Serum vitamin B 12 levels and vitamin B 12 binding capacity in pregnant and non-pregnant Europeans and West Indians

T S Low-Beer et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

The vitamin B(12) level and the capacity of serum to bind B(12) are higher in the West Indian population living in Great Britain than in Europeans. The B(12) level fell during pregnancy in both groups but remained higher in the West Indians. West Indians had higher levels of IgG.
