To estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D) <50 nmol/L among recently arrived immigrants from Africa and Asia in Oslo, and to explore 25(OH)D levels according to origin, gender and age.
Answer:
The answer is Vitamin E or α-tocopherol.
Explanation:
Vitamin E is a <u>fat-soluble</u> vitamin is first absorbed in the small intestine and is then <u>stored at the liver</u>. It is an <u>antioxidant</u> which <u>protects cells from free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS)</u>. It can also prevent bad cholesterol from depositing in the blood vessels.
Vitamin E can be <u>naturally found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils</u>. As a dietary supplement, it takes the form of α-tocopherol. The RDA depends on the age of the person, as it may range from <u>4 mg to 15 mg per day</u>.
<u>Vitamin E deficiency is so rare</u> that it will only occur if the person has a <u>fat malabsorption illness like Crohn's disease, abetalipoproteinemia</u>, etc. Symptoms of deficiency include <em>muscle weakness, retinal degradation, peripheral neuropathy, and an immunocompromised state</em>.
A third-degree burn would be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area because of the destruction of underlying pain receptors.
Nerve endings are destroyed in third-degree burns, which means that a person can no longer feel pain in that particular spot on the body. Third-degree burns are the most severe ones and cannot be treated easily - usually skin grafting or synthetic skin has to be used to replace the burnt skin.
