Results from experimental animals and other laboratory data have suggested a role for methionine, an essential amino acid, in normal closure of the neural tube. We hypothesized that women who had higher dietary intakes of methionine would be at lower risk for neural tube defect (NTD)-affected pregna
## Abstract **BACKGROUND**: The SELH/Bc mouse strain has a high risk of the NTD, exencephaly, caused by multifactorial genetics. All SELH/Bc embryos have delayed elevation of neural folds; some never elevate (future exencephalics). Maternal diets affect SELH/Bc exencephaly rates: 25–35% on Purina D
