Based on biochemical evidence, a high prevalence of biochemical evidence of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency has been reported in a number of areas in the world. The evidence that these biochemical abnormalities lead to a comparable prevalence of anemia is reviewed. The overall contribution of vitam...
Many children in low- and middle-income countries may have inadequate intake of vitamin B12 and folate; data confirming these inadequacies are limited. We used biochemical, demographic, behavioral and anthropometric data to describe the folate and vitamin B12 concentrations among six- to 23-month-old...
High Neutrophil Symptoms Symptoms of neutrophilia depend on the underlying cause. If you have a high neutrophil count because of inflammation, infection, medication side effects, or cancer, you may have the following symptoms: Fever of 100.4 degrees F or higher Infections that keep coming back Woun...

Serum folate and vitamin B12 levels in chronic alcoholics. These findings indicated that the incidence of folic acid deficiency in the chronic alcoholics was quite high, which was probably due to dietary deficiency, folate malabsorption and interference by alcohol in folate metabolism. All these ......
In addition to iron-rich foods, foods that have high folate, vitamin B12, or vitamin B6 content may also help increase hemoglobin levels. Foods that contain vitamin A, vitamin C, or beta-carotene may help the body absorb iron better. Food that may help increase hemoglobin levels include: ...
What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common causes of anemia include: Loss of blood (traumatic injury, surgery, bleeding, colon cancer, or stomach ulcer) Nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin B12, folate) Bone marrow problems (replacement of bone marrow by cancer) Suppression by ...
After supplementation, serum/plasma levels of folate, vitamin B12, PLP and homocysteine were again determined. Prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia (>15 mu mol/l) was 32%. Similarly percent values of folate deficiency (<3.5ng/ml), vitamin B6 deficiency (PLP<20 nmol/l) and vitamin B12 ...
Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal, we evaluated the effects of chronical supplementation with high-dose folic acid on physiological events such as life cycle and egg-laying capacity and folate metabolism. Supplementation of high-dose folic acid significantly reduced egg-laying capacity. The...
Other than a lack of iron, anemia also results from other micronutrient deficiencies such as vitamins B12 and B9 (folate), or less frequently vitamin A, vitamin B6, or copper [30]. These vitamins and minerals are all important for the production of red blood cells. B Vitamins and Anemia ...
