Description

We attempted to clarify the reason why folate fortification ameliorates hyperhomocysteinemia induced by vitamin B6 deficiency. Hyperhomocysteinemia caused by vitamin B6 deficiency significantly decreased the rat liver 5-methyltetrahydrofolate level which was significantly improved by folate fortification. This result suggests that the amelioration of hyperhomocysteinemia in response to folate supplementation had enhanced the removal of homocysteine via methionine synthase.
