Comparison of Stated Iron Concentrations Between Name Brand and Generic Children's Multivitamins
… (RNA). With iron readily available in children's multivitamins, iron toxicity can become an issue when taking too many tablets. With two types of brands, generic and name brand, parents should be aware of the quality,-along with quantity, of the iron concentrations of the vitamins. This experiment …

Role of Methyl Group Vitamins in Hypothalamic Development of Food Intake Regulation in Wistar Rats
High multivitamin diets (HV, 10-fold AIN-93G) fed during pregnancy to Wistar rats produce offspring with increased food intake, obesity and characteristics of metabolic syndrome. The hypothesis that methyl group vitamins in HV gestational and pup diets modify expression of the obesogenic phenotypes …

Novel Transporter Targeted Lipid Ester Prodrugs of Cidofovir and Sustained Release Formulations for Cytomegalovirus Infection
… with ligand (biotin) targeting sodium dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT). We have successfully synthesized three biotinylated (B) derivatives (B-C2-cCDF, B-C6-cCDF, and B-C12-cCDF) and two lipid ester derivatives (C6-cCDF and C12-cCDF) of cCDF. Structure and purity of all the produgs were …
