Your labs are normal. So why do you still not feel normal? Tired. Foggy. Run down. Frustrated. Being told everything looks fine can be reassuring, but it does not always answer every question about how you feel. Sometimes it is wo

A molecule made from glutamate, cysteine and glycine that participates in cellular redox balance.

Is used to make coenzyme A, important in energy and fat metabolism.

Supports amino-acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production and hemoglobin synthesis.

Makes an enzyme that helps break down catechol compounds, including some neurotransmitters. A common variant does not by itself explain mood, attention or stress tolerance.

GAD1 helps your body make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.

GAD2 helps make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.

NR3C1 encodes the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps tissues respond to cortisol and glucocorticoid medicines. Receptor genetics and measured cortisol levels answer different questions.

NR3C2 encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor, which responds to hormones such as aldosterone and helps regulate salt and fluid balance. It is distinct from the NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor.

GSTO2 encodes glutathione S-transferase omega 2, a redox enzyme with dehydroascorbate reductase activity that connects glutathione chemistry with vitamin C recycling. It is a separate gene from GSTO1.

HMGB1 normally has functions inside the cell nucleus. When released outside cells in particular settings, it can act as a damage-associated molecular pattern, or DAMP, participating in inflammatory signaling.

IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signal that can act as an alarmin during tissue stress and promote type 2 immune responses. It belongs in a different functional group from chemokines that recruit cells.
