The current study is focused on investigation and quantitation of seven commercially available on the Bulgarian market food supplements, containing multivitamin mixtures of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. In addition, a second fermentation brewer's yeast is also analyzed. The analytical procedures are performed on a RP-HPLC/DAD using Purospher STAR C18 (Merck Millipore, Germany) 5 μm, 25 × 0.46 cm column, conditioned at 25 °C in a column oven. Dionex UltiMate 3000 high performance liquid chromatograph was carried out in diode array detector, set up at 270 nm for water-soluble vitamins, except for vitamin B, where 210 nm was applied as analytical wavelength. The fat-soluble vitamins were detected at 325 nm and 265 nm for vitamin A and vitamin E, respectively. Two general methods were developed where was based on gradient elution and was based on isocratic elution. Both methods identified stated by the manufacturer labeled amounts. The developed methods are applicable for routine analysis of vitamin contents both in multivitamin preparations and in brewer's yeast from secondary fermentation.

Vitamin D, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in bone health and has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among pregnant and pre-pregnancy women, which increases the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a common complication during pregnancy. Recent studies have explored various aspects of the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and GDM, including the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects glucose metabolism, the role of the vitamin D receptor gene, and the impact of routine vitamin D supplementation before and during pregnancy.

Cholestatic jaundice is a potentially serious condition that requires early diagnosis for proper management. Fat-soluble vitamin (FSV) deficiency develops as a consequence of cholestasis. Vitamin D deficiency is common and remains a challenge in patients with cholestasis.

Retinol, α-tocopherol and phylloquinone (vitamins A, E, and K) are presented in high concentrations within the chloroplast and leaves of most plants. They are fat-soluble vitamins and absorb similarly to other dietary lipids. Because the molecular mechanism of retinol, α-tocopherol, and phylloquinone absorption is still unknown, this work aims to investigate the distribution of these vitamins at the water/membrane interface using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Background: Bile acid synthesis defects (BASDs) can be severely disabling involving the liver and nervous system, potentially due to elevated levels of toxic C-bile acid intermediates. Cholic acid (CA) supplementation is hypothesized to decrease bile acid production, stimulate bile secretion and -flow, and slowing down disease progression. This systematic review assesses the clinical and biochemical effectiveness, and safety of CA in BASDs patients.

Background: Vitamin D, an essential fat-soluble micronutrient, exerts diverse physiological effects including the regulation of calcium ion homeostasis, modulation of immune response, and enhancement of resistance against infectious pathogens. Empirical investigations have elucidated an association between inadequate levels of vitamin D and adverse clinical outcomes in critically ill cohorts, with a noteworthy prevalence of vitamin D deficiency observed among patients afflicted with acute kidney injury (AKI). In the context of this retrospective inquiry, our aim was to assess the potential correlation between vitamin D supplementation administered during admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the improvement of outcomes specifically in cases of severe AKI.
