Genes, folate and homocysteine in embryonic development

2001-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Population-based studies of human pregnancies show that periconceptional folate supplementation has a significant protective effect for embryos during early development, resulting in a significant reduction in developmental defects of the face, the neural tube, and the cono-truncal region of the heart. These results have been supported by experiments with animal models. An obvious quality held in common by these t...
