Abstract:
The term “vitamin” or “vitamine” was first used in 1912. What later became known as vitamin deficiency diseases — scurvy, beriberi, night blindness and xeropthalmia — had plagued the world from antiquity. From 1900 through the 1930s, experiments with animals helped to advance knowledge of vitamins considerably. There are 15 vitamins of significance for livestock. A number of factors influence vitamin requirements and vitamin utilization, including physiological make-up and production function; confinement rearing without pasture; stress, disease and adverse environmental conditions; vitamin an

Abstract Vitamins are essential to maintain normal metabolic processes and homeostasis within the body. The amount of a specific vitamin required by an individual varies considerably and it is influenced by such factors as body size, growth rate, physical activity, and pregnancy. Most vitamins are stored minimally in human cells, but some are stored in liver cells to a greater extent. Vitamins A and D, for example, may be stored in sufficient amounts to maintain an individual without any intake for 5 to 10 months and 2 to 4 months, respectively.

Cross sectional and observational data suggest that HIV-positive individuals and those receiving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy are prone to higher rates of osteoporosis and osteopaenia than HIV-negative individuals. Likewise, HIV-positive individuals often have low vitamin D status. Evidence is emerging more generally of a strong association between HIV infection and poor bone health. There is also evidence that treatment with ARV therapy (ART) and suboptimal vitamin D status may exacerbate this problem (Brown et al, 2006a, 2010).

Abstract:
AbstractA woman’s body mass index and nutritional status should be assessed in the antenatal period. The evidence indicates that maternal anemia is a risk factor for preterm birth. Ensuring adequate levels of iron and folic acid is essential for general pregnancy health and outcomes. To reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, daily calcium supplementation for populations with low dietary calcium intake may be advised, although negative interactions between iron and calcium supplements may occur so these two nutrients should be administered several hours apart. In undernourished populations, balanced energy and protein supplementation should also be recommended for pregnant women (though not specifically linked to a reduction in preterm birth). For populations at risk of vitamin D deficiency, possible benefits for general pregnancy outcomes may be gained from vitamin D supplementation. Where dietary zinc is low, it has been suggested that zinc supplementation may reduce the risk of preterm birth. However, further research is required to clarify the benefits of supplementation. For example, vitamin D in combination with calcium may increase the risk of preterm birth. In the antenatal period, the most important focus should be on promoting a good quality diet in general, rather than a specific supplementation regime.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter, Chemical Supplementing, presents ethnographies of young people who use a variety of supplements in order to optimize their health. In the Philippines, boys take multivitamins with the hope of increasing their height, reflecting the importance of stature in their society, and young professionals take expensive supplements to improve their stamina for their demanding distribution jobs in a multilevel marketing company. In fitness centers, young women use proteins and fortified shakes to achieve an idealized, lean, and muscular body. In health and vitamin stores in Amsterdam, growing numbers of young people are buying, sharing, and promoting their personal concoctions of proteins and vitamins. These supplementing practices stem from young people’s various needs: to respond to the demands of service sector labor, to recover from the strain of night work, to indulge in the pleasure of weekend raves, and to manage growing concerns about environmental toxins. By zooming in on supplementing practices of these different groups of young people, we get a clearer understanding of their shared sense of vulnerability, and of the need for better regulation of the supplements industry.

Abstract:
Modern animal husbandry can no longer be imagined without special biologically active additives and a variety of protein, vitamin and mineral complexes. Among all additives, a special place is occupied by energy-metabolic compositions that give animals all the most necessary and important substances. The composition of the EC includes: yantaric acid is a universal intracellular metabolite, widely involved in metabolic reactions in the body; citric acid is the main intermediate product of the metabolic cycle of tricarboxylic acids, plays an important role in the system of biochemical reactions

Abstract:
In the paper is described the mono- and poly-invasions impact on some morpho-functional indices in wild boars. So, in result of the investigation of hematological indices in uninfested mono- and poly-parasitized wild boars, it was established that both the indices of hemoglobin content, of hematocrit, erythrocyte’s number, thrombosis time and ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) vary and are more increased in the I group with uninfested wild boars compared to mono - and poly-parasitized ones. It has been established that at infested boars with S. papillosus from the I group, and in those infes

Abstract:
In vivo treatment of experimental animals with vitamin K-antagonists induces the accumulation of non-carboxylated coagulation factor precursors in the liver, where they are tightly bound to vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. If hepatic carboxylase is isolated from warfarin-treated animals, it is obtained therefore almost exclusively in the form of an enzyme/substrate complex. If carboxylase is prepared from non-treated animals, on the other hand, the resulting enzyme is predominantly substrate-free. Small substrates like F L E E L or decarboxylated osteocalcinare carboxylated equally well by bot

Abstract:
Biological oxidations are almost exclusively metal ion-promoted reactions and in ths respect iron, being the most abundant, is the commonly involved. The effect of dietary iron levels on pork, turkey and chick muscle lipid peroxidation and various other related compounds were evaluated. Crossbred feeder pigs were fed to market weight on corn-soy rations containing either 62, 131 or 209 ppm iron. After slaughter, the muscles were dissected, cooked and stored at 4°C. Heavily fortifying swine rations with iron (&gt;200 ppm) increase nn-heme iron (NHI), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA
