Dietary folate exists mainly as polyglutamyl forms that require deconjugation by Zn-dependent pteroylpolyglutamate hydrolase prior to intestinal absorption. Because deconjugation by pteroylpolyglutamate hydrolase is an essential step in the absorption of dietary polyglutamyl folates, factors influencing the deconjugation process may affect folate bioavailability. This study was conducted to evaluate in vivo the bioavailability of [2H4]folic acid (d4-PteGlu1) and [2H2]-pteroylhexaglutamate (d2… CONTINUE READING
