Deficiencia de micronutrientes y enfermedad
celíaca en pediatría
RESUMEN
La enfermedad celíaca (EC) parece estar cambiando en su clínica, desde formas diarreicas con desnutrición hasta aquellas con clínica más silente y más tardía. La enteropatía de la EC ocurre con malabsorción de macro- y micronutrientes, que incluyen Fe, Zn, Cu, folato, Ca, vitaminas E, D, B12 y B6, con mecanismos de transporte
alterados. La anemia ferropriva se ha descrito en EC como única manifestación o como la manifestación extraintestinal más frecuente. La deficiencia de Zn es frecuente ...

Celiac Disease and Overweight in Children: An Update
Abstract: The clinical presentation of celiac disease in children is very variable and differs with age. The prevalence of atypical presentations of celiac disease has increased over the past 2 decades. Several studies in adults and children with celiac disease indicate that obesity/overweight at disease onset is not unusual. In addition, there is a trend towards the development of overweight/obesity in celiac patients who strictly comply with a gluten-free diet. However, the pathogenesis and clinical implications of the coexistence ...

Bone Mineral Density at Diagnosis of Celiac Disease and after 1 Year of Gluten-Free Diet
1. Introduction
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder, characterized by villus atrophy of the proximal small
intestinal mucosa and malabsorption of nutrients after the ingestion of wheat gluten or related proteinsin genetically susceptible individuals expressing the HLA class II molecules DQ2 or DQ8. Prompt clinical and histologic improvement is observed following strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) [1]. Several extraintestinal manifestations, including anemia, ...

B vitamins related to homocysteine metabolism in adults celiac disease patients: a cross-sectional study
Abstract
Background: The only treatment for celiac disease is the gluten-free diet. Few studies have assessed the nutritional
adequacy of this diet, especially of B vitamins related to homocysteine metabolism. The aim of this study was to
assess the nutritional status and serum concentrations of B vitamins involved in homocysteine metabolism, and to
determine whether the dietary intake of these vitamins are meeting Dietary Reference Intakes in celiac patients.
Methods: A cross-...

Analysis of the concentration of vitamin E in erythrocytes of patients with celiac disease
Abstract
Introduction: Consumption of gluten proteins leads to an enteropathy characterised by lymphocytic infiltration of mucous membrane, crypts hypertrophy, and atrophy of villi. Enteropathy leads to disturbances in the immune system as well as secondary deficiency of vitamin E.
Aim: Analysis of the concentration of vitamin E in erythrocytes of patients with celiac disease.
Material and methods: Three experimental groups were distinguished among 77 patients with histologically confirmed ...

An unusual case of hypercalcemia in a patient of concomitant hypoparathyroidism and celiac disease
Summary
Milk alkali syndrome has shown resurgence with increase in use of (prescription or non prescription) calcium
supplements. Cases of iatrogenic vitamin D intoxication has also increased due to increasing use of high doses of injectable vitamin D formulations by physicians, surgeons, orthopaedicians, gynecologists and other specialties inadvertently. Here, we present an unusual case of a 17-year-old boy who presented with iatrogenic hypercalcemia as a result of combination ...
Revista Brasileira de Nutrição Funcional – 2018 – edição 74
A individualidade bioquímica é um pilar fundamental da nutrição funcional, que direciona condutas personalizadas para cada indivíduo. Esta edição traz uma revisão que tem como tema central a aplicação da nutrigenômica na determinação do melhor tipo de dieta, mostrando o impacto das variações genéticas nas nossas necessidades nutricionais individuais.
Contribuindo para a atualização e prática clínica dos nutricionistas em relação às doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, duas revisões elucidam o papel da nutrição tanto na perda e manutenção do peso corpor...

Vitamin D, Neurosteroids and Autism
Summary
Vitamin D had been for a long time investigated for its effects on bone metabolism. Recently has been observed that the incidence of some neurodevelopmental disorders (including autism) increases hand in hand with vitamin D deficiency. Indeed, vitamin D was reported to modulate the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors; moreover, its receptor was found in the central nervous system. Vitamin D deficiency was therefore assessed as a risk factor for autism, however the biological mechanism has not yet been revealed. In ...
