Mechanism of vitamin B12 uptake by erythocytes.
Pitney, Beard, and Van Loon (2) and Ostrowski, Skarzynski, and Zak (3) reported in 1954 that vitamin B12 is bound primarily to a-globulin in normal serum. Pitney and his colleagues (2) also noted that p-globulin can bind B12 added in vitro, but they considered this as "free B12" because, unlike B12 bound to a-globulin, Euglena gracilis is able to utilize it without prior heat treatment. Miller ...
متن کاملOn the mechanism of catalysis by vitamin B12.
The requirements for alkylation and binding of nitrogenous ligands to cobalamins and cobinamides suggest that the central cobalt atom can exist either approximately in the plane of the corrin or axially displaced above this plane. Distortion of the normal octahedral complex by axial displacement results when the dimethylbenzimidazole moiety of the coenzyme is prevented from coordinating with th...
متن کاملFed-Batch Production of a Fermented Beverage Containing Vitamin B12
Production of fermented functional foods containing micronutrients is required for their health beneficial properties. The impact of 11 process variables on vitamin B12 production in a dairy beverage containing propionic acid was investigated. Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. shermanii was applied in a 3-l fermentor in the fed-batch fermentation system. The most suitable conditions for...
متن کاملExperiences with dual protein bound aqueous vitamin B12 absorption test in subjects with low serum vitamin B12 concentrations.
A dual isotope vitamin B12 absorption test in which vitamin B12 is given both in aqueous solution and bound to protein (chicken serum), was evaluated in 26 controls and 68 patients with subnormal serum vitamin B12 concentrations (19 with pernicious anaemia, 13 with iron deficiency, seven after partial gastrectomy, seven with malabsorptive states, five with folate deficiency, four with chronic a...
متن کاملOral vitamin B12 versus intramuscular vitamin B12 for vitamin B12 deficiency.
BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 deficiency is common, and the incidence increases with age. Most people with vitamin B12 deficiency are treated in primary care with intramuscular (IM) vitamin B12. Doctors may not be prescribing oral vitamin B12 formulations because they may be unaware of this option or have concerns regarding its effectiveness. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of oral vitamin B12 vers...
