Effect of folate deficiency on promoter methylation and gene expression of Esr1, Cdh1 and Pgr, and its influence on endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation
15 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Folate, one of the B vitamins, provides the one-carbon units required for methylation. Folate deficiency has been associated with many pathologies. However, much less is known about the effect of it on human reproduction, especially on implantation. The establishment of uterine receptivity is crucial for successful embryo implantation. Gene expression can be influenced by both heredity and epigenetics...
