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

Journal 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

Neurobiology 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.

How well do blood folate concentrations predict dietary folate intakes in a sample of Canadian lactating women exposed to high levels of folate? An observational study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2007
Background In 1998, mandatory folic acid fortification of white flour and select cereal grain products was implemented in Canada with the intention to increase dietary folate intakes of reproducing women.

Maternal folate deficiency causes inhibition of mTOR signaling, down-regulation of placental amino acid transporters and fetal growth restriction in mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Maternal folate deficiency is linked to restricted fetal growth, however the underlying mechanisms remain to be established. Here we tested the hypothesis that mTOR functions as a folate sensor in vivo in mice and that maternal folate deficiency inhibits

Analysis of the mediating role of BMI in associations of different folate forms with hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis in adolescents in the USA: results from the NHANES 2017-2018

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundMost studies have explored the relationship between serum total folate and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults, but there has been no study on the relationship between different folate forms and hepatic steatosis or liver ...

Determination of five folate monoglutamates in rodent diets [PDF]

, 2015
A method for the quantitative determination of folates in rodent diets is very important for correct interpretation of folate intake during feeding trials, given the possible discrepancy between the actual folate concentration in the diet and that ...

Folate deprivation induces neurodegeneration: roles of oxidative stress and increased homocysteine

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003
Clinical studies suggest a relationship between folate deficiency and neurological and disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To investigate mechanisms underlying this association, we examined the consequences of folate deprivation on neuronal ...

Folate determination in livers of different animal species

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2020
The liver is the main storage organ for folate. In the study the folate content in chicken, turkey, pig, and beef livers was evaluated with the use of the HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) method which allowed various folate vitamers ...
