## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Food acidulants, Ξ²βcaroteneβrich vegetables and sulfur compoundβrich __Allium__ spices are known to improve zinc bioaccessibility from food grains. This animal study evaluated the positive influence of these promoters of zinc bioaccessibility on zinc status during zinc r
## Abstract The intestinal folate absorption process occurs via a specialized mechanism that involves the reduced folate carrier (RFC). In humans, multiple variants of the hRFC (driven by multiple promoters) have been identified with variant I being the prominent form expressed in the intestine. Wh
BACKGROUND: Folate supplementation decreases the incidence of birth defects such as neural tube defects (NTDs). We and others have shown that gestational dietary folate deficiency that does not produce overt NTDs can alter fetal neural histology. Accordingly, murine offspring were examined for the p
Nutritional deficiency of zinc is widespread throughout the developing world. Zinc deficient subjects experience increased susceptibility to a variety of infections. Zinc deficiency in an experimental human model caused an imbalance between Th1 and Th2 functions. Production of IFN-β₯ and IL-2 (produc
