folate deficiency/levels
Folate intake and risk of breast cancer characterized by hormone receptor status.
Herbert (1962) had his food finely chopped and boiled three times to remove all folate.
Further to this, intracellular and extracellular folate levels have been measured in neurulation-stage embryos to specifically examine how the maternal folate-deficient diet affects embryonic folate metabolism.
Does dietary folate intake modify effect of alcohol consumption on breast cancer risk?
Abstracts of papers likely to have a role in folate catabolism.
Excessive alcohol intake is associated with reduced serum folate levels.
The measures may be used in combination and would probably be more effective if folate supplementation could also be included.
Here, we describe 3 further genes in the folate pathway.
