Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 and is found in foods such as citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables, and beans. In contrast, FA is the synthetic form and is commonly found in supplements and added to fortified foods. The metabolism of folate and FA plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and methylation; therefore, understanding the mechanism through which a decrease in folate and FA consumption affects the development of breast cancer (BC) is important. DNA hypermethylation can inhibit the transcription of tumor suppressor genes, while DNA hypomethylation may have the same effect and activate oncogene transcription. However, some genetic variants exist, such as rs1801133 and rs1801131 in the <i>MTHFR</i> gene and rs1051266 in the <i>RFC</i> gene. The <i>MTHFR</i> gene encodes an enzyme that facilitates the utilization of folate to support essential bodily functions, while the <i>RFC</i> gene is responsible for transporting folate into cells and acts as an anion exchanger. Both genes intervene in the transport and absorption of FA and are related to an increased risk of cancer. Studies investigating the relationship between FA and BC often rely on <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> models; however, the findings may not fully translate to humans due to significant physiological and metabolic differences across species.

{"title":"Negative Association between Vitamin E Intake and Remnant Cholesterol: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2020.","authors":"Jing Cao, Yingjie Su, Yijia Xiao, Sue Zhao, Hongzhong Yang","doi":"10.31083/IJVNR26882","DOIUrl":"10.31083/IJVNR26882","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Remnant cholesterol (RC) is a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, making it a potentially effective management tool for preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between vitamin E intake and RC remains unclear.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Survey 2007-2020. 11,585 participants (aged ≥20, 48% male) were included. Information on vitamin E intake (dietary vitamin E intake and total vitamin E intake) was collected. RC was defined as serum total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Survey-weighted linear regression models and a restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to test the relationship between vitamin E intake and RC. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were also performed to verify the robustness of the results.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After adjusting for all potential confounders (demographics, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, diet, and comorbidities), dietary vitamin E intake was negatively associated with RC (β = -0.21, 95% CI: (-0.29, -0.12), <i>p</i> < 0.0001), and this negative association was also present between total vitamin E intake and RC (β = -0.12, 95% CI: (-0.18, -0.06), <i>p</i> < 0.0001). The RCS analysis revealed a nonlinear negative association between vitamin E intake and RC. The negative correlation existed in different subgroups, with no interaction except for the \"use of vitamin E supplements\" subgroup.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Vitamin E intake showed a protective association with RC. The results suggest that increasing dietary vitamin E intake may help reduce RC levels and CVD risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":13884,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research","volume":"95 1","pages":"26882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143709672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
