 | | Metabolism of the amino acid methionine, a limiting amino acid in the synthesis of many proteins, affects several biochemical pathways involving the production of nutrients which are essential to the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular, skeletal, and nervous systems. |
 | | The metabolic pathways of betaine, methionine, methylcobalamin, and 5-methylTHF are interrelated, intersecting at the regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. |
 | | Because homocysteine metabolism, through the re-methylation and trans-sulfuration pathways, affects several biochemical pathways involving the production of nutrients which are essential to the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular, skeletal, and nervous systems, it is not surprising these other nutrients have been linked to complications of pregnancy in animal models and humans. |
