Trimester-Specific Thyroid Function in Pregnant Women with Different Iodine Statuses
Conclusions: No difference was observed in TSH, FT3, or FT4 among the different iodine status groups throughout pregnancy. Tvol increased as the pregnancy progressed, and it was especially higher in the UIC ≥500 μg/L group in the first and third trimesters.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Revised D-A-CH Reference Values for the Intake of Vitamin B < sub > 6 < /sub >
Background: The Nutrition Societies of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as the joint editors of the “D-A-CH reference values for nutrient intake” have revised the reference values for vitamin B6 in summer 2019.Summary: For women, the average requirement (AR) for vitamin B6 intake was derived on the basis of balance studies using a pyridoxal-5 ′-phosphate (PLP) plasma concentration of ≥30 nmol/L as a biomarker of an adequate vitamin B6 status. The recommended intake (RI) was derived considering a coefficient of variation of 10%. The RIs of vitamin B6 for men, children, and adolescents were extrapolated from the vit...

Diagnostic Challenges Using a 2-Tier Strategy for Methylmalonic Acidurias: Data from 1.2 Million Dried Blood Spots
Conclusions: Applying a 2-tier strategy measuring MMA in NBS identified genetic conditions of MMAuria. It was possible to separate severe, early-onset phenotypes from maternal vitamin B12 deficiency. However, the detection of CblC deficiency with mildly elevated MMA interferes with impaired vitamin B12 status of unknown relevance and thus burdens possibly healthy newborns. Regarding maternal vitamin B12 deficiency, testing and supplementing mothers-to-be is preferable. This might decrease straining follow-up of newborns and improve quality and overall perception of NBS.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Glucomannan Inhibits Rice Gruel-Induced Increases in Plasma Glucose and Insulin Levels
Conclusions: Glucomannan dose-dependently inhibited the rice gruel-induced increase in 30-min postprandial plasma glucose and insulin levels. Furthermore, greater inhibitory effects on glucose and insulin elevation were observed in the borderline group than in the NGT group.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Direct Comparison of (Anthropometric) Methods for the Assessment of Body Composition
Conclusions: The study proved grounds for comparison of body composition results of young, healthy subjects, obtained with different methods and across a wide range of ANT regression equations. It also revealed a list of the most appropriate ANT regression equations for the selected sample and reported their accuracy and precision.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)
