9 Functions of Folate The functions of folate in human physiology are relatively simple, but the implications of their activity (and dysfunction) can be profound and far reaching. Functions: synthesis of nucleic acids (for DNA production/repair and trna) single carbon metabolism (methylation) interconversion of amino acids (for neurotransmitter production and detoxification) formation and maturation of RBC, WBC and platelet production (c) 2013: Benjamin Lynch, ND Source: Herb, Nutrient and Drug Interactions by Stargrove et al 9
10 Does Folic Acid = Folate? Folic acid does NOT equal Folate. Folic Acid is only ONE type of Folate. Folic acid is not found in nature. Folate is. Folic acid must undergo numerous biochemical transformations prior to utilization. Must be specific when discussing folate. Use the appropriate term and form. Folic acid (unmetabolized folic acid) Folinic acid (5-FormylTHF) Methylfolate (5-MTHF) (c) 2013: Benjamin Lynch, ND 10

14 MTHFR: Why now? (c) 2014: Benjamin Lynch, ND 14
15 Folic Acid MTHFR increasing in the population. Folic acid fortification, artificial insemination, steroids, hormones Full-Term Pregnancies Folate SNPs Methylation SNPs Inferior SNPs Metabolic Issues. Susceptibility to Environmental Exposures UnNatural DeSelection: Survival of the Unfittest (c) 2014: Benjamin Lynch, ND 15
16 Has enhanced folate status during pregnancy altered natural selection and possibly Autism prevalence? A closer look at a possible link. It is hypothesized here that the enhancement of maternal folate status before and during pregnancy in the last 15 years has altered natural selection by increasing survival rates during pregnancy of infants possessing the MTHFR C677T polymorphism, via reduction in hyperhomocysteinemia associated with this genotype and thereby miscarriage rates. This also points directly to an increased rate of births of infants with higher postnatal requirements for folic acid needed for normal methylation during this critical neurodevelopmental period. If these numbers have increased then so have the absolute number of infants that after birth fail to maintain the higher folate status experienced in utero thus leading to an increased number of cases of developmental disorders such as Autism. Detection of the C677T polymorphism as well as other methionine cycle enzymes related to folate metabolism and methylation at birth as part of newborn screening programs could determine which newborns need be monitored and maintained on diets or supplements that ensure adequate folate status during this critical postnatal neurodevelopment period. (c) 2014: Benjamin Lynch, ND 16
17 Is folic acid good for everyone? In Spain, the prevalence of the MTHFR 677TT genotype has reportedly approximately doubled in the population since the introduction in 1982 of folic acid supplements for women in early pregnancy Folic acid fortification and supplement use might be a genetic time bomb. The first premise of this dramatic claim, that folic acid use increases the proportion of children born with the T allele of MTHFR, is as yet poorly documented and is clearly in urgent need of further study. Studies of the MTHFR genotype frequencies in children before and after fortification should be carried out in countries planning fortification of food with folic acid. Thus, saving fetuses that have a genetic constitution that favors abortion or nonsurvival could lead to children being born with genotypes that favor increased disease during life " (c) 2014: Benjamin Lynch, ND 17

19 Epigenetics As an organism grows and develops, carefully orchestrated chemical reactions activate and deactivate parts of the genome at strategic times and in specific locations. Epigenetics is the study of these chemical reactions and the factors that influence them. Epigenetic changes are environmentally responsive mechanisms that can modify gene expression independently of the genetic code.

21 Methylation (c) 2014: Benjamin Lynch, ND 21
22 Functions of Methylation Several Functions of Methylation: 1. Turn on and off genes (gene regulation) 2. Process chemicals, endogenous and xenobiotic compounds (biotransformation histamine, arsenic) 3. Build neurotransmitters (norepinephrine epinephrine, serotonin melatonin) 4. Metabolize neurotransmitters (dopamine, epinephrine) 5. Process hormones (estrogen) 6. Build immune cells (T cells, NK cells) 7. DNA and Histone Synthesis (Thymine aka 5-methyluracil) 8. Produce energy (CoQ10, carnitine, creatine, ATP) 9. Produce protective coating on nerves (myelination) 10.Build and maintain cell membranes (phosphatidylcholine) (c) 2013: Benjamin Lynch, ND 22
23 23
24 How is Methylation Disturbed? Methylation is often disturbed by various mechanisms 1. Lack of cofactors supporting methylation (Zinc, B2, Mg, Choline, B6, B12) 2. Lack of substrate driving methylation forward (Methionine, Hcy) 3. Medications (antacids, methotrexate, metformin, nitrous oxide) 4. Specific nutrients depleting methyl groups (high dose Niacin) 5. Environmental toxicity, heavy metals, chemicals (acetylaldehyde, mercury) 6. Excessive end product (feedback inhibition DMG, SAM, SAH, Hcy) 7. Genetic mutations/polymorphisms (MTHFR, GSTM1, PEMT, MAT, GAMT, SOD) 8. Mental state (stress, anxiety, lack of sleep) 9. Receptor site blocking (folic acid, antibodies) 10.Carrier protein deficiency (transcobalamin, folate binding proteins) 11.Inflammation (TNF-alpha) 12.Hormones (estrogen, cortisol) (c) 2013: Benjamin Lynch, ND 24
