A novel role for vitamin B12: Cobalamins are intracellular antioxidants in vitro

The effect of method, standard and sample components on the total antioxidant capacity of commercial waters assessed by optical conventional assays

“…It is also important to refer that vitamin C is an antioxidant with the capacity of protection against oxidative stress, and is a cofactor in several vital enzymatic reactions. According to the labelled information, the added amounts are very different amongst the several brands and some of them only refer its presence (Birch, Brasch, McCaddon, & Williams, 2009;Weber et al, 1996).…”

Vitamin B12supplement alleviatesN′-nitrosodimethylamine-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats

“…There already exists some evidence that attributes a mitigating role to vitamin B 12 in liver disorders by way of preserving the appropriate biochemical ambience as well as the integrity of lobular architecture (Baker et al, 1998;Birch et al, 2009;Chattopadhyay et al, 2012;Ermens et al, 2003;Isoda et al, 2008;Krautler, 2005). Therefore, we undertook the present study on biochemical, histological and immunohistological aspects with the focus on the role of vitamin B 12 in NDMA-induced fibrotic rats.…”

Pain & Inflammation: Effects of short term daily adminstration of Vitamin B12 & Folic acid in long evans rats

“…Similar observations were observed in two clinical trials [39][40] , though duration of supplementations were much longer (2month & 6 month) & they also administered vitamin B 6 along with these two vitamins. Although mechanism of this decrement of inflammation can't be elucidated from our study, decreased production of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, CRP, free radicals or NF-κ B by the inflammatory cells are proposed as mechanism for their anti-inflammatory effects by several researchers [41][42][43][44][45][46][47] .…”
