Popis: Background/Aim: Vitamin B12 is essential for normal neural conduction in peripheral nerves. This study aimed to investigate the electrophysiological profile for varying degrees of serum B12 levels and to determine whether a correlation existed between electrophysiological profiles and serum methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels. Also, determination of subclinical peripheral nerve involvement with cold administration was planned in serum B12 levels. Methods: A total of 101 (63 females, 38 males) subjects with known serum vitamin B12 levels were selected randomly from the neurology outpatient clinic for this study. The subjects were divided into three groups based on the serum total Vitamin B12 levels: (1) B12 deficiency (
