Methionine : A unique sulfur-containing amino acid that can be used to build proteins and produce many molecules in the body, including the antioxidant glutathione and the molecule SAMe, which improves mood
In hepatocytes and adipocytes it reduces the activity of key lipogenic enzymes: Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) , a key step in fatty acid synthesis Fatty acid synthase (FAS) , the enzyme creating long chains of fatty acids Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in adipocytes, reduces uptake of circulating triglycerides into fat cells Imagine it as turning valves in a pipeline, you close the inflow (lipogenesis), open the outflow (lipolysis)
However, at high concentrations, H 2 S inhibits the electron transport chain by targeting cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and heme-copper-dependent respiratory oxidases in prokaryotes, inducing the expression of sulfide-resistant oxidases 6-8
