In vitro study | S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (Ademetionine) is involved in three main metabolic pathways: 1) methylation, as the principal source of methyl groups in the body; 2) transsulfuration, S-Adenosyl-L-methionine forms S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and then converted to homocysteine (Hcy) which can be converted to cystathionine then to cysteine and the sulfate (SO4) donated to other metabolic intermediates; and 3) aminopropylation, as S-Adenosyl-L-methionine plays an important role in the synthesis of polyamines which can eventually form and recycle methionine. In vitro studies using human articular chondrocytes have shown S-Adenosyl-L-methionine-induced increases in proteoglycan synthesis and proliferation rates in rabbits. |
In vivo study | Mice lacking methionine adenosyltransferase 1a (Mat1a) have reduced hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine levels and develop oxidative stress, steatohepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, injury and HCC also occur if hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine level is excessive chronically. Thus a normal hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine level is necessary to maintain liver health and prevent injury and HCC. |

biological activity | S-Adenosyl-L-methionine tosylate (S-Adenosyl meth tosylate) it is endogenously produced from methionine and ATP by the action of methionine adenosyltransferase and is an important orally active methyl donor. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine tosylate is a dietary supplement that has potent anti-depressant and analgesic effects and can be used in studies of liver disease and osteoarthritis. |
