Abstract
A new paradigm of disease centers around the metabolic pathways of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), the intermediates of these pathways and other metabolic pathways influenced by the SAM pathways. Methods are provided to analyze and modulate SAM pathways associated with a disease or condition. Such methods permit identification and utilization of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols and agents for such disease states and conditions.
