and immature metabolic processes. The opposite is also true that these preterm infants are at higher risk for toxicity due to immature and compromised renal function. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin A (Retinol) is known to play an essential role in the growth...
Similarly, most of the ssIGCST-dominant bacterial species positively correlated with vitamin supplementation (Supplementary Table 12), thus highlighting the relevant role played by these trace elements in sustaining infant gut microbiota metabolism70. In addition to mineral salts and vitamins, other ...
Analysis of stool has long been a diagnostic tool across a number of disease states. Currently, there are two stool scales in clinical use, the Bristol Stool Scale and the Amsterdam Infant Stool Scale. However, the existing categorizations for stool may not sufficiently cover the broad range of...
PJA, AA, ASG, MM, VP and VL contributed to the design of shotgun genomic DNA microarrays. PJA and ASG constructed the genomic library and PJA, AA, ASG and MM contributed to the microarray construction. PJA, AA, MM and EG contributed to the optimisation of the hybridisation procedure. The...
By using ascorbate (a.k.a. vitamin C), infant mortality was virtually eliminated. Frederick R. Klenner of Reidsville, North Carolina, also virtually banished infant mortality by giving mothers 5-15 grams of ascorbic acid daily. Deficiency of zinc in mothers could be one reason for boys’ ...

The standard therapy for PA management mainly includes a low-protein diet, the use of antibiotics to reduce gut propionate production from intestinal microbiota, L-carnitine, precursor-free amino acid and/or isoleucine/valine supplementation, as well as vitamin and mineral supplementation [4,5]. Amo...
Vitamin requirements for infant formula as per EU legislation are given in Table 5. Table 5. Vitamin requirements for infant formula [14]. Similar to minerals, infant formula must be fortified with vitamins in the case that the innate vitamin contents of the raw materials (proteins, carbohydrat...
After centrifuging at 3500 rcf for 10 min at room temperature, cell suspensions were resuspended in medium containing 15 mM KCl; 136 mM KH2PO4; 10 mM K2HPO4·3H2O; 0.5 mM MgSO4·7H2O; 24 mM NaHCO3; 22 mM glucose; 1 mM glutamine; 1× RPMI 1640 vitamin mix (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck...
