adenine and Folic Acid Deficiency

adenine has been researched along with Folic Acid Deficiency in 6 studies

Folic Acid Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of FOLIC ACID in the diet. Many plant and animal tissues contain folic acid, abundant in green leafy vegetables, yeast, liver, and mushrooms but destroyed by long-term cooking. Alcohol interferes with its intermediate metabolism and absorption. Folic acid deficiency may develop in long-term anticonvulsant therapy or with use of oral contraceptives. This deficiency causes anemia, macrocytic anemia, and megaloblastic anemia. It is indistinguishable from vitamin B 12 deficiency in peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, but the neurologic lesions seen in B 12 deficiency do not occur. (Merck Manual, 16th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Treatment with nimodipine [an L voltage-sensitive calcium channel (LVSCC) antagonist], MK-801 (an NMDA channel antagonist) and thapsigarin (an inhibitor of efflux of calcium from internal stores) indicated that folate deprivation initially induced calcium influx via the LVSCC, with subsequent additional calcium derived from NMDA channels and internal stores."1.32Folate deficiency and homocysteine induce toxicity in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons via cytosolic calcium accumulation.
