title: The effect of high doses of folic acid on the overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine content in human colon adenomatous polyps.
abstract: It was shown that the 3-month supplementation of patients having colon polyps with folic acid (5 mg/day) led to a 35% decrease in abnormally high ornithine decarboxylase activity in polyps that was accompanied by a 43% increase of S-adenosylmethionine content in polyps.
