## Abstract Formation of homocysteine (Hcy) is the constitutive process of gene methylation. Hcy is primarily synthesized by de‐methylation of methionine, in which s‐adenosyl‐methionine (SAM) is converted to s‐adenosyl‐homocysteine (SAH) by methyltransferase (MT). SAH is then hydrolyzed to Hcy and
## Abstract The elucidation of mechanisms and pathogenesis of birth defects is exceedingly complex. Consequently, there are few examples where the etiology of birth defects caused by a specific agent has been well described. One such example is the “Edema Syndrome” first described by Casimer Grabow
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is critical to the teratogenic effects of diabetic pregnancy, yet the specific biochemical pathways responsible for oxidative stress have not been fully elucidated. The hexosamine pathway is activated in many tissues during diabetes and could contribute t
## Abstract Toxic effects of several nitro‐aryl drugs are attributed to the nitro‐reduction that may be suffered __in vivo__, a reaction that may be catalysed by different reductases. One of these enzymes is NADPH–cytochrome P450 reductase, which belongs to the cytochrome P450 oxidative system main
