“…In the analysis, significantly lower mean values for several parameters were detected in the study group versus the control group, including vitamin B 6 (4.2 vs 9 ng/mL; P < .0005), vitamin B 9 (5.19 vs 9.4 ng/mL; P < .0005), vitamin C (3 vs 5.2 mg/mL; P < .007), zinc (69 vs 87 μg/dL; P < .006), and albumin (34.5 vs 40.7 g/L; P < .000006). Homocysteine levels were elevated in the study group but in the normal range in the In the study by Melo et al, 23 ulcers averaged 32.5 cm 2 in size, and mean BMI was 30.93 kg/m 2 . Patients' nutrient intake was collected using 24-hour records.…”
