Moderate Folic Acid Supplementation in Pregnant Mice Results in Altered Sex-Specific Gene Expression in Brain of Young Mice and Embryos

Yan Luan et al.

Summary: Food fortification and increased vitamin intake have led to higher folic acid consumption in pregnant women. This study found that a diet supplemented with five times the recommended level of folic acid in pregnant mice resulted in hyperactivity-like behavior and memory impairment in their offspring. Disturbed choline/methyl metabolism and altered placental gene expression were observed. Furthermore, the study also showed sex-specific transcription changes in the brain at two developmental stages, as well as changes in genes involved in neurotransmission, neuronal growth and development, and angiogenesis. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying neurobehavioral alterations caused by excessive folate supplementation during pregnancy.

Absorption and Tissue Distribution of Folate Forms in Rats: Indications for Specific Folate Form Supplementation during Pregnancy

Natasha Bobrowski-Khoury et al.

Summary: This study explored the absorption and tissue distribution of different forms of folate in adult rats. It found that Leucovorin and levofolinate were better absorbed and distributed in the presence of folate receptor alpha autoantibody (FR alpha Ab). Levofolinate, in particular, was found to be fully active and generated higher tetrahydrofolate (THF), making it the preferable folate form during pregnancy and other conditions requiring high folate doses.

Deficient or Excess Folic Acid Supply During Pregnancy Alter Cortical Neurodevelopment in Mouse Offspring

Angelo Harlan De Crescenzo et al.

Summary: Folate is crucial during pregnancy, with both deficiency and excess potentially leading to neurodevelopmental abnormalities in offspring and behavioral changes; research suggests that such interventions alter the folate cycle, delaying prenatal cerebral cortical neurogenesis.
