The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T genotype and the risk of obesity in three large population-based cohorts. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Epidemiological studies have shown that low folate levels are associated with a high body mass index (BMI). These findings have potentially important health implications and warrant further investigation to determine whether a causal ...

Prognostic significance of folate metabolism polymorphisms for lung cancer. [PDF]
Functional nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) of folate metabolism genes can influence the methylation of tumour suppressor genes, thereby potentially impacting on tumour behaviour.

Modulation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase activity by S-adenosylmethionine and by dihydrofolate and its polyglutamate analogues [PDF]
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase catalyzes the reduction of methylenetetrahydrofolate ot methyltetrahydrofolate. This reaction commits one carbon units to the pathways of adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation in mammalian cells.

No association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism and breast cancer.
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme (EC 1.5.1.20), that reduces 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a carbon donor for the homocysteine to methionine conversion.

High folic acid consumption leads to pseudo-MTHFR deficiency, altered lipid metabolism, and liver injury in mice. [PDF]
Increased consumption of folic acid is prevalent, leading to concerns about negative consequences. The effects of folic acid on the liver, the primary organ for folate metabolism, are largely unknown.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and methionine synthase: biochemistry and molecular biology [PDF]
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase catalyze the penultimate and ultimate steps in the biosynthesis of methionine in prokaryotes, and are required for the regeneration of the methyl group of methionine in ...
