Optimal nutrition: vitamin E.
Interest in the role of vitamin E in disease prevention has encouraged the search for reliable indices of vitamin E status. Most studies in human subjects make use of static markers, usually alpha-tocopherol concentrations in plasma or serum. Plasma or serum alpha-tocopherol concentrations of < 11.6, 11.6-16.2, and > 16.2 mumol/l are normally regarded as indicating deficient, low and acceptable...
متن کاملOptimal nutrition: vitamin A and the carotenoids.
There are two major dietary sources of vitamin A: easily absorbed retinyl palmitate in foods of animal origin, and poorly bioavailable carotenoids from plant foods. Plasma retinol is tightly controlled, probably by regulation of retinol-binding protein (RBP) formation in the liver, and only hormonal factors (e.g. oral contraceptives) and infection will alter the homeostasis. Delivery of retinol...

متن کاملThe Assessment of Vitamin Nutrition
ciencies in human subjects. Chemical, physical, and biological methods have been elaborated during the-past few years for the assay of certain vitamins in body fluids. Chemical and optical methods offer the advantage of speed and reproducibility; the biological methods afford the most reliable means of estimating the physiological activity of the vitamins. Many of the methods that have been use...
متن کاملVitamin C Nutrition in Cattle
Domestic animals, including ruminants, can synthesize vitamin C (VC) in their liver; as such, the dietary requirement for VC has not been confirmed in these animals. The adequacy of VC has been evaluated by quantifying VC levels in plasma, but the reported values in bovine plasma have been widely variable. Plasma VC concentration is decreased by heat stress, hepatic lesions, fattening, and infe...
