Official title:
Effect of Folic Acid Supplementation on Plasma Homocysteine Level in Obese Children: a Randomized Double Blinded Placebo Controlled Trial
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether folic acid supplementation could reduce plasma homocysteine in obese children and to determine the association between dietary folate, serum folate and homocysteine level through the randomized double blinded placebo controlled trial.
