ABSTRACT
Fortification of corn with folic acid has beneficial effects on hyperhomocysteinemia and heart disease. Folate fortification was contributed to an increase in average folate status and a reduction in serum homocysteine concentration. In this randomized clinical trial 17 men and women aged 61 +/- 5 years old with hyperhomocysteinemia with mean homocysteine concentration of 15/32 +/- 6/13 micro mol/L were recruited. Subjects received fortified bread which contained 100 micro g folic acid daily for 8 weeks. Three-day food record, food frequency questionnaire and BMI [Body Mass Index] data at baseline and week 8 were completed. Plasma homocysteine and serum folate at baseline and week 8 were measured. All dietary and statistical analyses were undertaken using Nutritionist III and SPSS release 15.0 software with paired t-test. Mean plasma homocysteine concentration decreased significantly in hyperhomocysteinemic subjects after daily consumption of folate fortified bread for 8 weeks [P<0.001].After 8 weeks serum folate concentration increased%26 [P=0.06]. Mean BMI, energy and other components of dietary intake did not change significantly. Dietary vitamin C decreased significantly [P<0.001]. Daily consumption of folic acid fortified bread, with 100 micro g folic acid, in hyperhomocysteinemic subjects for 8 weeks led to significant decrease in plasma homocysteine and an increase in serum folate
