Should vitamin B12 status be considered in assessing risk of neural tube defects?

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Feb 2018

Molloy Anne M

Abstract excerpt

There is a strong biological premise for including vitamin B12 with folic acid in strategies to prevent neural tube defects (NTDs), due to the closely interlinked metabolism of these two vitamins. For example, reduction of B12 deficiency among women of reproductive age could enhance the capacity of folic acid to prevent NTDs by optimizing the cellular uptake and utilization of natural folate cofactors. Vitamin...
