chlorine and Folic Acid Deficiency

chlorine has been researched along with Folic Acid Deficiency in 1 studies

chloride : A halide anion formed when chlorine picks up an electron to form an an anion.

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)

" The mean rate of absorption of water in the alcoholic subjects (50-0 +/- 2-3 ml/h) was significantly lower (P less than 0-001) than the mean value in 14 healthy control subjects (205 +/- 15-9 ml/h)."2.35Alcohol and absorption from the small intestine. 1. Impairment of absorption from the small intestine in alcoholics. ( Carmichael, HA; Cochran, KM; Krasner, N; Russell, RI; Thompson, GG, 1976)
