Description
This book deals with the biochemical and physiological characteristics of folic acid and examines how this important nutrient is absorbed and metabolized under different biological conditions. It comprehensively covers recent advances in the metabolic processing of folic acid, as well as the latest analytical and clinical methods for assessing the bioavailability of food folates and evaluating folic nutrition levels in individuals and population groups.
