Premature farrowing and stillbirths in two organic sow farms due to riboflavin deficiency

Porcine Health Management, 2023
Background Riboflavin deficiency can lead to premature farrowing, stillborn piglets, weak-born piglets and neonatal death. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is considered essential for reproductive function. The longer the period on riboflavin-deficient diets, the

Two Rare Cases of Long Surviving Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency with Co-Existing Adenosine Monophosphate Deaminase (AMP) Deficiency

Brain Sciences, 2022
(1) Background: Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD), formerly known as Brown–Vialetto–Van Laere syndrome, is a rare condition that causes a progressive neurological syndrome in early life with features of auditory and optic neuropathy, weakness of ...

The Anemia of Human Riboflavin Deficiency [PDF]

Blood, 1965
Abstract 1. Riboflavin deficiency was induced in 8 adult males with a riboflavin deficient diet and a riboflavin antagonist, galactoflavin. 2. Each patient developed a normochromic normocytic anemia and reticulocytopenia. 3. The leukocyte counts and platelet counts remained within the normal range throughout

Update on riboflavin and multiple sclerosis: a systematic review [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2017
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Riboflavin plays an important role in myelin formation, and its deficiency is implicated as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis.

Increased de novo riboflavin synthesis and hydrolysis of FMN are involved in riboflavin secretion from Hyoscyamus albus hairy roots under iron deficiency [PDF]

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2012
Riboflavin secretion by Hyoscyamus albus hairy roots under Fe deficiency was examined to determine where riboflavin is produced and whether production occurs via an enhancement of riboflavin biosynthesis or a stimulation of flavin mononucleotide (FMN ...

Developmental riboflavin deficiency results in structural and functional changes in the neural retina and RPE

Redox Biology
The retina, a metabolically active tissue, relies on adequate flavin levels for optimal function. Our previous research demonstrated that ablation of RTBDN, a retina-specific riboflavin binding protein, plays a pivotal role in maintaining flavin levels ...

Selective Vulnerability of Peripheral Nerves in Avian Riboflavin Deficiency Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

Veterinary Pathology, 2009
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency in young chickens produces a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. In this study, day-old broiler meat chickens were fed a riboflavin-deficient diet (1.8 mg/kg) and killed on posthatch days 6, 11, 16, 21, and 31, while ...
