FOR THOSE WHO KNOWS ME AND SEE ME AS PATIENTS. THIS WORD KEEP COMING PRETTY OFFTER AND I KNOW YOU ALL THINK WHAT THE F IS HE TALKING ABOUT. LOL.. WELL, HERE IS A SHORT REVIEW OF THAT WORK AND MORE THEN THAT.... THE MEANING OF IT. LADIES... IF YOU HEARD YOUR DR OR WANT/NEED TO BE TESTES FOR MTHRF... THEN THIS IS WHY. About Methylation ”Methylation” is the broad label for biochemical processes involving enzymes ”tagging and untagging” bioactive molecules with ”methyl groups” (CH 3 ). Methylation involves multiple processes and systems in the body including neurotransmitter production/balance, the detoxification and elimination of environmental- and internally generated toxins, the turning on and off of genes (”epigenetics” or ”gene expression”), and regulation of immune function. As methylation processes are both ubiquitous in the body and governed by specific genes in which common variants/mutations are common, methylation is one of the most important contexts where nutrition can interact with one’s genetic makeup in a powerful but not always obvious way. This makes genetic testing a helpful screening tool for potential problems. Problems with methylation have been tied to psychiatric diseases and syndromes such as Autism, Schizophrenia and others, but can also affect a more healthy person’s ability to concentrate on tasks, to cope with stress, and to experience appropriate emotions. Methylation problems are also associated with cardiovascular disease and many types of cancer because of methylations role in protecting the body from toxicity from carcinogens as well as regulating gene expression.
