Vitamin B12 Deficiency Does Not Stimulate Amyloid-beta Toxicity in a Ceanorhabditis elegans Model of Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is symptomized by amyloid-beta plaques in the brain and accounts for more than 65 percent of dementia cases. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency can result in similar cognitive impairment and roughly 15% of the elderly are vitamin

The importance of holotranscobalamin measurement [PDF]
Clinically significant vitamin B12 deficiency can occur even with total vitamin B12 levels apparently within normal range. There is an indeterminate zone between approximately 154 and 300 pmol/L of vitamin B12 where there is likely misclassification of ...

Evidence from web-based dietary search patterns to the role of B12 deficiency in chronic pain [PDF]
Profound vitamin B12 deficiency is a known cause of disease, but the role of low or intermediate levels of B12 in the development of neuropathy and other neuropsychiatric symptoms as well as the relationship of eating meat and B12 levels is unclear.

Nutritional blood concentration biomarkers in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos: Measurement characteristics and power [PDF]
Measurement error is a major issue in self-reported diet that can distort diet-disease relationships. Use of blood concentration biomarkers has the potential to mitigate the subjective bias inherent in self-report. As part of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) baseline visit (2008-2011), self-reported diet was collected on ...

Electronic structure and correlations of vitamin B12 studied within the Haldane-Anderson impurity model [PDF]
We study the electronic structure and correlations of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamine) by using the framework of the multi-orbital single-impurity Haldane-Anderson model of a transition-metal impurity in a semiconductor host. The parameters of the effective Haldane-Anderson model are obtained within the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation.
