How the immune system adapts to malnutrition to sustain immunity at barrier surfaces, such as the intestine, remains unclear. Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies and is associated with profound defects in adaptive immunity. Here

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on blood and intestinal DHA levels and lung function in mild/moderately affected adult CF patients with the DeltaF508 genotype. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients often present

We discuss vitamin A with emphasis on its absorption, transport, cellular uptake, storage, and intracellular metabolism. Dietary retinyl esters are hydrolyzed to retinol in the intestinal lumen before absorption by enterocytes. Carotenoids are absorbed and then partially converted to retinol

People wearing mandibular two-implant overdentures (IOD) chew food with less difficulty than those wearing conventional complete dentures (CD). However, there is still controversy over whether or not this results in better dietary intake. In this randomized clinical trials (RCT), the

Deficiencies of iron and vitamin A are prevalent worldwide. Single-micronutrient supplementation is widely used to combat these deficiencies. However, micronutrient deficiencies often occur concurrently, and there are many interactions between micronutrients. This study investigated interactions among 3 important micronutrients--iron, vitamin
