متن کاملPlasma exchange induces vitamin D deficiency.
BACKGROUND Plasma exchange is used in the treatment of diseases mediated by pathogenic circulating proteins, or for transplant desensitization. Its non-targeted nature results in the depletion of physiologically important molecules, and it is often complicated by hypocalcaemia. AIM To determine the effects of plasma exchange on vitamin D binding protein (DBP) and associated vitamin D metaboli...

متن کاملVitamin C Deficiency Reduces Muscarinic Receptor Coronary Artery Vasoconstriction and Plasma Tetrahydrobiopterin Concentration in Guinea Pigs
Vitamin C (vitC) deficiency is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, but its specific interplay with arteriolar function is unclear. This study investigates the effect of vitC deficiency in guinea pigs on plasma biopterin status and the vasomotor responses in coronary arteries exposed to vasoconstrictor/-dilator agents. Dunkin Hartley female guinea pigs (n = 32) were randomized...
متن کاملRegulation of Vitamin C Homeostasis during Deficiency
