Effects of Antioxidant Vitamins, Curry Consumption, and Heavy Metal Levels on Metabolic Syndrome with Comorbidities: A Korean Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study Vitamins and curry supplements might reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. The results indicate that thiamine and curry intakes might protect the public against the dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases in Korea. However, further work is required to determine the nature of the mechanisms involved. Vitamin A and E were measured with Chromsystems HPLC assay. 2021
Negative Correlation Between Vitamin A and Positive Correlation Between Vitamin E and Inflammation Among Healthy Adults in Korea: Based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2016–2018 7th Edition Vitamins exert its effect through different isoforms. The isoform conversion phases involved are affected outside factors. Here, we investigated the correlation between serum retinol, α-tocopherol, and serum inflammatory markers using stratified data acquired from 2016 to 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Vitamin A and E are measured with the Chromsystems HPLC assay in this study 2020
Antioxidant Activity with Increased Endogenous Levels of Vitamin C, E and A Following Dietary Supplementation with a Combination of Glutathione and Resveratrol Precursors This study provides preliminary evidence for the use of GSH precursors combined with polydatin to maintain redox status into an ideal range. Chromsystems assays were used for the determination of vitamin A/E/C 2020
Association Between Serum Retinol and α-Tocopherol Levels and Metabolic Syndrome in Korean General Population: Analysis of Population-based Nationally Representative Data high serum retinol and α-tocopherol levels were associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome. Vitamin A and E were measured with Chromsystems HPLC assay.  2020
Patisiran Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Exposure‐Response Analyses in the Phase 3 APOLLO Trial in Patients With Hereditary Transthyretin‐Mediated (hATTR) Amyloidosis The patisiran dosing regimen of 0.3 mg/kg every 3 weeks is appropriate for all patients with hATTR amyloidosis. A measured with HPLC assay from Chromsystems. 2020
Assessment of Vitamin Status in Patients with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease: Potential Role of Vitamin A as a Risk Factor Their study suggests that altered vitamin status is associated with mycobacterial disease, and that vitamin A might play an important role in nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease.  The analysis of vitamin A/E was performed by the HPLC assay from Chromsystems. 2019
Impact of HSD17B13 rs72613567 genotype on hepaticdecompensation and mortality in patients with portalhypertension In patients with viral hepatitis‐ and ALD‐induced portal hypertension, the T > TA‐variant was not protective of hepatic decompensation and mortality. Further studies should investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the effects of HSD17B13 genotype at different stages of liver disease. 2019
Oxidized and electronegative low-density lipoprotein as potential biomarkers of cardiovascular risk in obese adolescents Obese adolescents showed increased plasma LDL(-) and oxLDL, and obese girls had more LDL(-) than obese boys. Therefore, oxLDL is strongly and independently associated with classical cardiovascular risk factors, while increased levels of LDL(-) were influenced by body mass index, waist circumference and demographic parameters in obese adolescents. antioxidants all measured by Chromsystems assays. 2018
Vitamin A Status in Healthy Women Eating Traditionally Prepared Spirulina (Dihé) in the Chad Lake Area We demonstrate that β-carotene in spirulina is an effective positive modulator of blood retinol status and that a natural food compound, Dihè, is a potential natural source of β-carotene to achieve an optimal vitamin A status in healthy women. Vitamin A and ß-carotene measured by Chromsystems assay. 2018
Vitamin A Status in Healthy Women Eating Traditionally Prepared Spirulina (Dihé) in the Chad Lake Area The results confirm that β-carotene in spirulina is an effective positive modulator of blood retinol status.
