Insect-protected corn hybrids containing event MON 863 protect corn plants against feeding damage from corn rootworm (Diabrotica), a major North American insect pest. Corn event MON 863 contains a gene that expresses an amino acid sequence variant of the wild-type Cry3Bb1 insecticidal protein from

Folic acid supplementation reduces multigenerational sperm miRNA perturbation induced by in utero environmental contaminant exposure.

Only registered users can translate articles

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) can induce epigenetic changes in the paternal germline. Here, we report that folic acid (FA) supplementation mitigates sperm miRNA profiles transgenerationally following in utero paternal exposure to POPs in a rat model. Pregnant founder dams were exposed

Effect of maternal folic acid supplementation on prostatitis risk in the rat offspring.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Folic acid (FA) intake has increased to high levels in many countries for the prevention of neural tube defects. However, the impact of excess FA intake, particularly before and during pregnancy, requires further investigation. Our aim was to investigate the effect of maternal folic acid

Bone-specific gene expression patterns and whole bone tissue of female mice are programmed by early life exposure to soy isoflavones and folic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Female mice exposed to soy isoflavones (ISO) during early postnatal life have improved bone outcomes at adulthood. Since long-lasting effects may be mediated by DNA methylation, we hypothesized that providing supplemental folic acid (FA), a methyl donor, during early life, would enhance the positive

Adequate but not supplemental folic acid combined with soy isoflavones during early life improves bone health at adulthood in male mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous investigations from our laboratory have demonstrated that neonatal exposure to soy isoflavones (ISO) improves bone outcomes in CD-1 mice at adulthood with greater benefits in females than males. This study determined whether early-life exposure to supplemental folic acid (FA) - that may

Comparative Study of Folic Acid and α-Naphthoflavone on Reducing TCDD-Induced Cleft Palate in Fetal Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tocompare the effect of folic acid (FA) and α-naphthoflavone on 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced cleft palate in fetal mice. Pregnant mice were randomly divided into seven groups. The mice treated with corn oil were used as a negative control. The mice in the other six groups were

Maternal folic acid supplementation does not counteract the deleterious impact of prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants on lipid homeostasis in male rat descendants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been associated with the development of metabolic syndrome-related diseases in offspring. According to epidemiological studies, father's transmission of environmental effects in addition to mother's can influence offspring health.

Prenatal Exposure to Environmentally-Relevant Contaminants Perturbs Male Reproductive Parameters Across Multiple Generations that are Partially Protected by Folic Acid Supplementation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The paternal environment is thought to influence sperm quality and future progeny may also be impacted. We hypothesized that prenatal exposure to environmentally-relevant contaminants impairs male reproduction, altering embryo gene expression over multiple generations. Folic acid (FA) can improve

Dose-Dependent Antiteratogenic Effects of Folic Acid on All-Trans Retinoic Acid-Induced Cleft Palate in Fetal Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although numerous studies have confirmed that consumption of folic acid (FA) during early pregnancy reduces the risk of oral facial clefts in newborn infants, the optimal dose of FA for reducing this risk remains unknown. We evaluated various doses of FA for their ability to reduce the incidence of

[The antagonistic effect of folic acid and resveratrol on cleft palate in mice induced by TCDD].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether or not administration of folic acid and resveratrol have preventive effects on cleft palate formation as well as the comparison of the two drugs' s effects. METHODS Pregnant mice were randomly divided into 9 groups, with 8 mice in each group. The TCDD group mice were

Perspectives on obesity and sweeteners, folic acid fortification and vitamin D requirements.

Only registered users can translate articles

This review summarizes three controversial areas of clinical practice that were discussed in many articles that appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition during the author's tenure as editor in chief. Controversy 1-obesity and high-fructose corn syrup. The increased frequency of obesity

Effects of folic acid on testicular toxicity induced by bisphenol-A in male Wistar rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the protective effect of the folic acid (FA) against bisphenol-A (BPA) induced toxicity in rat testis. We used four groups of seven adult male Wistar albino rats. The control group was fed corn oil, the BPA group was given BPA, the FA group was given FA and the FA + BPA group was

A comparison of the response of woodchucks and rats to variations in dietary lipotrope and lipid content.

Only registered users can translate articles

A soy protein-based experimental diet for woodchucks (Marmota monax) is described. The diet supported growth of juvenile woodchucks for 12 wk. With this diet, the effects on both woodchucks and rats of increasing dietary corn oil from 5 to 15% and of deleting supplemental lipotropic factors

Experimental diets for the study of lipid influence on the induced mammary carcinoma in rats: I--Diet definition.

Only registered users can translate articles

There is a considerable variation in the diets used in studies on the influence of dietary fat on rat mammary cancer. In view of the fact that diet is the most remarkable factor in these studies, the aim of this work was to define two experimental diets, one of them normal (N3) and another

Improvement in jejunal enzyme adaptation in obese adult-onset diabetic patients following a 30-day fast.

Only registered users can translate articles

The adaptive responses of gastrointestinal enzymes, glucose tolerance, and plasma insulin to diet, folic acid, and insulin of five obese adult-onset diabetic patients were studied before and after a 30-day fast. Their data were compared to the adaptive responses of gastrointestinal enzymes to diet,
