Vitamin C Deficiency Leading to Hemodynamically Significant Bleeding
Vitamin C deficiency generally results from little to no intake of ascorbic acid, and it often presents with small-volume bleeding. Rarely vitamin C deficiency causes hemodynamically significant bleeding. Here we present a middle-aged man who was admitted to the hospital several times for hypotension, recurring lower extremity ecchymoses, and persistent anemia. Extensive workup from previous ho...
متن کاملVitamin D deficiency and stroke
Vitamin D comprises a group of fat-soluble pro-hormones, obtained from sun exposure, food, and supplements, and it must undergo two hydroxylation reactions to be activated in the body. Several studies have shown the role of vitamin D in mineral metabolism regulation, especially calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. Some factors such as inadequate vitamin intake and liver or kidney disorders...
متن کاملProteome-Driven Elucidation of Adaptive Responses to Combined Vitamin E and C Deficiency in Zebrafish
The purpose of this study was to determine the system-wide consequences of deficiencies in two essential micronutrients, vitamins E and C, on the proteome using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as one of the few vertebrate models that similar to humans cannot synthesize vitamin C. We describe a label-free proteomics workflow to detect changes in protein abundance estimates dependent on vitamin regimes. ...
متن کاملVitamin C deficiency activates the purine nucleotide cycle in zebrafish.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) is a cofactor for many important enzymatic reactions and a powerful antioxidant. AA provides protection against oxidative stress by acting as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species, either directly or indirectly by recycling of the lipid-soluble antioxidant, α-tocopherol (vitamin E). Only a few species, including humans, guinea pigs, and zebrafish, cannot synthesiz...
متن کاملImpaired Ability of Patients with Familial Isolated Vitamin E Deficiency
Plasma and lipoprotein a-tocopherol concentrations of four patients with familial isolated vitamin E deficiency and six control subjects were observed for 4 d after an oral dose (15 mg) of RRR-a-tocopheryl acetate labeled with six deuterium atoms (d6-tocopherol). Chylomicron d6-tocopherol concentrations were similar in the two groups. d6-Tocopherol concentrations of plasma, very low (VLDL), low...
