methylmalonic acid and Acrania

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Acrania in 9 studies

Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.
methylmalonic acid : A dicarboxylic acid that is malonic acid in which one of the methylene hydrogens is substituted by a methyl group.

"Mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid has reduced the number of neural tube defects in North America."5.13Bread cofortified with folic acid and vitamin B-12 improves the folate and vitamin B-12 status of healthy older people: a randomized controlled trial. ( Brouwer, IA; Clarke, R; Katan, MB; Verhoef, P; Winkels, RM, 2008)
"Although early epidemiologic studies showed a protective effect of adequate maternal folic acid (FA) status against neural tube defects (NTDs), the role of adequate vitamin B-12 nutrition in the putative reduction of NTD frequency has remained uncertain."4.85Vitamin B-12 and neural tube defects: the Canadian experience.
