Description

Methionine is an essential amino acid that is a component of proteins. Methionine has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, and may be useful for the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Methionine has been shown to inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species and increase mitochondrial membrane potential in mitochondria in a model system. Methionine also inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide synthase activity. In addition, methionine inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species in microcapsules as well as plant metabolism, which is important for maintaining a healthy environment. The use of methionine as an anti-inflammatory agent may be due to its ability to inhibit IL-6 or TNF-α production in response to LPS stimulation. Methionine also has antioxidant properties which are believed to be due to its ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce lipid peroxidation. Lastly, methionine is biocompatible with
