BACKGROUND Micronutrients play an important role in immune function. To our knowledge, there have been no comprehensive studies on the role of micronutrient supplementation in children with tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE We assessed the effect of micronutrient supplementation in children treated with antituberculosis therapy (ATT). DESIGN A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that u...

In order to study effect of phosphorus fertilizer and micronutrients foliar application on yield sorghum, a field experiment was conducted in at 2011 in Research Farm of Payame Noor University of Zahedan, Iran.

To establish whether there is new evidence to inform changes to WHO 2003 recommendations for micronutrient intake in persons with HIV/AIDS, we conducted a narrative review of the literature published from 2003 to 2010. Although the review focused on new randomized controlled trials of multiple micronutrients in HIV-infected adults, including pregnant and lactating women, we also considered rand...

A study was designed to evaluate the micronutrients status of soils of district Palandri, Azad Kashmir and to correlate the micronutrients with Physico-chemical characteristics of soil as well as to categorize the soils as high, medium and low in Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn and HWS B. Soil samples were collected from thirty wheat fields and thirty apple orchard soils during 2003. None of the soil sample was...

BACKGROUND Research has shown micronutrient deficiency to be scientifically linked to a higher risk of overweight/obesity and other dangerous and debilitating diseases. With more than two-thirds of the U.S. population overweight or obese, and research showing that one-third are on a diet at any given time, a need existed to determine whether current popular diet plans could protect followers fr...

in order to evaluate effects of iron, zinc and manganese, and the methods of applying them on yield and yield components of sweet corn (zea mays saccharata), an experiment was performed as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research farm of urmia university. experimental factors were micronutrient fertilizers with four levels (control, iron, zinc a...

osteoporosis as a skeletal disorder characterize by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture. all people should be encouraged to take efforts to prevent bone loss and fractures. nutrition is one of several factors that can be modified to reduce osteoporosis risk. the purpose of this review article is assessment the role of the other nutrients the exceptio...

There is growing evidence that micronutrient intake has a significant effect on the toxicity and carcinogenesis caused by various chemicals. This paper examines the effect of micronutrient status on the toxicity of four nonessential metals: cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic. Unfortunately, few studies have directly examined the effect of dietary deficiency or supplementation on metal toxicity...

progressive usage of medicinal plants has necessitated their mass production using the minimum amounts of chemical inputs. to find out the effects of urea and pelleted animal manure and some micronutrients on yield and its components in pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the research farm of abouraihan campus, university of tehran in 2011. the ...
