Methionine metabolite concentrations in MS and control cortical gray matter tissue
| Homocysteine (nmol/g) | SAM (nmol/g) | SAH (nmol/g) | Methionine (nmol/g) | Cystathionine (nmol/g) | Betaine (nmol/g) | Choline (nmol/g) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS (n = 30) | 12.3 (±6.1) | 12.5* (±3.7) | 15.6 (±4.9) | 88.7 (±44.8) | 525* (±469) | 47.8* (±30.8) | 232 (±115) |
| Control (n = 20) | 13.2 (±7.0) | 15.5 (±6.4) p = 0.04 | 17.0 (±4.0) | 99.9 (±59.3) | 1389 (±1054) p = 0.0002 | 85.5 (±48.0) p = 0.001 | 247 (±159) |
The asterisks denote significance between MS and control concentrations (p < 0.05).
