We propose a simple mathematical model of liver S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) metabolism. Analysis of the model has shown that AdoMet metabolism can operate under two di!erent modes. The "rst, with low metabolic rate and low AdoMet concentration, serves predominantly to supply the cell with AdoMet,
**The cover picture shows** one branch of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism, which is mainly localized in astrocytes. One key metabolite, kynurenic acid (KYNA), is transported in the extracellular space, where it modulates synaptically localized Ξ±7β nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and
