 Use of sodium folate


Folic acid (Vitamin B9) sodium is a orally active essential nutrient from the B complex group of vitamins. Folic acid sodium shows antidepressant-like effect. Folic acid sodium reduces the risk of neonatal neural tube defects. Folic acid sodium can be used to the treatment of megaloblastic and macrocytic anemias due to folic deficiency[1][2][3][4].

Microbial Metabolite

In Vitro Folic acid sodium plays a critical role in the prevention of chromosome breakage and hypomethylation of DNA[1].
In Vivo Folic acid sodium (10, 50, 100 mg/kg; p.o.) shows an antidepressant-like effect in thisbehavioral mouse model[2]. Folic acid sodium (1, 10 nmol/site) shows no psychostimulant effect in mice habituated to the novel environment[2]. Folic acid sodium (1, 5 mg/kg; p.o.) prevents epigenetic modification of hepatic gene expression in the offspring in rats[3]. Animal Model: 30-40 g swiss mice[2] Dosage: 10, 50, 100 mg/kg Administration: P.o. Result: Decreased the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) (F324=11.21) and produced a significant effect in the immobility time in the tail suspension test (TST) (F3,20=5.71). Animal Model: 30-40 g swiss mice[2] Dosage: 1-10 nmol/site Administration: I.c.v. Result: Decreased the immobility time of mice in the FST (F3,22=12.31) and TST (F3,22=5.50). Animal Model: Virgin female Wistar rats[3] Dosage: 1, 5 mg/kg (180 g/kg protein with 1 mg/kg folic acid or 90 g/kg casein with 1, 5 mg/kg folic acid) Administration: P.o. Result: Prevented epigenetic modification of hepatic gene expression in the offspring.
