The Life X DNA service utilises a simple cheek swab to collect DNA samples, which are then analysed using next-generation sequencing and AI-powered software.

As time goes by, our bodies change, you know, even the brain. A major change is how brain structure seems to shrink with age. Studies show that this happens at both large and small levels inside. You ...

In its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), folate provides methyl groups essential for converting homocysteine to methionine, a reaction central to methylation capacity.

In the SAM transmethylation pathway, ATP and methionine combine to produce SAM, which is the major methyl group donor for most methylations in the cell. The SAM transmethylation pathway is one of the ...

If you have more methylation, you have fewer reuptake transporters made, which gives your more neurotransmitters in the synapse. Take a deep breath and soak that in for a bit; we’ll talk about ...

The top five results for the association between change in methylation and each individual lipid response to fenofibrate are given in Table 2. None of the associations reached the Bonferroni corrected ...

Methylation is intimately linked to gene expression. Adding methyl groups to DNA may activate or silence particular genes. This does not change the genetic code but affects how genes are expressed.

With the MTHFR gene and homocysteine pathways compromised, there are some critical nutrients that need to be supplemented. SAMe, a methionine-based amino acid, is important, combined with methylation ...
