Am J Clin Nutr 91:571-7. 2010
..Studies have questioned whether the current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 2.4 microg vitamin B-12/d is adequate...
- A daily intake of approximately 6 microg vitamin B-12 appears to saturate all the vitamin B-12-related variables in Danish postmenopausal women

- Assessment of vitamin B(12) absorption based on the accumulation of orally administered cyanocobalamin on transcobalamin
Tore Forsingdal Hardlei
Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Brendstrupgaardsvej 100, DK 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark
Clin Chem 56:432-6. 2010
..We hypothesize that cyanocobalamin (CNCbl) is absorbed unchanged, thereby allowing measurement of the complex of CNCbl bound to TC (TC-CNCbl) to be used for studying the absorption of the vitamin...
- Nonradioactive vitamin B12 absorption test evaluated in controls and in patients with inherited malabsorption of vitamin B12
Mustafa Vakur Bor
Department of Clinical Biochemistry, NBG, As, Aalborg Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark
Clin Chem 51:2151-5. 2005
..Current tests for evaluation of vitamin B(12) absorption are problematic because they involve the use of radioactively labeled vitamin B(12). We describe a vitamin B(12) absorption test that circumvents this problem...

- Holo-transcobalamin concentration and transcobalamin saturation reflect recent vitamin B12 absorption better than does serum vitamin B12
Mustafa Vakur Bor
Department of Clinical Biochemistry, AKH, Aarhus University Hospital, Norrebrogade 44, DK 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark
Clin Chem 50:1043-9. 2004
..We evaluated whether measurement of vitamin B(12)-saturated transcobalamin (holo-TC) concentrations or TC saturation (holo-TC:total TC) reflects active vitamin B(12) absorption in healthy individuals and patients after vitamin B(12) intake...
- The DNA damaging agent VP16 induces the expression of a subset of ligands from the EGF system in bladder cancer cells, whereas none of the four EGF receptors are induced
Boe Sandahl Sørensen
Department of Clinical Biochemistry, AKH, University Hospital in Aarhus, Denmark
Mol Cell Biochem 260:129-35. 2004
..In conclusion, we show that a subset of ligands from the EGF system is upregulated by VP16, whereas none of the four receptors are induced. This might represent a physiological response aimed at rescuing the cells...
