TL;DR: Plasma holo-TC may be a fast-responding biomarker to monitor adequate supply of vitamin B12 in plant-based individuals to reduce the risk of micronutrient deficiencies in Vegans.

TL;DR: Four weeks of a controlled VD affected the number of neutrophils, monocytes and platelets but not the number or function of lymphocytes, and the relation with branched-chain amino acids and GM-CSF suggests a mode of action via the mTOR signaling pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine whether an isocaloric vegan diet lowers dietary acid load (DAL) as compared to a meat-rich diet, which was determined using potential renal acid load and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) scores at baseline and after 3 and 4 weeks.

TL;DR: Investigation of the T cell proliferation inhibitory potential of an extract library of plants used in traditional Chinese medicine found that an ethyl acetate extract of Artemisia argyi was found to suppress the proliferation of human primary T lymphocytes in vitro in an IL-2-dependent manner.

TL;DR: Transcription factor analysis showed that the immunosuppressive effects of the extract are based on specific NFAT-conditioned suppression within T cell signaling, and 3-O-acetyl-alpha-boswellic acid was identified as the compound responsible for theNFAT-based mechanism.
