Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In vitro studies have shown that UV radiation can degrade folate and folic acid in human blood and this has been confirmed in several human studies. Despite these findings, there is a dearth of epidemiological research into investigating the relationship between folate status and the links to solar UV exposure.
Detailed explanation-2: -In vitro studies have demonstrated UVR exposure may directly degrade folates and stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species by endogenous photosensitisers, which may increase folate needs and losses [10, 11, 12, 13].
