This study was performed to examine the effect of excess vitamin A feeding on lipid profile and vitamin A content of rats. 12 male Sprague-Dawley rats. weighing 114.1$\pm$0.9g, were divided into control and excess vitamin A group, and fed experimental diet for 6 weeks. In the excess vitamin A group, the level of vitamin A was 400, 000 1.U./kg diet(100 times of standard level). It was observed that vitamin A excess group had higher levels of plasma total lipid, total cholesterol, and trighlyceride and lower HDL ratio, indicating a high risk to coronary heart disease. In the liver, total CHOL and TG content were also high, and fatty liver was produced by excess Vitamin A. Vitamin A contents of organs were higher when excess vitamin A was given. These results suggested that excess vitamin A could be a dietary factor increasing the lipid contents of plasma and liver. Therefore, it could be said that vitamin A megadose can be one of the risk factors to coronary heart disease.

Vitarnin A levels of egg yolk from hens fed diets supplemented with vitamin A increased slowly up to Week 4, while the values rapidly increased thereafter. The highest value(360% of initial value) was observed at Week 8 in birds fed 64,000 IU of vitamin A/kg diet. On the other hand, the contents of vitamin E in egg yolk rapidly increased in the first 2 weeks of the experiment and then stabilized up to Week 8. However, the efficiency of egg transfer decreased(P<0.05) as dietary vitamins A and E levels increased. It took at least 4 weeks for the increased levels of vitamin A and E in eggs from hens fed diets supplemented with each vitamin to recover the normal levels. Vitamin E levels of egg yolk in hens fed the vitamin A supplemented diets decreased as dietary vitamin A level increased (P<0.05). On the other hand, a slightly reduced levels of vitamin A levels of egg yolks from hens fed the vitamin E supplemented diet for 4 weeks of experiment was recovered back to control level at Week 8(P<0.05). Supplemental vitamin A markedly decreased the yolk deposition of vitamin F when two vitamins were supplemented simultaneously. The yolk deposition of vitamin A decreased as high level of vitamin B was supplemented, suggesting an antagonistic interactions between the two vitamins.

This study was conducted to investigate the interaction of vitamins A and E on their transfer from diet to chicken eggs and the effect of vitamin A flood-dosing on its concentration in eggs and livers. In Experiment I, forty-two 45-wk-old brown layers (Bobeock) were divided into seven groups and fed one of seven diets: control, three vitamin A supplemented diets(8, OOO, 16, 000, and 64, 000 IU /kg diet) or three vitamin E supplemented diets (50, 100, and 200 IU/kg diet). In Experiment II, a total of thirty-two 35-wk-old white layers (Hy-ine) were divided into four groups and fed one of four diets :control, vitamin A 20, 00O+vitamin E 200 TU /kg, vitamin A 50, O00+vitamin E 200 IU /kg or vitamin A 100, OO0+vitamin E 200 lU/kg supplemented diets. In Experiment III, a total of fifty-six 35-wk-old white layers (Hy-line) was divided into four groups and fed one of four diets: control or three vitamin A supplemented diets (80, 000, 120, 000 and 160, 000 lU/kg diet). In Experiment I, vitamin E levels of egg yolk in hens fed the vitamin A supplemented diets decreased as dietary vitamin A level increased (P

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent, primarily due to limited sun exposure, which may be observed in urban areas, or as a result of modern lifestyles. Common myths about vitamin D persist, including that it is mostly obtained from the diet and is only essential for bone and mineral homeostasis. Nonetheless, advances in biomedical science suggest that vitamin D is a hormone that is integral to numerous physiologic functions in most cells and tissues. Therefore, abnormal vitamin D levels may contribute to health disturbances. A number of recent reports on potential associations between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease have highlighted its role in this system. A focus over the previous decade has been to better understand the mechanisms behind vitamin D regulation and the pathophysiology associated with suboptimal vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is highly associated with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, even when considering other well-known risk factors. In this process, the renin-angiotensin system is disrupted, and hypertension and endothelial dysfunction contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease. Likewise, clinical outcomes upon the normalization of vitamin D levels have been investigated in different patient populations. It makes sense that vitamin D supplementation to improve vitamin D status among vitamin D-deficient individuals could be useful without requiring a sudden lifestyle change. This manuscript provides a brief overview of vitamin D metabolism and the vitamin D receptor. It also summarizes the current clinical research relating to vitamin D supplementation and its effects on hypertension and endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular medicine.

Objectives: New retinol activity equivalent (RAE) was introduced as vitamin A unit in Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for Koreans 2015. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of 2015 reference intake (RI) of vitamin A in RAE unit by the comparison with RI and dietary intake of vitamin A. Methods: Analyses on RI of vitamin A were based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for Koreans (1962~2000) and DRIs for Koreans (2005~2015). Analyses on Koreans dietary intake of vitamin A were based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES) reports (1969-2014). For recalculation of RI and dietary intake of vitamin A in RE to RAE, 2013 Koreans intake of retinol: carotenoids ratio of 13: 87 was applied. Results: RI of vitamin A was 600~750 RE for Korean adult, and 339~425 RAE when calculated by applying the retinol and carotenoids intake ratio. Vitamin A intakes of Koreans were <100% RI, 267~668 RE from 1969 to 2001. From 2005, vitamin A intake had increased to >700 RE, >100% RI. When vitamin A intake was converted from RE to RAE (2005~2014), 718~864 RE became 405.8~488.1 RAE, decreased to 56.5% level. The recent 2015 RI of vitamin A is 850 RAE, two times of 2005 & 2010 RI of 425 RAE for adult male. Conclusions: When nutritional status of vitamin A was assessed for Koreans using the estimated average requirement (EAR) of 2015 (570, 460 RAE for male, female adults, respectively), ratio of deficient people increased significantly when judged based on the previous intake of Koreans, <490 RAE. We needs to examine the 2015 RI (EAR) of vitamin A, find a way to measure the accurate intake of dietary vitamin A, and to increase the dietary intake of this vitamin.

본 연구에서는 비타민 A 과량 섭취가 비타민 K 기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 carboxylase의 기질인 쥐의 간내 microsome 단백질과 첨가된 펩티드의 vitamin K-dependent carboxylation rate를 측정하였다. In vitro 실험에서는 정상 vit.A 섭취군의 간 microsome을 vit.A 로 incubation했을때 간 내 prothrombin 선구 물질이나 첨가된 peptide기질의 carboxylation rate는 영향을 받지 않았다. 이와 비슷한 양상으로서 무비타민 K 식이와 함께 비타민 A를 정상수준 혹은 과잉 수준으로 섭취한 쥐를 비교한 경우에는 동일군 간에는 carboxylation rate에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 비타민 A 과잉군의 간내 단백질의 carboxylation rate는 대조군에 비하여 증가하는 경향이었다, 비타민 A 과잉군은 비타민 A로 incubate한 경우나 하지 않은 경우 모두 대조군에 비하여 약 2~3 배 의 carboxylase 활성을 보였다. In vivo study 에서는 첨가된 peptide에 대한 carboxylase활성은 비타민 A 광일 섭취에 의하여 영향을 받지 않았다. 그러나 간 내 단백질의 carboxylation rate는 비타민 A과잉군이 대조군에 비하여 2~3 배나 더 높았다. Carboxylase 활성은 대조군이나 비타민 A과잉군 모두 연구기간이 진행될수록 더 증가하였다. 그리고 간 내 단백질의 carboxylation에 대한 비타민 A 과잉 효과는 실험 식이를 시작한 후 일주일 정도에서 나타나기 시작하였다. 그러므로 이 연구 결과는 비타민 A 과잉 시에는 과잉증이 빠른 시일내에 일어나며, 비타민 A 과잉은 비타민 K 결핍의 지표인 prothrombin 의 선구물질을 증가시킨다는 것을 시사한다.

Objective: Adequate vitamin and trace mineral intake for pigs are important to achieve satisfactory growth performance. There are no data available on the vitamin and trace mineral intake across pig producers in China. The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe the amount of vitamin and trace minerals used in Chinese pig diets. Methods: A 1-year survey of supplemented vitamin and trace minerals in pig diets was organized in China. A total of 69 producers were invited for the survey, which represents approximately 90% of the pig herd in China. Data were compiled by bodyweight stages to determine descriptive statistics. Nutrients were evaluated for vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B₆, vitamin B₁₂, pantothenic acid, niacin, folic acid, biotin, choline, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, selenium, and iodine. Data were statistically analyzed by functions in Excel. Results: The results indicated variation for supplemented vitamin (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B₁₂, pantothenic acid, niacin, and choline) and trace minerals (copper, manganese, zinc, and iodine) in pig diets, but most vitamins and trace minerals were included at concentrations far above the total dietary requirement estimates reported by the National Research Council and the China's Feeding Standard of Swine. Conclusion: The levels of vitamin and trace mineral used in China's pig industry vary widely. Adding a high concentration for vitamin and trace mineral appears to be common practice in pig diets. This investigation provides a reference for supplementation rates of the vitamins and trace minerals in the China's pig industry.
