Relationship between acute diarrhoea and low plasma levels of vitamin A and retinol binding protein Relação entre diarréia aguda e baixos níveis plasmáticos de vitamina A e proteína carregadora de retinol (RBP)
The objective of this study was to assess vitamin A status and association between acute diarrhoea and plasma levels of vitamin A through cross-sectional comparison in children. Plasma vitamin A was measured by colorimetric method of Neeld & Pearson and RBP by radial immunodiffusion technique. S...
