Background:
Subclinical micronutrient deficiencies remain a hidden aspect of malnutrition for which comprehensive data are lacking. Defining subclinical micronutrient deficiencies requires considering the prevalence of inflammation and its implications for the interpretation of micronutrient

Minimal human data exist on actual liver vitamin A compared with blood biomarkers. One blood biomarker, the percent of total serum retinol (vitamin A) in the form of retinyl esters, has been suggested to diagnose hypervitaminosis A with cutoffs of 5% and 10%. In this study, investigators aim to
Periodontitis is a chronic oral infection that results in the breakdown of connective tissue and alveolar bone that support the teeth. Bacteria and the body's own immune system mediate the severity of periodontitis, where teeth may become loose, fall out or have to be removed. Sanative therapy is a
