Whole blood organic content

Direct measurement of circulating thiamine concentration may be made in plasma, erythrocytes, or whole blood. The plasma (or serum) concentration is thought to reflect recent intake and is mainly unphosphorylated thiamine at low concentration (around 10 to 20nmol/L). Because the erythrocyte contains approximately 80% of the total thiamine content of whole blood,mainly as the pyrophosphate, and erythrocyte thiamine stores deplete at a similar rate to other major organs, HPLC measurement of TPP in erythrocytes is a good indicator of body stores. Typical HPLC methods include a protein precipitation step, precolumn or postcolumn formation of the fluorophore thiochrome, usually with alkaline ferricyanide and isocratic separation. The method is easily standardized with pure... 

The content of any substrate calculated on the basis of an entile fish can be called the provision of the organism with the substrate. This term was first introduced by Korzhuev (1964) to denote the total amount of blood in the whole body. 

Selection of Foods Rich in Essential Minerals. Foods which comprise the most vital tissues of plants and animals are likely to be the richest in essential minerals, because mineral elements participate in the important life functions of these organisms. Hence, the animal products highest in mineral content are blood, bones, milk, and the vital organs, whereas leaves and seeds contain the highest levels of minerals found in the plant foods. Therefore, a mineral-rich diet may be assured by including a wide variety of such foods eis dairy products fish and other seafoods meats and poultry (hearts, kidneys, and livens are much richer in minerals than the muscle meats) beans and peas molasses nuts heibs spices tea raw, unpeeled vegetables and whole grain breads and cereal products.
