Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Homozygosity for the variant 677T allele in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene increases the requirement for folate and may alter the metabolic use of choline. The choline adequate intake is 550 mg/d for men, although the metabolic consequences of consuming extra choline are unclear. OBJECTIVE: Deuterium-labeled choline (d9-choline) as tracer was used to determine the differential...
