[119] Physiology [edit] Absorption [edit] Vitamin B 12 is absorbed by a B 12 -specific transport proteins or via passive diffusion
Heres an overview of the main benefits of vitamin B12, grouped into several key categories: Red blood cell formation : Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production and maintenance of healthy red blood cells, preventing megaloblastic anemia
Despite the numerous processes in which vitamin B12 is involved, theres little evidence to suggest that it has any influence on weight gain or loss
It can improve the nutritive status of the animal and lead to improved muscular performance
One hypothesis is that the tissue reservoir of the neutrophils (expressing TCN1) can surround the tumor and attack it, thus explaining the high staining of TCN1 or its gene expression in tumor cells, compared to adjacent cells [13,49,53], and the association between high TCN1 expression in the tumor and low patient survival [53]
