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
"We examined whether genetic disruption of the Shmt1 gene in mice induces NTDs in response to maternal folate and choline deficiency and whether a corresponding disruption in de novo thymidylate biosynthesis underlies NTD pathogenesis."3.77Shmt1 and de novo thymidylate biosynthesis underlie folate-responsive neural tube defects in mice. ( Abarinov, EV; Allen, RH; Beaudin, AE; Chu, S; Noden, DM; Perry, CA; Stabler, SP; Stover, PJ, 2011)
"Purine synthesis was increased when folic acid or thymidine was added to the culture medium."1.27Purine synthesis and reutilization in folate-deficient rat hepatocytes. ( Clifford, AJ; Clifford, CK; Walzem, RL, 1983)
