Let’s explore “Homocysteine, folate transport, and uric acid”

Meet the immune signals IL-8 and MCP-1 and the research question linking them to homocysteine.

Explore the possible links between homocysteine, immune signaling, and pain.

See what homocysteine, D-dimer, and CRP each measure.

Compare studies of homocysteine and glutathione with evidence of benefit in people.

Separate questions about toxin exposure from questions about genetics and antioxidant pathways.

Learn the difference between a cardiovascular risk marker and a treatment that prevents events.

Explore a research question about IL-23 medicines and homocysteine-related inflammation.

… in cellular biochemistry. The Problem With Synthetic Folic Acid The standard advice from standard doctors is to take synthetic folic acid. For someone with the C677T genetic mutation, this is disastrous. Your enzyme pathway is physically a…

An amino acid used in protein synthesis and other metabolic processes. Also called: Serine An amino acid with two pathway connections Serine connects with both sulfur handling and folate chemistry. It comes up when discussing the route from…

FOLH1 helps break down folate from food so it can be absorbed. This is different from the MTHFR step. Also called: Folate Hydrolase 1 Folate handling begins before remethylation Dr. Purser’s genetic chapters include FOLH1 in folate handling…

SHMT1 connects serine and glycine with folate chemistry. Also called: Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase 1 Where amino acids meet folate SHMT1 connects serine and glycine with folate pathways. That is one reason both nutrition and genetics can…

Encodes the reduced folate carrier, a protein involved in transporting folates into cells. Also called: RFC1, reduced folate carrier, folate transport Folate transport is part of the story Dr. Purser’s folate map includes transport as well …
