2020年5月6日 · Here, we show that methyl cycle inhibition affects biological rhythms in species ranging from unicellular algae to humans, separated by more than 1 billion years of evolution.
Methylation and Homocysteine: A Brief Overview
The complex metabolism of homocysteine within the body is highly dependent on vitamin derived cofactors. Deficiencies in vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6 are associated with raised homocysteine levels. Other factors thought to raise levels are poor diet and poor lifestyle.
