Folate is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides and amino acid metabolism such as
methylation of homocysteine to methionine. Methionine is activated by adenosine …

Background: Several epidemiologic studies suggest that higher folate intakes are
associated with lower breast cancer risk, particularly in women with moderate alcohol …

Background: B vitamins such as folate, vitamin B-6, and vitamin B-12 are coenzymes that
are important for DNA integrity and stability. Deficiency in these B vitamins may promote …

Folate plays an important role in DNA methylation, and aberrant methylation of the estrogen
receptor (ER) gene may be related to the loss of ER gene expression in breast tumors. Thus …

Background: Inadequate folate intake could be associated with increased breast cancer risk.
The aim of the present study was to assess the folate intake by designed Food Frequency …

Background: Few epidemiologic studies have examined very high intakes of folate and
whether consumption of nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism is associated with …

African American (AA) women are more likely than European American (EA) women to be
diagnosed with breast cancer at younger ages and to develop poor prognosis tumors …

Background: Evidence from case–control studies suggests that increasing dietary folate
intake is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. However, large cohort studies have …

Folate is a water-soluble B-vitamin and is an important cofactor in one-carbon metabolism.
This vitamin plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases. In …

Background: Several recent studies suggest that adequate dietary folate may attenuate the
risk of breast cancer associated with intake of alcohol. We examined whether the putative …
