Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation plays a critical role in gene regulation and has been implicated in the etiology of chronic disease including atherosclerosis, neural degeneration and cancer. One-carbon metabolism serves two critically important functions: one concerning the production of purines and thymidine for DNA synthesis and the other related to the provision of methyl groups through the metabolism of...
