Methylating micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy influences foetal hepatic gene expression and IGF signalling and increases foetal weight
2016
Purpose
Maternal diet during pregnancy impacts foetal growth and development. In particular, dietary levels of methylating micronutrients (methionine, folate, choline, vitamins B6, and B12) interfere with the availability and allocation of methyl groups for methylation reactions, thereby influencing normal transcription. However, the currently recommended methylating micronutrient supplementation regimen is haphazard and arbitrary at best.
