Micronutrients and Alzheimer's disease.
The current high life expectancy is overshadowed by neurodegenerative illnesses that lead to dementia and dependence. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common of these conditions, and is considered to be a proteinopathy, with amyloid-beta42 as a key factor, leading via a cascade of events to neurodegeneration. Major factors involved are oxidative stress, perturbed Ca homeostasis and impaired...
متن کاملMicronutrients in health and disease.
Micronutrients play a central part in metabolism and in the maintenance of tissue function. An adequate intake therefore is necessary, but provision of excess supplements to people who do not need them may be harmful. Single micronutrient deficiency states are comparatively easily recognised and treated. Subclinical deficiency, often of multiple micronutrients, is more difficult to recognise, a...

With regard to environmental risk factors, there has been significant interest related to the role of diet, nutrition, and nutrients on the o...
متن کاملLipid peroxidation and plasma antioxidant micronutrients in Crohn disease.
BACKGROUND In Crohn disease (CD), the increased production of reactive oxygen species from activated neutrophils may reduce plasma concentrations of antioxidant vitamins and result in increased oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE We compared lipid peroxidation, a measure of reactive-oxygen-species production, and plasma antioxidant vitamin concentrations between CD patients and healthy control subjec...

For many years after its discovery vitamin E remained a mysterious vitamin, and it took over four decades before it was proved that vitamin E deficiency could cause disease in humans. In recent years, vitamin E has been linked to several distinct clinical problems in humans, including haemolytic anaem...
