Folatos, ácido fólico, homicisteina, enfermedad cardiovascular , enfermedad tumoralResumen
Las funciones que en el organismo humano ejercen los folatos, referentes a la formación de eritrocitos y leucocitos en la médula ósea y a la prevención de daños en el desarrollo del tubo neural del niño durante la gestación, han sido bien estudiadas. En los últimos años, se han venido identificando funciones relacionadas con la salud cardiovascular y el desarrollo de enfermedad tumoral de los individuos. A este respecto, en esta revisión la autora pretende resaltar las funciones que ejercen los folatos en la salud humana, relacionadas con los niveles de homocisteína en suero y con la síntesis y reparación del ADN, lo cual ha sido relacionado respectivamente con el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares y algunos tipos de cáncer en humanos.
