    • Comparison of two modes of vitamin B12supplementation on neuroconduction and cognitive function among older ... 
      Sánchez, Hugo; Albala Brevis, Cecilia; Lera Marques, Lydia; Castillo, José; Verdugo Latorre, Renato; Lavados Montes, Manuel; Hertrampf, Eva; Brito, Alex; Allen, Lindsay; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo (BioMed Central Ltd., 2011)
      Background: Older people have a high risk of vitamin B 12deficiency; this can lead to varying degrees of cognitive and neurological impairment. CBL deficiency may present as macrocytic anemia, subacute combined degeneration ...
    • Non-heme iron as ferrous sulfate does not interact with heme iron absorption in humans 
      Gaitán, Diego; Olivares, Manuel; Lönnerdal, Bo; Brito, Alex; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando (2012)
      The absorption of heme iron has been described as distinctly different from that of non-heme iron. Moreover, whether heme and non-heme iron compete for absorption has not been well established. Our objective was to investigate ...
    • Plasma sarcosine measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry distinguishes prostatic intraepithelial ... 
      Markin, Pavel A.; Brito, Alex; Moskaleva, Natalia; Fodor, Miguel; Lartsova, Ekaterina, V; Shpot, Yevgeny V.; Lerner, Yulia; Mikhajlov, Vasily Y.; Potoldykova, Natalia,V.; Enikeev, Dimitry, V.; Lyundup, Alexey, V; Appolonova, Svetlana A. (Oxford University Press, 2020)
      Objective: Sarcosine was postulated in 2009 as a biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa). Here, we assess plasma sarcosine as a biomarker that is complementary to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Methods: Plasma sarcosine ...
    • Reducing iron deficiency anemia in Bolivian school children: Calcium and iron combined versus iron ... 
      Miranda, Melissa; Méndez, Marco; Brito, Alex; Pizarro Aguirre, Fernando (Elsevier, 2014)
      Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combined calcium and iron versus single iron supplementation on iron status in Bolivian schoolchildren. Methods: Children ages 6 to 10 y old (N = 195), were ...
    • The human serum metabolome of vitamin B-12 deficiency and repletion, and associations with neurological ... 
      Brito, Álex; Grapov, Dmitry; Fahrmann, Johannes; Harvey, Danielle; Green, Ralph; Miller, Joshua W.; Fedosov, Sergey N.; Shahab-Ferdows, Setareh; Hampel, Daniela; Pedersen, Theresa L.; Fiehn, Oliver; Newman, John W.; Uauy Dagach-Imbarack, Ricardo; Allen, Lindsay H. (American Society for Nutrition, 2017)
      Background:The specific metabolomic perturbations that occur in vitamin B-12 deficiency, and their associations withneurological function, are not well characterized.Objective:We sought to characterize the human serum ...
