Folic Acid Supplementation Reduces the Mutagenicity and Genotoxicity Caused by Benzo(a)pyrene
2016
Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology
Folate is a vital vitamin for the human being and its defi ciency can lead to a variety of clinical abnormalities ranging from neural tube defects to cancers. Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a strong mutagen and carcinogen, is considered one of the common contaminants in food. The aim of this study was to investigate the positive effect of folate on cancer prevention at a fundamental level. In the present study, we investigated the impact of folic acid on BaP-induced mutagenicity and genotoxicity by
