Vitamin C, Tini Gruner, Rachel Arthur
Dr Tini M Gruner
Summary the first nutritional disease ever identified was scurvy, which was endemic in Europe in the 18th century. Vitamin C was subsequently recognised in 1928 as the ‘antiscorbutic factor’ in the citrus fruits that James Lind had fed his sailors. Since then, the research on this nutrient has ebbed and flowed, portraying it at different stages as both panacea and placebo. In light of the current evidence-based paradigm, it appears now that the true effect of vitamin C lies somewhere between the two. There is growing recognition by international authorities of the broader actions and applications of vitamin C, and …

Development Of A Method For The Separation Of Corrinoids In Ovine Tissues By Hplc, R Kelly, Tini Gruner, A Sykes
Development Of A Method For The Separation Of Corrinoids In Ovine Tissues By Hplc, R Kelly, Tini Gruner, A Sykes
Dr Tini M Gruner
A method has been developed using a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a radioisotope dilution assay (RIDA) to routinely estimate the distribution of corrinoids (the cobalamins hydroxocobalamin, methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, and cobalamin analogues) in liver, plasma, milk, intestinal fluid and faeces. Corrinoids were extracted with a sodium acetate buffer, separated by HPLC and quantified by RIDA. Recoveries of corrinoids were 29% for hydroxocobalamin, 50% for 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin and 64% for methylcobalamin. The method allows the routine analysis of many samples and maintains good standards of precision.
Analysis Of Corrinoids In Ovine Tissues, R Kelly, Tini Gruner, J Furlong, A Sykes
Analysis Of Corrinoids In Ovine Tissues, R Kelly, Tini Gruner, J Furlong, A Sykes
Dr Tini M Gruner
Corrinoids from various ovine tissue samples (liver, blood, small intestinal fluid and faeces) were analysed using a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a radioisotope dilution assay (RIDA) to estimate the distribution of corrinoids - the cobalamins hydroxocobalamin (OH-cbl), methylcobalamin (me-cbl) and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (ado-cbl), and cobalamin analogues - in these tissues. Samples were taken from either cobalt-deficient or cobalt-replete ewes, and ruminant and pre-ruminant lambs. In liver, ado-cbl predominated, followed by analogues, OH-cbl and me-cbl. Supplementation with either cobalt (ruminant) or vitamin B12 injections (pre-ruminant) increased the amount of ado-cbl and decreased analogues. In blood, OH-cbl predominated, followed by …
Vitamin B12, Tini Gruner
Vitamin B12, Tini Gruner
Dr Tini M Gruner
The usefulness of vitamin B12 in clinical practice is commonly underrated, particularly in agerelated diseases. This article provides some background on the rationale for inclusion of this vitamin in the treatment of a number of health problems and offers a metabolic understanding of the indications, therapeutic uses and administration of this important vitamin. Hopefully, much suffering will be alleviated if micronutrient therapy such as that outlined here is included in mainstream treatment of chronic and age-related diseases.
Digestion And Enzymes, Tini Gruner, Rachel Arthur
Digestion And Enzymes, Tini Gruner, Rachel Arthur
Dr Tini M Gruner
The mainstream treatment of a small number of medical conditions has for some time included digestive-enzyme supplementation, however, there are numerous other disease states for which enzymes have been proposed. At present, the many hypotheses contrast with the limited number of clinical trials employing digestive enzymes as treatment agents. Recent scientific findings appear to support some of the underlying propositions behind their use, perhaps paving the way for future research. An estimated four billion people
