High-dose folic acid supplementation results in significant accumulation of unmetabolized homocysteine, leading to severe oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans
Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal, we evaluated the effects of chronical supplementation with high-dose folic acid on physiological events such as life cycle and egg-laying capacity and folate metabolism. Supplementation of high-dose folic acid significantly reduced egg-laying capacity....
