We adopted a field trial design in which we used the horse as its own control to assess the impact of the vitamin E deficiency on the same animals and hence minimize the potential effect of other intrinsic factors.
Funk believed that some human diseases, particularly beriberi, scurvy, and pellagra, also were caused by deficiencies of factors of the same chemical type.
Investigation of the merits of different approaches for making diagnoses of nutrient deficiencies from the same dataset are rare.
We therefore examined the in vivo effects of LMP7 deficiency using the same model of multiple sclerosis used by Seifert et al.
This study assessed the accuracy of each test in the identification of various levels of G6PD deficiency under the same operating conditions with the same blood samples.
Both deficiencies share the same proximal break point.
The prevalence of Zn deficiency in developing countries is similar to that of Fe deficiency, since the same dietary pattern, a reliance on polished rice with minimal dietary diversity, contributes to both ([Black et al. 2008]).
Although the levels of endogenous erythropoietin significantly decreased during correction of iron deficiency, the same response was observed in those with and without thrombocytosis, indicating that erythropoietin is not the principal regulator of thrombocytosis [ 25].
Due to the heterogeneous nature of these deficiencies even within the same patient, some fibers appear healthy, some appear to suspend apoptosis and others seem to die with active caspase 3 immunoreactivity [31], [34], [35].
Still, even the third Bravada showed some of the same deficiencies noted last winter: wind roar, uncommunicative steering and a mushy brake pedal that made a "whoosh" each time it was depressed.
