Abstract excerpt
(1) Background: Vitamin B12 deficiency in Caenorhabditis elegans results in severe oxidative stress and induces morphological abnormality in mutants due to disordered cuticle collagen biosynthesis. We clarified the underlying mechanism leading to such mutant worms due to vitamin B12 deficiency. (2) Results: The deficient worms exhibited decreased collagen levels of up to approximately 59% compared with the...
