Abstract excerpt
Dietary inadequacy of folate enhances and folate supplementation suppresses colorectal carcinogenesis in the dimethylhydrazine rat model. Folate is an essential factor for DNA methylation and the de novo biosynthesis of nucleotides, aberrations of which play important roles in mutagenesis. This study investigated whether the mutational hot spots of the Apc and p53 genes for human colorectal cancer are mutated in...
