decrease with age and low levels can cause many serious diseases.
Aging - associated increases in oxidative damage to key enzymes results in their structural deformation and
decreased binding affinity for the co-enzyme, causing a
decrease in enzyme funtion.8 Ames» research has demonstrated that increasing the availability
of acetyl L - carnitine and α - lipoic acid, two nutrients that serve as mitochondrial enzyme co-factors, restores the velocity
of the reactions (KM) in the related enzymes, and thus restores aging mitochondria's ability to produce youthful levels
of ATP.9 10 11 12 13 Part II focused on the inter-relationships among the folate, methylation and transsulfuration pathways, whose dysfunction results in increased free radical production coupled with disruption
of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, thus accelerating mitochondrial decay and aging.

of life will experience sooner or later a
decrease in muscle function, a
decrease in immune function, a
decrease in plasma albumin concentration, and / or an increase in TNF - α concentration, it is hypothesized that practically everybody experiences sooner or later an ageing - related deficit in the body cysteine and
glutathione reservoirs that warrants cysteine supplementation.
