The Methylation Episode!
The word ‘methylation’ has become somewhat of a buzz word in functional and personalized medicine. We’ve mentioned it several times throughout many episodes of The Lab Report – hard to avoid since it’s involved in just about every biological process.
In today’s episode, we finally hit the topic of methylation head on and dive into the methylation cycle itself. What is it? Why should you care? Although biochemistry can be intimidating, listen as we simplify and demystify the steps involved. You may find it helpful to refer to a Methylation Pathway Chart while listening to this one!
Today on The Lab Report:
- 2:00 What is methylation and why is it clinically important
- 5:30 Jumping into the biochemistry – metaphors to the rescue!
- 11:35 Homocysteine
- 14:00 The main pathway versus back up pathway
- 19:33 Transsulfuration
- 22:30 Multi-omics and the methylation cycle
- 27:50 Question of the Day
- “What does it mean if homocysteine is low?”

The Methylation Cycle: Deep Cuts
Methylation is a very important enzymatic reaction responsible for so many crucial metabolic processes. In a previous episode, we introduced the topic of methylation and the basics of this biochemical reaction. However, there are many subtle nuances to consider when assessing whether a patient’s methylation cycle is out of balance.
Today, we dive a bit deeper into the biochemistry of methylation and peel back the layers to show how some of the specific biomarkers and backup pathways contribute to imbalance. And, what does that mean clinically? It may help to review our prior episode or use Genova’s Methylation Pathway Handout to follow along.
Today on The Lab Report:
- 2:50 Quick review of the methylation cycle
- 4:45 The important relationship between choline and betaine
- 7:05 Logical Speculation: Why is the betaine: choline ratio associated with disease risk?
- 9:35 Dimethylglycine (DMG)
- 11:15 Sarcosine and the ‘SAM disposal chute’
- 14:20 Glycine: What does it do?
- 16:55 Transsulfuration and glutathione
- 21:00 The multi-omics of the methylation panel
- 22:25 Question of the Day: What is the stability of measuring SAM and SAH?
