serine and Vitamin A Deficiency

serine has been researched along with Vitamin A Deficiency in 3 studies

Serine: A non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids.
serine : An alpha-amino acid that is alanine substituted at position 3 by a hydroxy group.

Vitamin A Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of VITAMIN A in the diet, characterized by NIGHT BLINDNESS and other ocular manifestations such as dryness of the conjunctiva and later of the cornea (XEROPHTHALMIA). Vitamin A deficiency is a very common problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries as a consequence of famine or shortages of vitamin A-rich foods. In the United States it is found among the urban poor, the elderly, alcoholics, and patients with malabsorption. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1179)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Tracer kinetic techniques were used in the present study to assess the physiological importance of vitamin A deficiency on the de novo synthesis of methionine via the hepatic folate-dependent one-carbon pool."3.69Carbon flow through the hepatic folate-dependent one-carbon pool is not altered in vitamin A-deficient rats. ( Schalinske, KL; Steele, RD, 1996)
