  • Aseptic Addition Method for Lactobacillus Casei Assay of Folate Activity in Human Serum
    J Clin Pathol: first published as 10.1136/jcp.19.1.12 on 1 January 1966. Downloaded from J. clin. Path. (1966), 19, 12 Aseptic addition method for Lactobacillus casei assay of folate activity in human serum VICTOR HERBERT From the Department of Haematology, The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, U.S.A. SYNOPSIS An 'aseptic addition' method is described for microbiological assay with Lactobacillis casei of folate activity in human serum. It has the following advantages over the previously reported 'standard' method. 1 The manipulations involved in the assay are halved, by deleting autoclaving of serum in buffers. 2 The use of 1 g. % ascorbate better preserves serum folates than the lower amounts of ascorbate which are the maximum quantities usable in the standard methods. 3 Only 03 ml. of serum is required (0 1 ml. for one sample; 02 ml. for its duplicate). Herbert, Wasserman, Frank, Pasher, and Baker in or after transfer of blood from syringes to acid-washed 1959 reported that folate deficiency could be screw-top tubes). The clots are 'rimmed' with glass rods measured in man using microbiological assay of or wooden applicator sticks, the tubes centrifuged for serum folate activity with Lactobacillus casei.

    EXCERPTED FROM: Vitamin and Mineral Safety 3rd Edition (2013) Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) www.crnusa.org Copper Introduction Copper, like iron and some other elements, is a transition metal and performs at least some of its functions through oxidation-reduction reactions. These reactions involve the transition from Cu1+ to Cu2+. There is little or no Cu valence 0 (the metallic form) in biological systems (European Commission, Scientific Committee on Food [EC SCF] 2003). The essential role of copper was recognized after animals that were fed only a whole-milk diet developed an apparent deficiency that did not respond to iron supplementation and was then recognized as a copper deficiency (Turnlund 1999). The similarity of copper-deficiency anemia and iron-deficiency anemia helped scientists to understand copper’s important biological role as the activator of the enzyme ferroxidase I (ceruloplasmin), which is necessary for iron absorption and mobilization from storage in the liver (Linder 1996; Turnlund 1999; EC SCF 2003). Copper activates several enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids and their metabolites, energy, and the activated form of oxygen, superoxide. Enzyme activation by copper produces physiologically important effects on connective tissue formation, iron metabolism, central nervous system activity, melanin pigment formation, and protection against oxidative stress. There are two known inborn errors of copper metabolism. Wilson disease results when an inability to excrete copper causes the element to accumulate, and Menkes disease results when an inability to absorb copper creates a copper deficiency (Turnlund 1994). Safety Considerations Copper is relatively nontoxic in most mammals, including humans (Scheinberg and Sternlieb 1976; Linder 1996).

  • Management of Copper Deficiency in Cholestatic Infants / Blackmer, Bailey 2012
    XXX10.1177/0884533612461531Nutrition in Clinical PracticeManagement of Copper Deficiency in Cholestatic Infants / Blackmer, Bailey 2012 Clinical Observations Nutrition in Clinical Practice Volume 28 Number 1 Management of Copper Deficiency in Cholestatic Infants: February 2013 75-86 © 2012 American Society Review of the Literature and a Case Series for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition DOI: 10.1177/0884533612461531 ncp.sagepub.com hosted at online.sagepub.com Allison Beck Blackmer, PharmD, BCPS1; and Elizabeth Bailey, RD2 Abstract Copper is an essential trace element, playing a critical role in multiple functions in the body. Despite the necessity of adequate copper provision and data supporting the safety of copper administration during cholestasis, it remains common practice to reduce or remove copper in parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions after the development of cholestasis due to historical recommendations supporting this practice. In neonates, specifically premature infants, less is known about required copper intakes to accumulate copper stores and meet increased demands during rapid growth. Pediatric surgical patients are at high risk for hepatic injury during long-term PN provision and a balance is needed between the potential for reduced biliary excretion of copper and adequate copper intakes to prevent deficiency. Copper deficiency has been documented in several pediatric patients with cholestasis when parenteral copper was reduced or removed. Few data guide the management of copper deficiency in the pediatric population. The following case series describes our experience with successfully managing copper deficiency in 3 cholestatic infants after copper had been reduced or removed from their PN. Classic signs of copper deficiency were present, including hypocupremia, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and osteopenia.

Consequently, the ability of gut microbiota to bidirectionally communicate with the brain, known as the gut–brain axis, in the modulation of human health is at the forefront of current research. At a basic level, the gut microbiota interacts with the human host in a mutualistic relationship – the host intestine pro- vides the bacteria with an environment to grow and the bacterium aids in governing homeostasis within the host. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that the lack of healthy gut microbiota may also lead to a deterioration of these relationships and ultimately disease.

Gut microbial metabolism of choline results in the production of trimethylamine (TMA), which, upon absorption by the host is converted into trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) in the liver. A high accumulation of both components is related to cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and chronic kidney disease. However, the relationship between the microbiota production of these components and its impact on these diseases still remains unknown. In this review, we will address which microbes contribute to TMA production in the human gut, the extent to which host factors (e.g., the genotype) and diet affect TMA production, and the colonization of these microbes and the reversal of dysbiosis as a therapy for these diseases.
