 1st generation of Dark Aguti and Wistar (DA x W) strains, female mice of
Plasma concentrations of most vitamins decrease as part of the systemic inflammatory response (SIR). Thus low plasma values do not necessarily indicate deficiency. Vitamin B6 status is usually assessed by measurement of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) in plasma, although vitamin BACKGROUND
Vitamin deficiency is frequently associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Supplementation of vitamins could thus serve as an adjunctive therapy. The present meta-analysis reviews the deficiencies and alterations in serum fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) reported in IBD
BACKGROUND
Due to its reliable effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has recently been investigated as a treatment option for nonseverely obese patients with T2DM (body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m(2)). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and to correlate the findings with various demographic and renal osteodystrophy markers.
METHODS
This cross-sectional, multicenter study was carried out in
Background: Intravenous iron replacement is recommended for iron-deficient patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but may be associated with hypophosphataemia, predisposing to osteomalacia and fractures. This study aimed to
BACKGROUND
Hypovitaminosis D (hypoD) is a vitamin deficiency that has been rising in the developed countries, due not only to inappropriate eating habits, but also because of lower sun exposure and lack of exercise.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and to analyze
Indices of nutritional state were measured in 105 surgical patients. The indices were chosen to give information on protein-calorie malnutrition, anaemia, vitamin deficiency. Abnormal values for the various indices were common in the group as a whole and most frequent (50%) in patients who were
We investigated the fat-soluble-vitamin status during the first year of life in 36 infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) consecutively identified by screening of newborns. At initial evaluation (at age 51.0 +/- 26.7 d) 36% of patients were hypoalbuminemic, 21% had low serum retinol, 35% had low serum
BACKGROUND
Folate and cobalamin are essential cofactors for homocysteine (HCY) metabolism. Hyperhomocysteinemia, a multifactorial condition, may reflect B vitamin deficiency and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, thrombosis, and neurodegenerative and chronic
BACKGROUND
Vitamin D deficiency has been reported among patients with tuberculosis in Africa despite abundant sunshine. Vitamin D plays a fundamental role in improving anti tuberculosis immunity, reducing progression and severity of TB in humans.
METHODS
In this descriptive cross sectional study,
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are dependent on i.v. vitamin K supplementation to prevent deficiency. Vitamin K deficiency may contribute to the development of a hypercoagulable state by limiting hepatic synthesis of fully functional carboxylated anticoagulant
Comparison of studies on the elderly is difficult. This study is one of the largest done on healthy, ambulatory persons aged 65 and up. Findings indicate that most laboratory values in elderly persons fall in the normal range. A significantly abnormal test result should raise the suspicion of
