vitamin b 12 deficiency/triglyceride

The pathophysiology of cholerrheic enteropathy is described and a series of patients reviewed. Of 11 patients with chronic disabling diarrhea and steatorrhea after ileal resection or bypass, two had recurrent ileitis, three had lactose intolerance and six of those operated on five years or more

High consumption of vegetables and fruits is associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. However, little information is available about diets based predominantly on consumption of fruits and their health consequences. We investigated the effects of an extremely high dietary intake of

BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia and hyper-homocysteinemia are the major independent risk factors of cardio vascular disease. Deficiency of folate and vitamin B-12 are associated with both hyper-homocysteinemia and dyslipidemia. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship of homocysteine and its

1. The triglyceride, cholesterol ester and total phospholipid fractions were isolated from the livers and yolk sacs of normal and vitamin B(12)-deficient chick embryos after 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 days of incubation, and the fatty acid compositions were determined. 2. At all stages of incubation, the

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. C677T mutation at the MTHFR gene and deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B-12 may account for elevation of total homocysteine (tHcy). Ninety Brazilian Parkatêjê Indians (90.0% of the population without admixture, aged > or = 20

BACKGROUND Conventional tests for vitamin B(12) deficiency measure total serum vitamin B12, whereas only that portion of vitamin B12 carried by transcobalamin (holotranscobalamin) is metabolically active. Measurement of holotranscobalamin (holoTC) may be more diagnostically accurate for detecting
