FRIDAY, Dec. 1 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. researchers say they've identified the mechanism by which the intestinal tract absorbs the B vitamin folate from food.
The study is published in the Dec. 1 issue of the journal Cell.
The researchers said their findings solve the mystery of how the body absorbs folate from foods and pave the way to a genetic test to quickly identify and treat infants who are unable to absorb folate, which is also called folic acid.
However, with the Insight's body all of these panels, including the roof, floor, front and rear wheel wells, rear quarter-panels, bulkhead, and even the doors and hood, are made of aluminum alloy.
Full-frontal and offset-frontal impacts are first absorbed by the large-section, hexagonal extrusions that serve as the front-side frame members.
The aluminum extrusions that extend from the passenger compartment all the way back to the rear of the Insight on either side are also designed to progressively absorb rear-impact energy.
