EURRECA-Estimating Selenium Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Current reference values for selenium, an essential micronutrient, are based on the intake of selenium that is required to achieve maximal glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma or erythrocytes. In order to assess the ...
EURRECA-Estimating Iodine Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones, and current recommendations for intake are based on urinary iodine excretion, assessment of thyroid size, thyroidal iodine accumulation and turnover, radioactive iodine ...
EURRECA-Principles and Future for Deriving Micronutrient Recommendations
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
The EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) Network of Excellence (NoE) explored an approach for setting micronutrient recommendations, which would address the variation in recommendations across Europe. ...
EURRECA-Estimating Iron Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Currently, a factorial approach is used to derive reference values for iron. Calculations include the use of a bioavailability factor to convert the physiological requirement, derived from obligatory losses and requirements ...
EURRECA-Estimating Zinc Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Zinc was selected as a priority micronutrient for EURRECA, because there is significant heterogeneity in the Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) across Europe. In addition, the prevalence of inadequate zinc intakes was thought ...
