Maternal nutritional status, C1 metabolism and offspring DNA methylation: a review of current evidence in human subjects. [PDF]
, 2011 : Evidence is growing for the long-term effects of environmental factors during early-life on later disease susceptibility. It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms (changes in gene function not mediated by DNA sequence alteration), particularly DNA ...

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 ...

Do dietary patterns in older men influence change in homocysteine through folate fortification? The Normative Aging Study [PDF]
, 2009 Objective We aimed to describe the difference in B-vitamin intake and in plasma B-vitamin and homocysteine concentrations before and after folic acid fortification, in relation to dietary patterns. Design The Normative Aging Study (NAS) is a longitudinal

Folate and Inflammation – links between folate and features of inflammatory conditions
Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism, 2019 Folate serves as a cofactor for one-carbon (1C) transfer reactions. These reactions are involved in the synthesis of DNA nucleotides, the amino acid methionine, and in the regulation of homocysteine (Hcy) levels.

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1997 It is proven that folic acid supplied in the periconceptional period can lower the recurrence and occurrence rate of neural tube defects (NTDs). Our research team on prevention of birth defects could demonstrate that folic acid preventable NTDs are partly based on hyperhomocystinemia and a genetic predisposition (mutation of the ...
