Vitamin B12

The use of the Vitamin B12 In order to have a healthy nervous system Vitamin B12 must be included in adequate amounts in the diet (Abyad, 2016). It is, according to Abyad (2016), needed for DNA synthesis and to regenerate damaged nerves. Vitamins B12 and B6 are both crucial for nerve function (Stubblefield et al., 2009). Further, it is known that a vitamin B12 deficiency is a contributory factor in peripheral neuropathy, and that this may, in fact, cause a predisposition to CIPN (Schloss et al.

November 2017 Vitamin B12 in Inorganic Chemistry Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin or cobalamin is an important water-soluble organic compound that aids in many biological functions that are essential for life (Jamil 2015). Vitamin B12 is one out of eight vitamins, that was discovered by Georg Richard Minot, William Parry Murphy, and George Whipple in the nineteenth century due to their investigation of the disease pernicious anemia (Vitamin B12 www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/vitb12/b12.htm). Although

B12 Deficiency What is Vitamin B12 Deficiency Vitamin B12 deficiency limits selenium methylation and excretion resulting in higher tissue selenium levels and subsequent toxicity. It occurs in people whose digestive systems do not adequately absorb the vitamin from the foods they eat. Vegetarians who eat eggs and milk products are the most at risk because, on average, they consume less than half the adult vitamin B12 Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) while strict vegans (who don't eat any animal

Vitamin B12 is a water- soluble vitamin that’s main function is to keep the brain and nervous system operating properly. B12 also helps aid the formation of the blood. Good food sources of Vitamin B12 are found in sardines, Salomon, tuna, cod, lamb, shrimp, beef, yogurt and cows milk. Folic acid helps to produce and maintain new cell development, as well as preventing changes in the DNA that could possibly lead to cancer. Folic acid is found in foods such as spinach, broccoli, asparagus, beets, liver

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential cofactor for many processes in the human body. The vitamin is essential in the diet, meaning that the body is not capable of producing vitamin B12 or its derivatives without obtaining the raw vitamin through ingestion. Although animals cannot produce cobalamin, organisms belonging to the domains bacteria and archaea are capable of synthesizing it. Many foods are fortified with B vitamins in order to maintain vitamin levels in the population

study was to assess the risks involved in B12 deficiency because of the long-term use of Metformin in diabetes prevention. BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 (also known as Cyanocobalamin and Cobalamin) is one of eight B-vitamins. Commonly, all B-vitamins help in the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose, producing energy. Vitamin B12 main role is in maintaining healthy nerve cells and aids in the body’s DNA replication. Also, it works closely with other vitamins such as B6 and B9 (also known as Folate/Folic

My Vitamin B12 intake was only at 62%,and the RDA for most micronutrients calls for 66%. Considering how close I was to meeting the RDA amount, All I would have to do is either replace the protein I am getting from the carne asada, the pulled pork, the fried chicken or hamburger with more organ meat such as chicken liver or increase my meat or milk intake. The next thing I would want to do, is to cook the organ meat or increased quantity of meat with some plant oils such as olive or canola oil

Arnalich et al (1990) found no significant differences in serum vitamin B12 levels between subjects with high-grade and low-grade multiple myeloma (MM). However, the subjects with high-grade multiple myeloma had a significantly lower survival rate of 13 months compared to 31 months in subjects with low-grade MM. This study was limited by a small sample size. Additionally, the group with the highest vitamin B12 levels ranged from 541 +/- 118pmol/L, which is not as high as the levels seen in the other

found an association between an elevated serum vitamin B12 level and cancer. Chiche et al (2008) found solid neoplasia in 23% and malignant hematologic disorders in 23% of subjects with elevated vitamin B12. The presence of malignant hemopathy was associated with an elevated vitamin B12 level. Researchers found a vitamin B12 level above 1275pg/mL in 80% of subjects with malignant hemopathies (p<0.05). (chiche 2008) Deneuville et al found a vitamin B12 above 820pg/mL was associated with cancer (OR

Niacin and Vitamin B12 Metabolic importance Vitamins are chemically unrelated organic compounds which can be used in many metabolic process. The vitamin B complex are water soluble vitamins that are needed to form the coenzymes or enzymes in metabolic pathways. Niacin is used to produce NAD+ which is used in cellular respiration and NADP+ used in the pentose phosphate pathway and would lead to someone developing pellagra. Additionally, vitamin B12 is used to form cofactors required in the conversion
