STUDIES ON VITAmN B 12 EXCRETION PATTERNS IN NUTRITIONAL MACROCYTIC ANEMIA

Experimental production of nutritional macrocytic anemia in swine. III. Further studies on pteroylglutamic acid deficiency.

An aggravation of folic acid deficiency by an administration of vitamin B12 upon children with nutritional dystrophy.

Some preceding papersl)2)3) from Our Laboratory showed that macrocytic anemia was not infrequently found among children with nutritional dystrophy at Hirosaki Area, Aomori Prefecture, and that folic acid deficiency was held as a contributing factor to the development of the macrocytic anemia in question. In 1956 Harris4) reported that clinical manifestations of folic acid deficiency such as glo...

Spontaneous Recovery from Nutritional Macrocytic Anemia in Young Swine following Initial Estrus.

Spontaneous recovery from a severe macrocytic anemia produced experimentally in young swine by a prolonged partial deficiency of the vitamin B-complex has not been reported previously. The present communication deals with such a study. or combination of synthetic factors has proven effective as the extrinsic factor. Due to the varied hematopoietic response of different species to the same treat...

Further observations on the specificity of the folic acid molecule.

BRANDENBURG, M.D.,* AND TOMAS ARAMBURU, M.D. I T HAS been established that pteroylglutamic acid (folic acid) stimulates the development of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets in a variety of animal species and in persons who have certain types of macrocytic anemia. Our studies of folic acid have been concerned chiefly with the striking hematologic response which follows its adminis...

Anemia, vitamin B12, folic acid and iron deficiency in children who can not feed themselves due to neurological disease

Sum mary Aim: To evaluate malnutrition, anemia and related deficiency of vitamin B12, iron and folic acid in children with neurological disease and related nutritional problems. Material and Method: In this study, our aim was to investigate anemia and possible reasons such as iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency among patients with nutritional problems who were admi...
