human brain contains about 25% of the body’s total cholesterol. But since it’s made in your liver rather than from your diet we couldn’t technically call it a nootropic. But it’s certainly critical for brain function. And one of the reasons why statins can be so deadly for the ...
Connective tissue health. Vitamin C is required forwoundhealing. The vitamin is accumulated at wound sites where it is rapidly utilized.76This reflects the function of ascorbic acid in the synthesis of collagen proteins,77specifically, in thehydroxylationof specificprolyland lysyl residues of the unfo...
Verywell Health / Brian Kopinski Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in foods such as dark leafy greens, beans, nuts, and peas. Most people get enough folate from food, but some people, including women of childbearing age and pregnant people, those...
Folic acid (or vitamin B9) and its derivatives, collectively known as folates, are chemoprotective micronutrients of great interest belonging to the B vitamin group. They are water-soluble vitamins that function as co-factors in a variety of enzymatic reactions within the cell. Folates are natur...

鈥The impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on cognition and functions of the brain is being investigated. Iron deficiency and deficiencies of B9 (folate) as well as B12 (cobalamin) vitamins are best-known nutritional anemias. They are as... M Donma,O Donma - 《International Journal of Medi...
identify the ones that don’t function properly and therefore could impact health. Known as deep mutational scanning, the approach entails substituting each of the enzyme’s 656 amino-acid residues with another of the 20 naturally occurring amino-acids, and testing how well the altered ...
The gene expression profile of human fibroblast cells grown in folate-deficient medium suggests an alternative mechanism by which reduced folate is impacting cell function and genes linked to critical signaling pathways, including Wnt and Ras (GSE3548). However, we are interested in the gene ...
Folate, a water-soluble B-vitamin also known as vitamin B9, is a key source of the one-carbon group used in methylation reactions and DNA/RNA synthesis. Low folate status has been associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects, cancer, and coronary heart disease9, but the data ...
