Research has demonstrated that the compound shows anti-proliferative activity in specific cancer cell lines, with HeLa cells showing concentration and time-dependent growth inhibition across a 0.1-500 M range while HEK-293 cells remain unaffected
Among these necessary nutrients is vitamin B12, which helps generate healthy red blood cells and DNA as well as serving many other functions
In this study, we assessed if vitamin B12 levels, determined by the measurement of HTC, vitamin B12, and MMA, were associated with the development of sepsis, in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with onset of microbiologically confirmed bacterial infection
