Postischemic supplementation of folic acid improves neuronal survival and regeneration in vitro.
PMID: Nutr Res. 2019 Dec 23 ;75:1-14. Epub 2019 Dec 23. PMID: 31955011 Abstract Title: Postischemic supplementation of folic acid improves neuronal survival and regeneration in vitro. Abstract: Supplementation of folic acid (FA) is beneficial to several neurological diseases because it promotes notch signaling and neurogenesis and reduces blood homocysteine levels. We hypothesized that postischemic …
