Abstract:
The effects of exogenous ethanol and/or folic acid on endogenous homocysteine (HoCys) and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine)/SAH (S-adenosylhomocysteine) levels in chick brains were studied at 11 days of development. Embryonic EtOH (3.0 mmol/kg egg) exposure caused a 1.6-fold increase in brain HoCys levels and a 9-fold decrease in brain SAM/SAH levels as compared to controls (p
