UMR 204, Prévention des Malnutritions et des Pathologies Associées, Institute de Recherche pour le Developpement, Montpellier, France
Eur J Clin Nutr 64:1072-9. 2010..Therefore, this study investigated the effects of maternal zinc and β-carotene supplementation on the infant's morbidity and immune function during the first 6 months of life...
Sex differences in prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency in infancy in a large multi-country trial in South-East AsiaFrank T Wieringa
University Medical Center Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Br J Nutr 98:1070-6. 2007..Our findings suggest that in especially the second half of infancy, Fe requirements for boy infants are approximately 0.9 mg/d higher than for girl infants...
Reduced production of immunoregulatory cytokines in vitamin A- and zinc-deficient Indonesian infantsF T Wieringa
Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Combined iron and zinc supplementation in infants improved iron and zinc status, but interactions reduced efficacy in a multicountry trial in southeast AsiaFrank T Wieringa
Department of Internal Medicine, UMCN, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
J Nutr 137:466-71. 2007..Zinc supplementation may negatively affect iron status but iron supplementation does not seem to affect zinc status. Furthermore, VAC administration in the absence of iron supplementation may increase the incidence of anemia...

Iron deficiency and NRAMP1 polymorphisms (INT4, D543N and 3'UTR) do not contribute to severity of anaemia in tuberculosis in the Indonesian populationEdhyana Sahiratmadja
Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology, Jakarta, Indonesia
Br J Nutr 98:684-90. 2007..In conclusion, most active TB patients had anaemia, which was probably due to inflammation and not to Fe deficiency since TB treatment without Fe supplementation was sufficient to restore Hb concentration...
