becomes a very serious concern. Malnutrition is a very basic term referring to the general lack of some or all nutrients needed to support human health. There are two main types of malnutrition, Protein- energy malnutrition (PEM) and micronutrient deficiency (World Hunger, 2011). While both types of malnutrition are dangerous, PEM is the most important and most notable form of the

Iodations of all salt known as USI for both human and animal consumption, is the major global strategy of choice for feasible and effective control of iodine deficiency. Iodization levels are usually measured based on estimated consumption of salt, with an estimated individual average consumption of around 10g of salt per day in countries where most of the salt in the diet comes from table salt, used for cooking and at the table. It is recommended by the WHO, UNICEF and ICCIDD that, 20 mg to 40 mg

 INTRODUCTION: Ubiquitin is a small protein that is found in almost all cellular tissues in humans and other eukaryotic organisms, which helps to regulate the processes of other proteins in the body. Through a process known as ubiquitination or ubiquitylation, an ubiquitin molecule can bind to a substrate protein, changing the way it functions. This can lead to a number of different outcome. It is most widely recognised for its role in apoptosis of proteins, earning it the title of the molecular

Biotin is occasionally referred to as Vitamin H or vitamin B7 (Challem, 2008) , but it was not fully perceived until the 1900s. W. Bateman was a primary researcher in the discovery of the vitamin and made the most notable contributions to the findings of biotin. An additional discoverer was a scientist by the name of Fitz Kogl and Paul Gyrory. The two

of the B complex, is composed of ureido ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring and is involved in the regulation of metabolism amongst many other vital life functions. Biotinidase deficiency is caused by mutations in BTD gene (located on the short p arm of chromosome 3 at position 25), which results in a deficiency of the biotinidase enzyme, an enzyme that is needed to recycle biotin, an essential cofactor for several carboxylase enzymes (Frye, 2014). Symptoms include seizures, developmental delays

Researches done in the past have showed that iron deficiency can cause physiologic, morphologic, and biochemical changes in the orangs affected by it before there is a change in hematocrit (Beard JL, 2001). Iron is an essential micronutrient that is needed by the body because it is required for several neurological metabolic processes such as: myelination, cytokinesis, electron transport, antioxidant enzyme activity, and biogenic metabolism (Hyman, 2012). Iron also plays an important role in
