Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is a orally active essential nutrient from the B complex group of vitamins. Folic acid shows antidepressant-like effect. Folic acid sodium reduces the risk of neonatal neural tube defects. Folic acid can be used to the research of megaloblastic and macrocytic anemias due to folic deficiency.
Folic acid plays a critical role in the prevention of chromosome breakage and hypomethylation of DNA[1].
Folic acid can be used to induce acute kidney injury models. In rats, oral administration results in an AUC of 1.4 μg h/mL, with an oral bioavailability of 35%[5]. .f12{ font-size: 12px

} Induction of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)[6] Background Folic acid metabolism requires higher levels of NADPH to reduce folate to THF decreasing the antioxidant defense. The redox imbalance generated by folic acid metabolism is one of the main mechanisms involved in renal damage. Specific Mmodeling Methods Rat: Wistar • maleAdministration: 300mg/ml • i.p. • single dose Note (1) Intraperitoneal injection 300 mg/kg folic acid (dissolved in 300 mM NaHCO?) in male Wistar rats with an initial body weight between 230 to 250 g.(2) Plasma was collected and analyzed at days 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28 after folic acid administration. Modeling Indicators Metabolic changes : Assessment of renal injury by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and plasma creatinine. Individual phenotypic change: The ratio of kidney weight to total rat weight was detected. Correlated Product(s): Acetylcysteine (HY-B0215) Opposite Product(s): /
