Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early life stage folic acid deficiency on de novo telomere synthesis, neurobehavioral development, and the cognitive function of offspring rats."8.12Early Life Stage Folic Acid Deficiency Delays the Neurobehavioral Development and Cognitive Function of Rat Offspring by Hindering De Novo Telomere Synthesis. ( Huang, G; Li, W; Li, Z; Sun, Y; Yan, J; Zhou, D, 2022)
"DNA uracil content was not different between the two groups at any of the folic acid concentrations (two-way ANOVA: media [folic acid], P < 0."5.31Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism does not alter folic acid deficiency-induced uracil incorporation into primary human lymphocyte DNA in vitro. ( Ames, BN; Crott, JW; Fenech, MF; Mashiyama, ST, 2001)
"In a randomized controlled trial conducted at a single Dublin hospital between April 2002 and March 2004, we assessed the effect of folic acid supplementation on tissue folate, uracil misincorporation into DNA, and global DNA hypomethylation in colonocytes isolated from sites of adenomatous polyps and from histologically normal tissue adjacent and 10-15 cm distal to them."5.22Folic Acid Supplementation in Postpolypectomy Patients in a Randomized Controlled Trial Increases Tissue Folate Concentrations and Reduces Aberrant DNA Biomarkers in Colonic Tissues Adjacent to the Former Polyp Site. ( Downes, CS; McGlynn, AP; McKerr, G; McNulty, H; Molloy, AM; O'Reilly, SL; Reynolds, J; Scott, JM; Strain, JJ; Ward, M; Wasson, GR; Weir, DG, 2016)
" This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early life stage folic acid deficiency on de novo telomere synthesis, neurobehavioral development, and the cognitive function of offspring rats."4.12Early Life Stage Folic Acid Deficiency Delays the Neurobehavioral Development and Cognitive Function of Rat Offspring by Hindering De Novo Telomere Synthesis. ( Huang, G; Li, W; Li, Z; Sun, Y; Yan, J; Zhou, D, 2022)
" Because the metabolic pathways of folate and other methyl donors are closely coupled, the effects of methionine and choline deficiency alone or in combination with folate deficiency were determined."3.70Increased uracil misincorporation in lymphocytes from folate-deficient rats. ( Duthie, SJ; Grant, G; Narayanan, S, 2000)
" The supply of folate depends primarily on the quantity and bioavailability of ingested folate and the rate of loss by urinary and fecal routes and through catabolism."2.41Prevention of pathologies associated with oxidative stress and dietary intake deficiencies: folate deficiency and requirements. ( Gaté, L; Machover, D; Tapiero, H; Tew, KD, 2001)
"We investigated the hypotheses that the genomic instability observed under conditions of folate deficiency in other cell types extends to skin, adversely effecting cellular capacity to handle UVR insult and that optimizing folate levels in skin is beneficial in preventing or repairing the pro-carcinogenic effects of UVR exposure."1.36Photobiological implications of folate depletion and repletion in cultured human keratinocytes. ( Jacobson, MK; Williams, JD, 2010)
"DNA uracil content was not different between the two groups at any of the folic acid concentrations (two-way ANOVA: media [folic acid], P < 0."1.31Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphism does not alter folic acid deficiency-induced uracil incorporation into primary human lymphocyte DNA in vitro. ( Ames, BN; Crott, JW; Fenech, MF; Mashiyama, ST, 2001)
"Uracil was excised from DNA using uracil DNA glycosylase."1.31Uracil in human DNA from subjects with normal and impaired folate status as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. ( Refsum, H; Ren, J; Ueland, PM; Ulvik, A, 2002)
