diabetes is a major health problem worldwide. type ii diabetic patients are reported to have higher ferritin and lower vitamin c concentrations. considering the role of ascorbic acid in carnitine biosynthesis and the limited information on free carnitine correlations with ferritin and vitamin c levels in diabetic patients without microvascular complications, this case-control study was conducte...

background: vitamin c levels are low in pregnancy. the purpose of this study was to determine serum vitamins c levels among pregnant women attending antenatal care at a general hospital in dawakin kudu, kano, and this can help further research to determine the place of vitamin c supplementation in pregnancy. methods: this was a prospective study of 400 pregnant women who presented for antenatal...

Topical therapy continues to be one of the pillars of psoriasis management. Topical corticosteroids and vitamin D analogs are the drugs of choice during the induction phase, and vitamin D analogs continue to be drugs of choice for maintenance therapy. Tazarotene and dithranol are suitable options in patients with certain, specific characteristics. The calcineurin inhibitors can be considered to...

The exploration of vitamin D metabolism and function has led to the discovery of active forms of vitamin D that find great usefulness in treating patients with bone disease or renal failure and also perhaps in topical application for the treatment of skin disorders, such as psoriasis. It may also be effective in some types of autoimmune disease. This warrants our attention to maintaining an ade...

Vitamin E has been used for more than 50 years in experimental and clinical dermatology. While a large number of case reports were published in this time, there is still a lack of controlled clinical studies providing a rationale for well defined dosages and clinical indications. In contrast, advances in basic research on the physiology, mechanism of action, penetration, bioconversion and photo...

In this study the chemical properties of B6C4Si and C16 Clusters connected vitamin C have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). NMR parameters and HOMO- LUMO Gap energy are calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311G* basis set. Calculations show that HOMO- LUMO Gap energy of vitamin C decreases after connecting to B6C4Si or C16 cluster decreasing of HOM...

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of frozen-thawed bull semen processed with extenders containing vitamin C and E as antioxidants. Pooled semen's were collected from 5 bulls and diluted to a concentration of 30 × 106 sperm/mL with citrate –egg yolk (CEY) or Tris – egg yolk (TEY) extenders. The diluted semen was divided to 5 aliquots including control and 4 experimental groups....
