Glossary Methionine

essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and metabolism

Methionine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism and overall health. It is a building block for proteins and is important for the growth and repair of tissues. Methionine also contributes to the production of other important molecules, such as cysteine and taurine, and is involved in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is vital for methylation processes in the body.

research Senile hair graying: H ₂ O ₂ ‐mediated oxidative stress affects human hair color by blunting methionine sulfoxide repair

217 citations , February 2009 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study found that hydrogen peroxide accumulation and reduced methionine sulfoxide repair play a significant role in the oxidative damage linked to senile hair graying.

research Methionine improves feather follicle development in chick embryos by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling

28 citations , June 2020 in “Poultry Science”

This study found that injecting L- or DL-Methionine into chick embryos increased feather growth and follicle development by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, with no difference between the two methionine forms.

research Cystathionine β‐synthase‐deficient mice thrive on a low‐methionine diet

28 citations , November 2013 in “The FASEB journal”

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

research Betaine supplementation is less effective than methionine restriction in correcting phenotypes of CBS deficient mice

19 citations , July 2015 in “Journal of inherited metabolic disease”

This study observed that while betaine supplementation decreases total homocysteine and increases methionine levels in a mouse model of CBS deficiency, it is not as effective as methionine restriction in reversing associated phenotypes.

research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair

11 citations , February 2018 in “Amino acids”

This study found that homocysteine-keratin accumulation in human hair increases towards the tips, linked to copper/iron-catalyzed demethylation of methionine, and may contribute to keratin damage.
