potential link between the MTHFR gene and glyphosate exposure, primarily due to the role of MTHFR in detoxification and the potential impact of glyphosate on methylation processes.
Magnesium is a vital cofactor in the methylation cycle.
Magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, acting as a cofactor or activator for numerous enzymes involved in energy production and glucose regulation. It plays a crucial role in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the pentose phosphate pathway, influencing insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. Magnesium deficiency can impair these processes, leading to insulin resistance and potentially contributing to type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes can exacerbate amyloid and neurovascular pathology in the brain. Amyloid deposits, including amylin, can accumulate in the brain.
Research suggests that glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, may play a role in promoting neuroinflammation and the accumulation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins in the brain.
Polymorphism in the context of carbohydrate metabolism refers to variations in DNA sequences (alleles) that affect how the body processes carbohydrates.
Polymorphisms are essentially common genetic variations (occurring in more than 1% of the population) that can alter the function of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
Magnesium ions (Mg2+) play a crucial role in the structure and function of Coenzyme A (CoA) and its derivatives. Magnesium binding to CoA stabilizes its structure and affects its interactions with other molecules, influencing various cellular processes. Specifically, magnesium interacts with the phosphate groups and the adenosine ring of CoA.

Mg2+ is needed to feed the electron transport chain with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NADH) and flavine-adenine dinucleotide reduced (FADH2) due to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) requires Mg2+ to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Also, Mg2+ is fundamental to signal transduction processes requiring kinases because almost all transphosphorylation reactions require Mg2+.
