Body composition of rats in B-vitamin deficiencies

Effect of vitamin B12 on the body composition of rats.

Of the numerous reports on vitamin B12, few deal with its metabolic role. The results of Bosshardt (l), Chow (2), McCollum (3), and Rupp (4) and their associates suggest that vitamin Blz may be involved in the utilization of carbohydrates and its transformation to fat rather than in protein metabolism. In this communication we wish to present some data which serve as additional evidence to subs...

Toward Eradication of B-Vitamin Deficiencies: Considerations for Crop Biofortification

‘Hidden hunger’ involves insufficient intake of micronutrients and is estimated to affect over two billion people on a global scale. Malnutrition of vitamins and minerals is known to cause an alarming number of casualties, even in the developed world. Many staple crops, although serving as the main dietary component for large population groups, deliver inadequate amounts of micronutrients. Biof...

Metabolic evidence that deficiencies of vitamin B-12 (cobalamin), folate, and vitamin B-6 occur commonly in elderly people.

Measurements of the serum concentrations of the metabolites homocysteine, cystathionine, methylmalonic acid, and 2-methylcitric acid, which accumulates when vitamin B-12-, folate-, and vitamin B-6-dependent enzymatic reactions are impaired, should provide a better indication of intracellular deficiency of these vitamins. We measured the serum concentration of these vitamins and the four metabol...
