Preparing Folic Acid topical gel
Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by a combination of endogenous and exogenous factors. Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, plays several crucial roles in the body. Folate deficiency has been extensively documented in human plasma. However, folate status within skin has not been widely investigated. Delivery to the skin via the blood circulation of nutrients taken orally is inherently inefficient...
Prenatal autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition influenced by genetic, environmental, and maternal health factors during pregnancy. This study investigates the prenatal risk factors associated with ASD, including maternal stress, metabolic syndrome, exposure to pesticides and anti-epileptic drugs, and nutritional deficiencies, while also exploring evidence-based preventive measures such as a healthy maternal diet, supplementation with essential nutrients (e.g., vitamin D, iron, folic acid), and avoidance of environmental toxins.
Homocysteine : Related Vitamins and Neuropsychiatric Disorders
There is an increasing interest in the connection between the homocysteine metabolism and neuropsychiatric disease with a steeply increasing number of publications. In particular, the association between homocysteine metabolism and cognitive decline/dementia attracts much interest. If simple, non-toxic homocysteine-lowering treatment with vitamins can reduce the incidence of, or delay the onset of dementia, it would have an enormous impact in societies with a rapidly increasing number of elderly at risk for dementia. This book summarises the research within the neuropsychiatric field, but also gives an overview of the underlying biochemistry and of diagnostic aspects.
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is a non-proteinogenic α-amino acid. It is a homologue of the amino acid cysteine, differing by an additional methylene bridge (-CH2-). It is biosynthesized from methionine by the removal of its terminal methyl group. In the body, Homocysteine (HCY) can be recycled into methionine or converted into cysteine with the aid of certain B-vitamins. A high level of Homocysteine in the blood (hyperhomocysteinemia) makes a person more prone to endothelial cell injury, which leads to inflammation in the blood vessels, which in turn may lead to atherogenesis, which can result in ischemic injury. Therefore, hyperhomocysteinemia is a possible risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary artery disease occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque blocks blood flow to the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygenated blood.
