Background: Folate and cobalamin are needed for synthesis of methionine, a substrate of methylation in epigenetic, and epigenomic pathways. Methyl donor deficiency (MDD) leads to hyperhomocysteinemia, which has been related to osteoporosis in humans and disruption of epiphyseal cartilage and bone development in rodents. Recent studies have revealed evidence for association between 25(OH)D3 and homocysteine levels, however, underlying mechanisms remain elusive.<p...

Background and aims: Folate and vitamin B12 are methyl donors (MD) needed for the synthesis of methionine, which is the precursor of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the substrate of methylation in epigenetic, and epigenomic pathways. Low dietary intakes of folate and vitamin B12 are frequent, especially in pregnant women and in the elderly, and deficiency constitutes a risk factor for various diseases. The MD deficiency (MDD) leads to a decrease in SAM:SAH (S-ade...
