Key Takeaway
Methylation capacity affects glutathione production and oxidative stress management, with implications for detoxification and cellular protection.
Summary
This study examined the relationship between methylation metabolism, oxidative stress, and glutathione status.
Impaired methylation was associated with reduced glutathione (the body's master antioxidant), suggesting methylation support may enhance detoxification capacity and stress resilience.
