Differences in post- and pre-intervention changes between intervention and control arms were calculated as a standardized mean difference (SMD), with 95% confidence interval (CI). A network meta-analysis (NMA), component NMA, pairwise meta-analysis (PW-MA) of 23 trials comprising 1525 participants were performed. By NMA, combined exercise with protein and BCAA supplementations had the greatest effect on increasing muscle mass (SMD 2.12; 95%CI: 0.59-3.65). Exercise alone or with BCAA/protein supplementation also significantly increased muscle mass, but protein or BCAA supplementation alone did not increase muscle mass. By PW-MA, exercise significantly improved physical performance versus control (SMD 1.43; 95%CI: 0.63-2.17; p < 0.01; I² = 59%) and exercise plus protein supplementation was superior to protein alone (SMD 0.66; 95%CI: 0.26-1.06; p = 0.001; I² = 0%). In the systematic review of effects of BCAA supplementation on muscle strength, its impact was inconclusive. Exercise is the mainstay of sarcopenia treatment in cirrhosis and is most effective at improving muscle mass when combined with protein and BCAA supplementation. Nutritional supplementation alone does not enhance muscle mass.

We have summarised the historical, clinical, epidemiological and experimental evidence accumulated over the last 60 years in the pre and postfortification eras, which consistently and substantially suggests that excess folate, in particular in folic acid users, can have direct harms to the nervous system, especially in the presence of vitamin B12 deficiency. The harms are related both to the dose and duration of exposure to excess folic acid. Recent experimental evidence suggests that impaired cortical neurogenesis with excess folic acid is similar to that of folate or vitamin B12 deficiency and greatest when folate excess is present with vitamin B12 deficiency. Excess folate leads to a fall in vitamin B12 levels and aggravation of the block in folate metabolism resulting from vitamin B12 deficiency. The balance between folate and vitamin B12 is crucial to the functioning of one carbon metabolic pathways, the methylation cycle and ultimately to DNA and RNA structure and function, genetic and epigenetic stability. Vitamin B12 deficiency is an independent risk factor for NTDs and accounts for the increased risk of NTDs in some countries where B12 deficiency is more common than folate deficiency. A more prudent and balanced approach to fortification with folic acid, or preferably a natural reduced folate, combined with vitamin B12 would potentially improve the benefits and reduce the harms, including epigenetic and transgenerational risks, associated with current public health policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":11927,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144854964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
