Research suggests that folic acid contributes to improving cognitive function. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the association of dietary intake of folate and serum, and red blood cell (RBC) folate levels with global cognitive impairment (CoI) in the elderly population. Importantly, excessive supplementation with folate among American adults at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) may have harmful effects.

Iron Deficiency Anemia Following Bariatric Surgery: A 10-Year Prospective Observational Study.

Nutrients

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine and Geriatric Cardiology, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Orlowski Hospital, 00-416 Warsaw, Poland.

Methods: We included 138 consecutive patients who underwent bariatric surgery (120 underwent sleeve gastrectomy and 18 underwent other types of bariatric surgery) between 2010 and 2016.

Pharmacogenetic Testing in Treatment-resistant Panic Disorder: a Preliminary Analysis.

Clin Pract Epidemiol Ment Health

December 2024

Laboratory of Panic and Respiration, Instituto de Psiquiatria, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

Background: Many pharmacological treatments are considered effective in the treatment of panic disorder (PD), however, about 20 to 40% of the patients have treatment-resistant PD. Pharmacogenetics could explain why some patients are treatment-resistant.

Objective: Our objective was to gather preliminary data on the clinical usefulness of pharmacogenetic testing in this disorder.

Background: One-carbon metabolism links folate and methionine metabolism and this is essential for nucleotide synthesis in the cells. Alterations in one-carbon metabolism are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether SNPs in antioxidant-enzyme genes impact the concentrations of folate in serum (s-folate), plasma total homocysteine (p-tHcy) and total glutathione in plasma (p-tGSH) in healthy subjects after supplementation with folic acid.

Betulinic acid (BA) has been shown to exhibit various pharmacological activities and it has shown the protective effect on acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF); however, no reports are available on its effect on ARF-CRF transition. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of BA on ARF-CRF transition. A single dose of 250 mg/kg body weight (BW) intraperitoneal injection of folic acid was given in mice for inducing ARF-CRF transition (injury group; I) on day 1.
