Significats de maternal folate en anglès

The maternal folate status was positively correlated with their offspring's.

These findings may inform how maternal folate impacts the developing epigenome and health outcomes in offspring.

Larger studies of this issue are required, together with studies of maternal genotype which could identify whether maternal folate status during pregnancy is important.

The importance of maternal folate consumption for normal development is well established, yet the molecular mechanism linking folate metabolism to development remains poorly understood.

Furthermore, we compared the histone modification patterns between normal brains and NTD brains special of which maternal folate levels were lower than of normal control.

Maternal folate intake was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire validated against plasma folate.
