Folic Acid Supplementation in Women of Child Bearing Age (FASUPP)

1 juli 2016 uppdaterad av: Lynn B. Bailey, PhD, University of Georgia

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

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.

Detaljerad beskrivning

This study will be conducted in two phases. An initial screening study will be performed to determine folate status, MTHFR677 genotype and body composition of potential participants of the intervention study. Both folate status and MTHFR677 genotype are known independent predictors of response to folic acid supplementation. Blood samples will be collected, after an overnight fast, for determination of serum folate concentration and for MTHFR677 genotyping. Body composition and 24-hr dietary recalls will also be conducted during the screening visit.

The second phase is an eight week supplementation trial with 800 mcg/day folic acid. Screened individuals determined to have a serum folate < 30 nmol/L (< 50th percentile of NHANES 1999-2004) and of the CC or CT genotype (for MTHFR677) will be eligible for inclusion in the supplementation trial. Participants will be instructed to avoid dietary supplements, fortified ready-to-eat cereals, and other high folate content foods during intervention. Blood samples will be collected, after an overnight fast, at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of supplementation for determination of primary (DNA methylation profile) and secondary (nutritional, metabolic and health status biomarkers) outcome measures.

Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Folic Acid Normal Weight
Folic acid, tablet, 800 mcg, daily, eight weeks. Normal Weight individuals, each will serve as her own control.
Kosttillskott: Folic acid
Participants will be instructed to consume 2 tablets per day, a total of 800 micrograms folic acid. To facilitate compliance, participants will be instructed in the use of a compliance calendar and will receive frequent telephone and 'text' reminders from project staff. Additionally, compliance will be determined by return pill count.

Tidsram
Cell-type-specific DNA methylation
Tidsram: Baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks
Change in DNA methylation in response to 4 or 8 weeks supplementation with 800 mcg/day of folic acid will be determined in DNA isolated from specific white blood cell types. Microarray analysis will be used to assess changes in multiple methylation sites within regulatory pathways for folate metabolism and/or development. Each subject will serve as her own control.

Body Composition
Tidsram: Baseline and 8 weeks
Body composition in terms of fat mass (g), lean mass (g) and % body fat will be determined using the BODPOD instrument and verified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The DXA analysis will also provide an indication of regional fat distribution, and total bone area, bone mineral content and bone density.
