The role of methionine on metabolism, oxidative stress, and diseases

Martinez Y, Li X, Liu G

Published in Amino Acids

Key Findings

Methionine drives transmethylation, glutathione synthesis and polyamine production, but excess intake raises homocysteine and oxidative stress.

Benefit depends on adequacy rather than excess intake.

Mechanistic review, largely preclinical.

Amino Acid

Methionine supports transmethylation and glutathione synthesis, but excess intake raises homocysteine and oxidative stress.

Compound

Methionine drives transmethylation, glutathione synthesis and polyamine production, but excess intake raises homocysteine and oxidative stress.
