Arg1 - Important for Clearing Arginine and Ammonia that Can Cause Brain Fog
Arg1 is a key gene needed in the urea cycle to clear ammonia which can cause brain fog. There are many common herbs used in various anti inflammatory and anti oxidant therapies that inhibit Arg1. If you suffer from brain fog, this article may be interesting to explore.
Magnesium, Epsom Salt Baths, & The Production of NAD+ and Reduction In Quinolinic Acid (Neurotoxic)
Many use epsom salt baths to ‘relax and recharge’, or simply help our mind become less stressed. What is going, why is this happening ? We will explore the NAD+/NADPH pathway, magnesium, the QPRT gene, quinolinic acid, and one of many reasons why oxidative stress matters (alot).
Heme: Sub-Clinical Porphyria and Long Haul and ME CFS
Heme is one of the most common cofactors in the body needed for : All Phase I CYP450 enzymes, Nitic Oxide, Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase, Super Oxide Dismutase, Electron Transport In Complexes II, III, IV, Cytochrome C, SUOX (Sulfur), Tryptophan metabolism, and NAD/NADPH synthesis. Some of the more extreme symptoms include sensitivity to sunlight, gall bladder attacks and strange abdominal pain, skin lesions and acute neurovisceral attacks, and alcohol sensitivity. Deficiencies in the required cofactors such as : B2, B6, B7, B12, Lipoic Acid, Glycine, Succinyl Co A, Zinc, Copper, or Iron can disrupt heme biosynthesis. Critically impacted in hypoxic conditions, as well as by oxidative stress and toxic gut metabolites like acetyl aldehydes and hydrogen sulfide.
