Folic Acid Metabolism in Health and Disease
Abstract: This publication provides a background on the biochemistry and physiology of folic acid and discusses recent developments in analytical methodology and the clinical aspects of folic acid nutrition. Topics include: an historical account of the advances in the biochemistry and function of folic acid; the regulation of folic acid metabolism and the use of antagonists to study folate metabolism and transport by cells; the intestinal absorption of dietary folates; microbiological growth techniques; ani mal bioassays for measuring bioavailability of food folates; clinical aspects of dietary, physiological, and deficiency concerns; and the evaluation of folate nutritional status in infants, adolescents, adults, and other population groups.
Folic Acid and Folates
First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. In the early days of the serial, the subjects of vitamins and hormones were quite distinct. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology, and enzyme mechanisms. *Includes color illustrations *Available on ScienceDirect *Longest running series published by Academic Press *Contributions by leading international authorities
Folate and disease prevention
This review updates the report by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA) "Folic acid and the prevention of disease" (Report on health and social subjects no. 50, 2000, ISBN 0113223048). The Committee has weighed the evidence which shows significant benefits of folic acid fortification in reducing the risk of pregnancies affected by a neural tube defect (NTD) against the evidence of potential harm in fortification in relation to delaying diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency and increasing the progression of bowel cancer. It recommends mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid as the most effective way to increase folate intakes of women most at risk of NTD-affected pregnancies, provided voluntary fortification is controlled and advice is given about supplement use. Such a policy is judged to be of net benefit to the UK population as it would lead to a redistribution of folic acid intakes, improving the folate intake of low consumers while reducing the intakes of high consumers.
Folic Acid
Folic Acid is clearly written in language that is easily understood by the average reader. While solidly based on peer-reviewed research, this book is a very readable, basic primer for anyone who wants the benefits of improved health and longevity. It is our humble opinion that even health professionals could benefit greatly from referring to this absolutely up-to-date summation of all relevant published research through November, 2006. Folic acid is the popular synthetic form, the term folate referes to all members of this vitamin family. Folates are best known for theirimportance in avoiding birth defects, but research in the last few years has established that they are absolutely essentia...
Folic Acid and the Prevention of Disease
This COMA report reviews available evidence linking dietary folate and folic acid with human health. It is concerned particularly with the need for adequate intakes of folate at the time of conception to reduce the risk of a pregnancy being affected by neural tube defect (NTD).
Preconception and Folic Acid: Why It's Crucial for a Healthy Pregnancy
Are you planning to start a family? If so, then "Preconception and Folic Acid: Why It's Crucial for a Healthy Pregnancy" is the perfect guide for you. This short read book provides essential information on the importance of folic acid in ensuring a healthy pregnancy. With a comprehensive table of contents, this book covers all aspects of preconception and folic acid, leaving no stone unturned. The first section of the book, "Understanding Preconception," sets the foundation by explaining what preconception is and why it is crucial for a successful pregnancy. It highlights the importance of preparing your body and mind before conceiving. Moving on, the book delves into "The Role of Folic Acid...
Folic Acid in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Internal Medicine
Abstract: Folic acid deficiency has neurological and psychiatric, as well as nutritional, implications. In many parts of the world, folate deficiency probably is the commonest of all vitamin deficiencies. Moreover, there is increasing evidence linking it to a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders including psychiatric states and to nervous system metabolism and function. Basic and clinical studies are presented by research scientists and clinicians working on nervous system aspects of folate metabolism.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is one of 13 essential vitamins that can be obtained from dietary sources or supplements. Despite a relative abundance of folic acid in food, its deficiency is frequent and can arise as a consequence of poor diet, chronic illness, drugs, and malabsorption. Folic acid is essential for the functioning of the nervous system. In this new book, the authors present topical research in the study of the properties, medical uses and health benefits of folic acid including the role of folic acid in psychiatric disorders; the importance of folic acid in fertility, miscarriage and preterm birth; the actions of folic acid in the prevention of neural tube defects; folic acid and prostate cancer; photobiological properties of folic acid and how folic acid and B12 supplementation improves the survival of elderly hemodialysis patients.
Folic Acid
This book reviews and discusses the most relevant epidemiological aspects of OFCs and its prevention. It evaluates the role of folate and other factors in preventing OFC by analysing the health and socio-demographic data collected from a population sample. Individuals that are deficient in folates are suggested to have increase vulnerability to disease, including neurological conditions. Folates are involved in the metabolism of homocysteine which is a sulfur containing non-protein amino acid. This book will also highlight the recent advances made in understanding the effect of dietary folic acid over supplementation on neurological function. Patients with low levels of folic acid and other B vitamins, metabolism disorders, and renal failure have frequently high homocysteine levels that have been especially associated with cardiovascular and bone disease. This book reviews and analyzes the most important results about the effects of folic acid supplementation on clinical targets and it focuses on the effects of folic acid therapy on clinical outcomes of chronic renal failure patients with high homocysteine levels.
