Is it time to start folate supplementation in men? The effect of paternal folate status on embryonic growth
Maternal folate status is essential in normal embryonic growth, with deficits in folate resulting in neural tube and other developmental defects. The importance of maternal folate supplementation in preventing congenital malformations is evidenced in part by dietary folate fortification in countries like the United States. Although the relationship between a mother’s diet and the long-term health of her offspring has been well studied, our understanding of how the paternal diet may affect fetal health remains limited.
