چکیده    Maternal exposure to dietary factors during pregnancy can influence embryonic development and may modulate the phenotype of offspring through epigenetic programming. folate is critical for nucleotide synthesis,and preconceptional intake of dietary folic acid (fa) is credited with reduced incidences of neural tube defects in infants. while fortification of grains with fa resulted in a positive public-health outcome,concern has been raised for the need for further investigation of unintended consequences and potential health hazards arising from excessive fa intakes,especially following reports that fa may exert epigenetic effects. the objective of this article is to discuss the role of fa in human health and to review the benefits,concerns and epigenetic effects of maternal fa on the basis of recent findings that are important to design future studies. © 2014 barua et al.; licensee biomed central ltd.
