Vitamin A is essential in a wide spectrum of physiological activities such as clear retinal vision [13], skin health [14], immune system [15], reproduction [16], and embryonic development as previously reviewed in [16,17,18,19].
Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural polymers of flavan-3-ols, commonly (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin. However, exactly how PA oligomerization proceeds is poorly understood. Here we show, both biochemically and genetically, that ascorbate (AsA) is a
Vitamin D has been associated with a variety of human complex traits and diseases in observational studies, but a causal relationship remains unclear. To examine a putative causal effect of vitamin D across phenotypic domains and disease categories, we conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses ...
