The intervertebral discs of patients with diabetes mellitus have decreased hexosamine content, deficiencies in proteoglycan synthesis and reduced concentrations of keratosulphate, which is a critical component of proteoglycans [3].
Thus, we hypothesized that in CF patients the intracellular non-methylated folates are accumulated, while the 5-MTHF is not produced, most likely due to alterations of MTHFR activity (Fig. 2C), as also supported by the normality of vitamin B12 cell content, whose deficiency can contribute to folate trapping in cells (Fig. 2B) [60], [60].
In addition, we are currently investigating variation in the S42ILs for traits like mineral nutrient content, nitrogen deficiency tolerance, drought tolerance and others.
Multiple cancer types have been widely reported to exhibit abnormal iron contents or deficiency in iron uptake, utilization and storage (Fig. 3).
Their diets are frequently monotonous, with a low energy and nutrient content and deficiencies in calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E, thiamin, retinol, carotenes, and folic acid.
In addition, selected process area is elaborated upon in terms of contents and deficiencies.
As a result of this "dispersion" it is not uncommon to find large tracts of the country containing anomalous trace element contents or deficiencies in essential micro-nutrient elements.
Leachate irrigation improved soil N content, though P deficiency is still a problem.
They are very acidic and have a high organic matter content, high P deficiency, and Al toxicity.
Serpentine soils pose three major challenges to potential colonists: low Ca/Mg ratio, high heavy metal content and nutrient deficiency [5], [7], [8].
An association between high chol content and capacitation deficiencies in human spermatozoa has recently been observed [38].
