Abstract excerpt
In most mammalian species, arsenic biotransformation occurs primarily by biomethylation and reduction reactions, with dimethylarsinic acid being the predominant metabolite excreted in the urine. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (Mthfr) plays a key role in folate metabolism by channeling one-carbon units between nucleotide synthesis and methylation reactions. In the study on transgenic Mtfhr knockout mice we...
