High folic acid consumption leads to pseudo-MTHFR deficiency, altered lipid metabolism, and liver injury in mice. [PDF]
Increased consumption of folic acid is prevalent, leading to concerns about negative consequences. The effects of folic acid on the liver, the primary organ for folate metabolism, are largely unknown.

Metabolite-dependent regulation of gene expression in trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Mechanisms regulating gene expression in trypanosomatid protozoa differ significantly from those in other eukaryotes. Transcription of the genome appears to be more or less constitutive with the polyadenylation and trans-splicing of large polycistronic ...

Methionine Adenosyltransferase 1a (MAT1A) Enhances Cell Survival During Chemotherapy Treatment and is Associated with Drug Resistance in Bladder Cancer PDX Mice. [PDF]
Bladder cancer is among the top ten most common cancers, with about ~380,000 new cases and ~150,000 deaths per year worldwide. Tumor relapse following chemotherapy treatment has long been a significant challenge towards completely curing cancer.

S-Adenosylmethionine and Pneumocystis carinii [PDF]
We previously reported that S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), a key molecule in methylation reactions and polyamine biosynthesis, enhances axenic culture of the AIDS-associated opportunistic fungal pathogen Pneumocystis carinii. Here we report that AdoMet is absolutely required for continuous growth. Two transporters are present, one high affinity, K(m) =

Excess S-adenosylmethionine inhibits methylation via catabolism to adenine
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a widely available dietary supplement. Exogenous SAM is catabolized to adenine, an inhibitor of adenosylhomocysteinase, leading to widespread methylation inhibition and disruption of circadian rhythms in vitro and in mice.

Environment, epigenetics and neurodegeneration: Focus on nutrition in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Many different environmental factors (nutrients, pollutants, chemicals, physical activity, lifestyle, physical and mental stress) can modulate epigenetic markers in the developing and adult organism. Epigenetics, in turn, can cause and is associated with
