Folic acid deficiency and depression
Psychosomatics, 1980Abstract To explore the association between folic acid deficiency and depression, the authors selected 48 patients and divided them into three groups–depressed patients, psychiatrically ill (but nondepressed) patients, and medically ill patients. All patients were hospitalized for one week and received standard diets with no drugs or vitamins. At the

Folic acid deficiency and prematurity
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1964Serum folate levels were serially determined in 57 premature infants from birth to 7 months of age. Twenty-four normal children and 21 normal adults served as controls. The mean value of folate activity was significantly lowest between 1 and 3 months of age.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1967FOLATE deficiency has been recognized for some time to be the cause of most cases of macrocytic anemia of pregnancy.1 2 3 The association of megaloblastic anemia with hemorrhage during pregnancy was first noted by Hourihane et al.4 and by Coyle and Geoghegan5 in Dublin.

Folic acid deficiency and neutrophil dysfunction
The American Journal of Medicine, 1982Polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions were studied in 92 patients with protein-calorie malnutrition. Serum folic acid levels were higher than 3 ng/ml in 38 patients and 3 ng/ml or less in 54 patients. Significant differences were found between these two groups of patients with regard to phagocytosis (81.5 +/- 1.9 versus 69.2 +/- 2.0 percent, p less ...

1969
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses folate requirement in man and the frequency of folate deficiency. The minimal daily adult requirement for folate is in the range of 50μg. This requirement is increased by any rise in daily metabolic rate or cell turnover rate as in hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, and hemolytic anemia.

Folic Acid Deficiency from Anticonvulsant Therapy
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1968SUMMARYFolic acid deficiency may result from treatment with various antiepileptic drugs. This seems more likely to be due to an interference with folic acid metabolism than to defective absorption. Seventy‐two patients on such treatment were studied. Eleven had serum folate levels below 2 mμg.

The neurology of folic acid deficiency
2014The metabolism of folic acid and the metabolism of vitamin B12 are intimately linked such that deficiency of either vitamin leads to an identical megaloblastic anemia. The neurologic manifestations of folate deficiency overlap with those of vitamin B12 deficiency and include cognitive impairment, dementia, depression, and, less commonly, peripheral ...

FOLIC ACID DEFICIENCY AND CONGENITAL MALFORMATION
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1972SummaryIn a prospective study of 2949 singleton pregnancies the maternal serum folate level was assayed at booking in early pregnancy. No association was found between a low serum folate level and congenital malformation of the fetus either in the index pregnancy or in previous pregnancies.
