FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.

A sudden spike in folate or homocysteine is rarely caused by supplements. It is most often the result of a hidden infection or minor injury triggering a cytokine surge. Identifying and treating the underlying source is the key to bringing l

The truth is short and simple.

Chromium is even more critical than zinc to the glucose transport by the insulin receptor on the cell surface. Intracellular Chromium deficiencies are fairly common in my practice. Again early lack of chromium causes reversible insulin re

Zinc is critical for Glucose Transport through the cell wall via the Insulin Receptor. If you have low intracellular zinc level (much more telling and accurate versus serum levels) then this transport does not occur. Early and milder is j

MTHFD1 helps move folate between forms used for different jobs in the body. Also called: Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase 1 Folate has several working forms Dr. Purser includes MTHFD1 among genes involved in folate interconversion. T…

FOLR3 is the gene name for Folate Receptor 3. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

… called: Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), Cobalamin, B12, cobalamin Transport, use and tolerance Vitamin B12 is involved in the homocysteine pathway with MTR and MTRR. TCN2 helps carry B12. If you have tried a supplement, bring its exact form, such…

…it is not a swear word. MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, or simpler terms, the enzyme that processes folate in our bodies. MTHFR really stands for the gene that codes for this enzyme and the errors that occur with it.…

…tamin level. In particular, the usual association of B12 or folate deficiency is with higher homocysteine. Keep in mind Folate, B12, and B6 deficiencies more commonly raise homocysteine. A low result alone does not diagnose malnutrition or…

The folate cycle, methionine cycle, and transsulfuration pathway work together to move methyl groups and process homocysteine.
