Microbial Metabolic Capacity for Intestinal Folate Production and Modulation of Host Folate Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microbial metabolites, including B complex vitamins contribute to diverse aspects of human health. Folate, or vitamin B9, refers to a broad category of biomolecules that include pterin, para-aminobenzoic acid (pABA), and glutamate subunits.

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms of folate transport in rat pancreas; interference with ethanol ingestion. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Folic acid is an essential nutrient that is required for one-carbon biosynthetic processes and for methylation of biomolecules. Deficiency of this micronutrient leads to disturbances in normal physiology of cell.

Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] grown under nitrogen deficiency exhibits a lower folate contents

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2023
Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.], as a rich source of folates, has been cultivated on arid infertile lands, for which N deficiency is one of the major issues. Growing environments might have a significant influence on cereal folate levels.

Folate and Asthma [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2013
Abstract Findings from experimental studies and animal models led to the hypothesis that folic acid supplementation during pregnancy confers an increased risk of asthma. This review provides a critical examination of current experimental and epidemiologic evidence of a causal association between folate status and asthma.

Expression Levels of the γ-Glutamyl Hydrolase I Gene Predict Vitamin B9 Content in Potato Tubers

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Biofortification of folates in staple crops is an important strategy to help eradicate human folate deficiencies. Folate biofortification using genetic engineering has shown great success in rice grain, tomato fruit, lettuce, and potato tuber.

Low folate intake and serum levels are associated with higher body mass index and abdominal fat accumulation: a case control study

open access: yesNutrition Journal, 2020
Background The link between folate metabolism and obesity has recently been underlined, suggesting that folate deficiency may lead to body weight gain and adiposity.

Prevalence of low folate deficiency after wheat flour supplementation – should we still measure serum folate?

open access: yesHematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy, 2018
Objectives: To determine the frequency of folic acid deficiency in consecutive serum folate determinations and to determine whether there was a significant decrease in serum folate deficiency after folate was added to wheat flour.

Folate Intake and Markers of Folate Status in Women of Reproductive Age, Pregnant and Lactating Women: A Meta-Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2012
Background. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are at risk for folate deficiency. Folate supplementation has been shown to be associated with enhanced markers of folate status. However, dose-response analyses for adult women are still lacking.

Folate deficiency-induced oxidative stress contributes to neuropathy in young and aged zebrafish — Implication in neural tube defects and Alzheimer's diseases

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2014
Folate is a nutrient essential for the development, function and regeneration of nervous systems. Folate deficiency has been linked to many neurological disorders including neural tube defects in fetus and Alzheimer's diseases in the elderly.

Folate – a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023

open access: yesFood & Nutrition Research, 2023
Folate is an essential micronutrient for normal development and metabolic function, and folate deficiency is associated with an increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental dysfuntion and negative pregnancy outcomes.
