Folate requirement in pregnancy.
economic strata and are often residents of rural areas. Diet lacks high-class proteins and consists mostly of cereals and a small quantity of pulses. Very low levels of total serum proteins and albumin are noted in hospitalized patients. The presumptive evidence of protein malnutrition and deprivation is strong, unlike the cryptogenic types in Britain. Less than a quarter of patients give a his...
متن کاملAutoantibodies against folate receptors in women with a pregnancy complicated by a neural-tube defect.
BACKGROUND In the absence of clinical folate deficiency, periconceptional supplementation with folic acid reduces a woman's risk of having an infant with a neural-tube defect. Since antiserum to folate receptors induces embryo resorption and malformations in rats, we hypothesized that autoantibodies against folate receptors in women may be associated with pregnancy complicated by a neural-tube ...
متن کاملHomocysteine and folate in pregnancy.
The importance of folate during pregnancy was addressed 40 years ago by Bryan Hibbard (1 ) in his study of folate status in 1484 low-income obstetric patients from Liverpool. He assessed folate status as urinary excretion of formiminoglutamic acid. Abnormal formiminoglutamic acid excretion was related not only to placental abruption and spontaneous abortion but also to adverse outcomes in previ...
متن کاملComplicated Choledochal Cysts in Pregnancy
Choledochal cyst is congenital dilatation of the biliary tract, present primarily in infants. This condition in pregnancy is very rare, and the clinical manifestations are nonspecific and variable. In late pregnancy, the symptoms may exacerbate due to hormonal effects and the compression of the common bile duct by the enlarging uterus. The need for urgent therapy of the complications associated...
متن کاملOptimization of folate-conjugated liposomal vectors for folate receptor-mediated gene therapy.
A folate-targeted transfection complex that is internalized by certain cancer cells and displays several properties reminiscent of enveloped viruses has been developed. These liposomal vectors are comprised of a polycation-condensed DNA plasmid associated with a mixture of neutral and anionic lipids supplemented with folate-poly(ethylene glycol)-dioleylphosphatidylethanolamine for tumor cell-sp...
