Folate and Human Development examines the current status of knowledge on folate in human development and disease. A broad spectrum of topics is covered in the book such as: nutrient deficiencies and susceptibility of developmental toxicity; folate metabolism in zinc or copper deficiency; choline and folate in development; genes and neural tube development; folate, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase receptor polymorphisms and risk for neural tube defects; developmental toxicants...
More DescriptionFolate and Human Development examines the current status of knowledge on folate in human development and disease. A broad spectrum of topics is covered in the book such as: nutrient deficiencies and susceptibility of developmental toxicity; folate metabolism in zinc or copper deficiency; choline and folate in development; genes and neural tube development; folate, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase receptor polymorphisms and risk for neural tube defects; developmental toxicants potentially acting via folate perturbation; abnormal DNA synthesis and methylation with folate/methyl insufficiency; animal models of folate-related birth defects and other related topics. The data reported were collected employing state-of-the-art research methods and derived from the work investigators at the forefront of the field, thus making this an essential reference for all those in the field including pediatricians, developmental biologists, and nutrition researchers.
