Official title

Effect of Obesity and Folic Acid Supplementation on Gene-specific DNA Methylation in Women of Reproductive Age

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The objective of this study is to identify genes whose expression is potentially modifiable due to changes in folate intake and help delineate mechanisms accounting for the variability in individual response to folic acid supplementation. The study will be conducted in normal weight and obese women of childbearing age, supplemented for 8 weeks with 800 mcg/day folic acid. It is hypothesized that (1) a change in folate status, induced by the supplementation, will influence the DNA methylation of specific genes and (2) the DNA methylation response to folic acid supplementation may differ between the normal weight and the obese women of childbearing age.
