Vitamin BIZ deficiency and the excretion of ether - soluble acids in the rat
نویسنده
چکیده
I . Urinary excretion of total ether-soluble acids and of methylmalonic acid was studied in rats on vitamin BI2-deficient diets with and without a vitamin Blz supplement. 2. It was shown that urinary excretion of total ether-soluble acids and methylmalonic acid was increased in vitamin R1,-deficient rats and that this increase was somewhat variable between individual animals, males and females, and rats from different litters. 3. The increased excretion of these acids could readily be reversed by supplementing the diet with vitamin B12,

I . There were statistically-significant relationships between the concentrations of vitamin Blz in the livers of rats and their urinary excretion of mcthylmalonic acid, both before and after the intraperitoneal injection of sodium propionate. 2. The effects of diets based on raw and heated soya-bean flour (SBF) on the growth rates, urinary excretion of methylmalonate and hepatic vitamin BIZ we...

Poly(ether ether ketone) with cardo group-based (PEEK-WC) membranes, in hollow fber (HF) confguration, were prepared via the dry-wet spinning technique through the phase inversion process and used to clarify kiwifruit juice. The depectinised juice was processed according to a batch concentration confguration in selected operating conditions (transmembrane pressure, 1.6 ...
متن کاملAn effect of vitamin B 12 deficiency in tissue culture.
Rat glial cells were grown in tissue culture in vitamin BW deficient medium. As the intracellular level of coenzyme Bls decreased, the cells made increasing amounts of two unusual fatty acids. The fatty acids were unbranched acids with 15 and 17 carbon atoms and arose as the cells progressively lost the ability to metabolize propionic acid through the BIz-requiring methylmalonyl-CoA mutase reac...
متن کاملThe effect of water deficiency and salinity on the growth and quality of fresh dill (Anethum graveolens L.) during autumn and spring cultivation
The aim of this experiment was to determine the response of dill (Anethum graveolens L.) towater deficiency and salinity. In spring, dill biomass decreased with increasing water deficiencydue to a reduction in the number and mean weight of leaves per plant. The concentrations ofchlorophyll, carotenoids, vitamin C and total phenolics within the leaves were unaffected bywater stress, but the Cl, ...
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...
