Infertility in 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR)-Deficient Male Mice Is Partially Alleviated by Lifetime Dietary Betaine Supplementation1

18 Nov 2004

Abstract excerpt

Metabolism of folate is essential for proper cellular function. Within the folate pathway, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) reduces 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a methyl donor for remethylation of homocysteine to methionine, the precursor of S-adenosylmethionine. S-adenosylmethionine is the methyl donor for numerous cellular reactions. In adult male mice, MTHFR levels are...
