Folate in health and disease

Keeping up with the explosion in information garnered from fresh research, this title provides a resource on various areas of clinical interest related to folate metabolism such as: the role of folate in birth defects, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neural tube defects. It includes estimates of...
