BACKGROUND: Micronucleus (MN) is a validated biomarker for DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and is a reflection of the changes of human nutritional status. Folate (FA) and vitamin B(12) are one-carbon metabolism-related micronutrients, which play important roles in maintaining genomic stability. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correcting effects of FA and B(12) intervention on DNA damage in PBL....
