Cord blood iron profile and breast milk micronutrients in maternal iron deficiency anemia.

Pediatrics Department, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Micronutrient deficiencies among pregnant women are widespread in low-income countries, including Egypt. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most frequent nutritional deficiency during pregnancy, with an impact on maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal IDA and nutritional status on birth anthropometry, cord blood iron profile and breast milk micronutrients in 50 anemic (hemoglobin <11 g/dl) and 30 healthy pregnant women.

Because dietary boron deprivation induces hyperinsulinemia in vitamin D-deprived rats, the influence of dietary boron on insulin metabolism as modified by nutritional stressors was examined in two animal models. Male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to each of four (Experiment 1) or 8 (Experiment 2) dietary groups for 35 d: the basal diet (< 0.2 mg B; <1.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that is required for optimal biological function including energy metabolism. Although national nutritional surveys indicate that usual magnesium intakes do not meet recommendations, particularly among older women, diet-induced magnesium depletion is considered rare among humans without concurrent illness. We examined the effects of dietary magnesium restriction on biochemical measures of magnesium nutriture and physiologic responses during submaximal exercise in 10 postmenopausal women, 45-71 y old, not receiving hormone replacement therapy.

Administration of the oral antibiotic frenolicin-B selectively alters copper nutriture in male rats.

The polyketide antibiotic Frenolicin-B (FB) produces anorexia and esophageal epithelial hyperplasia (EH) in rats, findings that are characteristic of zinc deficiency. Because FB also chelates divalent cations in vitro, we conducted studies to determine whether FB modifies blood and organ concentrations of zinc and other essential metals (calcium, copper, iron and magnesium). Groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats ( approximately 250g; n = 20/group) consumed diets with adequate (40 microg/g), deficient (<2 microg/g) or fortified (100 microg/g) zinc concentrations ad libitum for 28 d.
