vanadium

Vanadium is a mineral that may be necessary for normal growth. Vanadium has many valence states, and biologically significant is the tetravalent and pentavalent states. The tetravalent vanadium is a vanadium-based cation, which is easily combined with a protein to form a complex, and is prevented from being oxidized. The vanadate is reduced by vitamin C, glutathione or NADH. Its role in human health, the nutrition community, the medical community is still not very clear, still in the process of further exploration, but it can be determined that vanadium plays an important role. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development examination classification: blood examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Actively cooperate with the doctor's work arrangements. Normal value Normal adult body contains 25mg of vanadium. Clinical significance Abnormal results vanadium is not easy to accumulate in the body, so poisoning caused by food intake is very rare, but more than 10mg per day or 10-20 micrograms of vanadium per gram of food can cause poisoning. Slow growth, diarrhea and death can usually occur. Vanadium deficiency is manifested in studies of goats and rats reported in 1987. Vanadium-deficient goats showed increased abortion and reduced milk production. In rat experiments, vanadium deficiency caused growth inhibition, an increase in the ratio of thyroid weight to body weight, and changes in plasma thyroid hormone concentrations. Research on human deficiencies is not clear, and some studies suggest that its lack may lead to cardiovascular and kidney disease, loss of wound regeneration and repair and neonatal death. Precautions Inappropriate crowd: None. Taboo before inspection: None. Requirements for inspection: Actively cooperate with the doctor's work arrangement. Inspection process The sample is taken in the human body, and after the sample is processed, it is detected by an instrument to obtain a ratio of the content of vanadium in the human body. Not suitable for the crowd No taboos. Adverse reactions and risks May cause an infection.
