Modern advances in the field of metabolomics afford the opportunity to readily identify new metabolite biomarkers across a wide array of disciplines. Many of the metabolites are derived from or directly reflective of mitochondrial metabolism. L-carnitine and acylcarnitines are established mitochondrial biomarkers used to screen neonates for a series of genetic disorders affecting fatty acid oxidation, known as the inborn errors of metabolism. However, L-carnitine and acylcarnitines are not routinely measured beyond this screening, despite the growing evidence that shows their clinical utility outside of these disorders. Measurements of the carnitine pool have been used to identify the disease and prognosticate mortality among disorders such as diabetes, sepsis, cancer, and heart failure, as well as identify subjects experiencing adverse drug reactions from various medications like valproic acid, clofazimine, zidovudine, cisplatin, propofol, and cyclosporine.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Vitamin B12 Vitamin D Iodine and Selenium
    Frequently Asked Questions for VEG 1 General 1. Why has VEG 1 been developed? VEG 1 was developed to provide a convenient way of avoiding the most common weak points in a varied vegan diet: vitamin B12, iodine, vitamin D and selenium. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is almost entirely absent from modern plant foods which are not contaminated by bacteria and insects. Even unwashed, organically grown plants do not contain a significant amount of B12. Vegans often have intakes of vitamin B12 well below recommended intakes. Low vitamin B12 intake by vegans routinely leads to reduced activity of some important enzymes and increased levels of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA). Even moderately elevated homocysteine is associated with increased risk of death, depression, stroke, dementia and birth defects, though it remains unclear how many of these associations reflect true cause and effect. Vegans who do not get vitamin B12 from fortified food or supplements are at increased risk of clinical deficiency symptoms such as anaemia and nervous system damage. The most common early symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are tiredness (from anaemia), numbness and tingling (from nervous system damage) and sore tongue. VEG 1 is designed to provide sufficient absorbed vitamin B12 to match national and international recommended intakes. It is designed to be chewed as this increases the reliability of vitamin B12 absorption by dispersing and dissolving the tablet. Vitamin D In the winter – whenever our shadows at midday are more than twice as long as we are – our skin cannot produce vitamin D effectively and even small dietary intakes may become important to avoid deficiency.

Carnitine, derived from an amino acid, is found in nearly all cells of the body. Its name is derived from the Latin Absorption and metabolism of carnus or flesh, as the compound was isolated from meat. Carnitine is the generic term for a number of carnitine compounds that include L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, and propionyl-L-carnitine [1-2]. When can a carnitine deficiency occur? Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so What are some current issues they can be oxidized ("burned") to produce energy. It also transports the toxic compounds generated out of this and controversies about cellular organelle to prevent their accumulation.

Are there health risks from too much carnitine? The body makes sufficient carnitine to meet the needs of most people. For genetic or medical reasons, some individuals (such as preterm infants), cannot make enough, so for them carnitine is a conditionally essential Carnitine and medication nutrient [1]. interactions Supplemental sources of carnitine What are recommended intakes for carnitine? Carnitine intakes and healthful Healthy children and adults do not need to consume carnitine from food or supplements, as the liver and kidneys diets produce sufficient amounts from the amino acids lysine and methionine to meet daily needs [1-3].

  • Treatment Options for Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson’S Disease
    biomolecules Review Treatment Options for Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease Frank C. Church Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The University of North Carolina School of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) usually presents in older adults and typically has both motor and non-motor dysfunctions. PD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting from dopamin- ergic neuronal cell loss in the mid-brain substantia nigra pars compacta region. Outlined here is an integrative medicine and health strategy that highlights five treatment options for people with Parkinson’s (PwP): rehabilitate, therapy, restorative, maintenance, and surgery. Rehabilitating begins following the diagnosis and throughout any additional treatment processes, especially vis-à-vis consulting with physical, occupational, and/or speech pathology therapist(s). Therapy uses daily administration of either the dopamine precursor levodopa (with carbidopa) or a dopamine ago- nist, compounds that preserve residual dopamine, and other specific motor/non-motor-related compounds. Restorative uses strenuous aerobic exercise programs that can be neuroprotective. Maintenance uses complementary and alternative medicine substances that potentially support and protect the brain microenvironment. Finally, surgery, including deep brain stimulation, is pursued when PwP fail to respond positively to other treatment options. There is currently no cure for PD. In conclusion, the best strategy for treating PD is to hope to slow disorder progression and strive to achieve stability with neuroprotection. The ultimate goal of any management program is to improve the quality-of-life for a person with Parkinson’s disease.

  • Choline, Inositol, L-Carnitine, Taurine
    Ingredients in infant milks Choline, Inositol, L-Carnitine, Taurine Choline Choline is found in a number of forms in human milk, and the choline content of human milk is influenced by maternal choline intake. It is synthesised in the body, and the extent to which it is a required dietary component under normal circumstances is unclear. Choline serves as the precursor for the synthesis of phosphatidyl choline (PC), the main phospholipid in brain, liver and other tissues. PC plays a role in normal membrane composition and signalling processes, lipid metabolism, and normal brain development. As it is essential, and the potential for impaired synthesis or increased needs are not clear, it remains mandatory in infant formula. Following EFSA (2014) recommendations, current regulations specify a minimum choline content of 25mg/100kcal in infant formula, however it is not considered a necessary ingredient in follow-on formula. Inositol Inositol is an essential growth factor which is synthesised in the body but may need to be provided in the diet under certain conditions. Inositol is present in high concentration in human milk and decreases over the course of lactation. Inositol levels in blood are high among neonates, leading to the suggestion that inositol plays an important role in early development (Scientific Committee on Food, 2003) and as the amount of endogenous synthesis in infants is unknown, legislation has previously given minimum and maximum levels for inositol in infant formula suitable from birth. Current regulations reflect the EFSA opinion (2014) that inositol should be added to infant formula at 4mg/100kcal, but that it is not a necessary component of follow-on formula.
