Stage I: Low serum level. You have low levels of vitamin B12 in your blood. You have no B12 deficiency symptoms. Stage II: Low cell-store. You have low levels of B12 in your cells. Stage III: Biochemical deficiency. You have higher levels of the chemicals homocysteine and methylmalonicaci...
A low serum folate level (<7.1 ng/mL) was associated with a higher risk of CVD mortality. In addition, both low (<369.1 pg/mL) and high (≥506.1 pg/mL) serum levels of vitamin B12 were associated with a higher risk of CVD mortality. A variety of stratified analyses and sensitivity ...
If B12 is the only reason we used to need meat, and we can now supplement with B12 and avoid meat entirely, do we maximize health by doing so? Studies like the Adventist Health Study, mentioned above, point to “yes,” but still with some hesitation over causality versus correlation. But...
Conclusions Initial and isolated screening for vitamin B12 deficiency using a HoloTC cut-off of ≥50 pmol/L in a small subset of patients may reveal false-negative (normal) results, meaning that patients with vitamin B12 deficiency may remain undetected....
Sometimes B12 replacement turns painful. Why?As blood cells heal they use more potassium,causing your potassium levels to fall. As a result you may feel weak, even have painful muscle spasms. But,potassium foodsare some of the best, so it’s easy to raise your level. ...
Is use of a "pillbox" effective or is that overdoing it (possible also too "medicalizing" on a psychological level)? What advice does different vegan oriented website offer? How is the message structured (comparisons of different strategies can be useful here). The fact that the negative effe...

All other children moved on to the level 2 story unless the tester felt that they had difficulty with reading the practice passage. If the child made less than 3 errors on the level 2 story, the tester moved on to level 3. If, however, the child made 3 or more errors on level 2,...
Recent func- tional analyses of BnaWER homologs (SG15) indicate that genes derived from the same subfamily, which share high sequence similarity and similar expression patterns, frequently show functional redundancy [29]. However, further research is necessary to elucidate the biological meaning and ...
