Question
Chapter 25, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
To write:
About the vitamins B6, B12 and folate recommendation to individuals with high blood serum levels of homocysteine.
Introduction:
Homocysteine could be a non-protein that derives from S-adenosine. SAM is extremely necessary therein it provides a methyl radical for methyltransferases.
