Informazioni sul prodotto

• Nome: L-Homocysteinesulfinic acid
• Marchio: Biosynth
• Descrizione: L-Homocysteinesulfinic acid is an endogenous metabolite of the amino acid homocysteine. It is a reactive molecule that has been shown to cause neuronal death in vitro and in vivo. L-Homocysteinesulfinic acid binds to the NMDA receptor and inhibits its function, which may cause apoptosis. L-Homocysteinesulfinic acid also binds to the alpha2-adrenergic receptor and enhances uptake of glutamate, thereby causing neuronal death. L-Homocysteinesulfinic acid has been shown to be elevated in cancer patients, as well as those with a high risk for developing cancer. This compound is also elevated in individuals with metabolic syndrome and carnitine deficiency, as well as those with occipital cortex damage or brain cells affected by Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. The mitochondria are the sites of metabolic production and energy conversion processes; they are also responsible for mitochondrial functions such as ATP synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation.
