Micronutrient Biomarker Selection and Assay Methods and Performance in Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Micronutrient Dose Response (MiNDR) Trials among Women of Reproductive Age and Pregnant Women in Rural Bangladesh
The detailed account of micronutrient biomarker assays in the dose-response MMS trials provides a useful framework for designing future research involving comprehensive assessments of micronutrient status in vulnerable populations. External quality assurance tools are warranted for UPLC-based B1, B2, and B3 vitamers, and for kinetic assays of B1, B2, and selenium.
