Folate nutrition is related to neuropsychological functions in the elderly
We investigated the nutritional state of B vitamins and the neuropsychological functions in 25 subjects, aged 63.1 +/- 6.3 years, residing in rural areas of Korea. Nutritional states of thiamin, riboflavin, and pyridoxine were assessed enzymatically in the erythrocytes, and folate concentrations were measured microbiologically in the plasma and erythrocytes. A battery of composite neuropsycholo...
متن کاملFolate catabolite excretion is responsive to changes in dietary folate intake in elderly women.
BACKGROUND The major route of folate turnover is by catabolic cleavage of the C9-N10 bond producing p-aminobenzoylglutamate (pABG) and its primary excretory form, p-acetamidobenzoylglutamate (ApABG). We hypothesize that total pABG (ApABG + pABG) excretion parallels both the mass of body folate pools from which these catabolites originate and the folate-status indicators. OBJECTIVE The objecti...

I. A study was made on the folate content of goat’s milk in relation to stage of lactation, and on the interrelationship between blood and milk folate concentrations in the dam and in the kid. 2. In seven goats the folate concentration in the colostrum at parturition ranged from 136 to 300 ng/ml, and averaged 205 ng/ml.

متن کاملFolate status in the elderly.
It is only within recent years that a satisfactory method for estimating the serum folate level has been available, and since this test was introduced a number of investigators have reported the occurrence of nutritional megaloblastic anaemia due to folic acid deficiency in the United Kingdom, particularly in elderly persons (Gough, Read, McCarthy, and Waters, 1963 ; Varadi and Elwis, 1964; For...
