Association of the plasma and tissue riboflavin levels with C20orf54 expression in cervical lesions and its relationship to HPV16 infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Riboflavin deficiency can cause a variety of metabolic problems that lead to skin and mucosal disorders. Limited evidence suggests that high intake of riboflavin may reduce overall risks of cancer.

HEMOPOIESIS IN RIBOFLAVIN-DEFICIENT RATS [PDF]

Blood, 1947
Abstract Leukopenia, granulocytopenia, and, occasionally, anemia develop in rats fed a purified diet deficient in riboflavin. Folic acid (L. casei factor) corrects the leukopenia and granulocytopenia. Riboflavin will prevent all the dyscrasias but will correct only the anemia.

Riboflavin Inhibits Histamine-Dependent Itch by Modulating Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, isfound in foods and is used as a dietary supplement. Its deficiency (also called ariboflavinosis) results in some skin lesions and inflammations, such as stomatitis, cheilosis, oily scaly skin rashes, and itchy ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Nutritional optic neuropathy induced by riboflavin deficiency from levomepromazine: A case report

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Case Reports
Nutritional optic neuropathy (NON) results from a deficiency of essential nutrients required for mitochondrial function. We report a unique case of NON induced by riboflavin deficiency due to levomepromazine treatment for schizophrenia.

SLC22A14 is a mitochondrial riboflavin transporter required for sperm oxidative phosphorylation and male fertility

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Ablation of Slc22a14 causes male infertility in mice, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that SLC22A14 is a riboflavin transporter localized at the inner mitochondrial membrane of the spermatozoa mid-piece and show by ...

Study Protocol: Randomised controlled trial to investigate the functional significance of marginal riboflavin status in young women in the UK (RIBOFEM)

BMC Public Health, 2009
Background The functional significance of moderate riboflavin deficiency as it is currently assessed is not well understood. Animal and human studies have suggested a role for riboflavin in the absorption and mobilisation of iron and as such may be ...
