  2. Resynthesis of Methionine Methionine Cobalamin 5-methyl THF Methylene THF reductase S-adenosylmethionine Methioninesynthase or Homocysteine methyl -transferase 5,10 methylene THF 5-adenosyl homocysteine Glycine Serine HydroxymethylTransferase Serine Methylcobalamin Homocysteine THF Role of Folate Role of B12 Cystathionine

  3. Association Between Brain Aging and B Vitamins • Hypothesis #1: • Accumulation of phosphorylated brain tau protein phosphate(PP2A) is a characteristic of Alzheimers • How does this relate ? • When Hcy cant metabolize and begins to form more SAH, there is inhibition of methyltransferase-dependent reactions, which results in reduced methylation of PP2A • This inhibits PP2A methyltransferase (PPMT) and results in accumulation of phosphorylated tau
