Poor income was found as a risk factor only in erythrocyte folate deficiency while increasing age was a significant factor only in vitamin C deficiency.ConclusionThe prevalence of vitamin deficiencies among older Thai people was quite different from that found in Western countries, reflecting different...
Propionibacterium freudenreichii NCC 1177 showed highest vitamin B12 production in sunflower seed milk out of a range of food-grade propionibacteria. Its growth and B12 production capacity, however, were limited by a lack of accessible carbon sources and stimulants of B12 biosynthesis in the plant...
The discovery of thiamine and indeed vitamins in general began with Eijkman’s early studies of the causes of beriberi in Java [24]. Eijkman originally sought a bacterial cause of the disease, a logical conclusion at the time, as diseases arising from nutrient deficiency had not yet been reco...

Vitamin D is a key molecule in calcium and phosphate homeostasis; however, increasing evidence has recently shown that it also plays a crucial role in the immune system, both innate and adaptive. A deregulation of vitamin D levels, due also to mutations and polymorphisms in the genes of the ...
Even though the old age group had significantly higher PSA than the young age group (p< 0.001), no correlation was found between region and total PSA level.Conclusion: The prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy among Thai orthopedic surgeons was surprisingly high. This data provide important ...

A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the BsmI, TaqI, FokI, and ApaI polymorphisms of VDR and RA or SLE using: (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) additive model. A total of ten studies, six RA and four SLE studies, ...
Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are among the most frequent autoimmune disorders, with a multifactorial etiology in which both genetic and environmental determinants are probably involved. Celiac disease (CeD) also represents a public concern, given its increasing prevalence due to the recent improveme...
Riboflavin (RF) is a water-soluble member of the B-vitamin family. Sufficient dietary and supplemental RF intake appears to have a protective effect on various medical conditions such as sepsis, ischemia etc., while it also contributes to the reduction in the risk of some forms of cancer in...
