چکیده
Vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of body, and Folic Acid, also known as Vitamin B9, has many benefits body. Acid contributes to normal development fetus, preventing risk fetal birth defects, mainly represented by neural tube defects orofacial clefts.

نقص لوله عصبی یکی از ناهنجاریهای مادرزادی مهم و شایع می باشد که شیوع آن بیش از ۵/ ۴ در ۱۰۰۰ تولد زنده است. اتیولوژی و پاتوژنز بیماری هنوز ناشناخته است. مطالعات اخیر بر روی حیوانات نشان می دهد که این ناهنجاری ممکن است، ناشی از متابولیسم غیر طبیعی هموسیستئین باشد. در مطالعات اخیر مشخص شده است که پیشگیری از نقص لوله عصبی (NTD) بوسیله اسیدفولیک مؤثر می باشد.
متن کاملFolic acid metabolism in human subjects revisited: potential implications for proposed mandatory folic acid fortification in the UK.
Following an introduction of the importance of folates and the rationale for seeking to estimate fractional folate absorption from foods (especially for countries not having a mandatory folic acid fortification policy), scientific papers covering the mechanisms of folate absorption and initial biotransformation are discussed. There appears (post-1983) to be a consensus that physiological doses ...
متن کاملPersistent circulating unmetabolised folic acid in a setting of liberal voluntary folic acid fortification. Implications for further mandatory fortification?
BACKGROUND Ireland is an example of a country that has extensive voluntary fortification with folic acid. After a public consultation process, in 2006, the Food Safety Authority in Ireland FSAI 1 recommended mandatory fortification. However due to safety considerations this decision is now on hold. Before mandatory fortification goes ahead, existing levels of unmetabolised folic acid and their ...
متن کاملThe extremely slow and variable activity of dihydrofolate reductase in human liver and its implications for high folic acid intake.
Numerous clinical trials using folic acid for prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and neural tube defects have been completed or are underway. Yet, all functions of folate are performed by tetrahydrofolate and its one-carbon derivatives. Folic acid is a synthetic oxidized form not significantly found in fresh natural foods; to be used it must be converted to tetrahy...
