{"product_id":"methylation-profile-5101","title":"Methylation Profile","description":"\u003cp\u003eMethylation is a process where certain nutrients called ‘methyl donors’ are added to specific elements of DNA, our gene markers and proteins that keep them physiologically active.  Methylation is a major pathway to focus on in understanding autoimmune and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, dementia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, depression, anxiety and autism spectrum disorders.  Methylation is responsible for making, maintaining and repairing DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe methylation cycle is a biochemical pathway that manages or contributes to a wide range of biochemical functions: detoxification, supporting DNA (turning genes on and off), producing energy, reducing inflammation, synthesising neurotransmitters, homocysteine metabolism, protein methylation, phase 2 liver detoxification and supporting immune function.  Inadequate methylation capacity can lead to birth defects, depression, cognitive decline, and cancer.  Impaired methylation has even been associated with autism.  Support of methylation markers has been associated with rapid return of speech, improvement of behaviour in ADD and ADHD spectrums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mental Health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Methylation Kit (Fasting) (DRY ICE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e CI05.20.01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e LCMS\/MS\/MS (Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batch Testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5MTHF)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFolinic acid\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eS-Adenosyl Homocysteine (SAH)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eS-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSAMe:SAH ratio\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTetrahydrofolate (THF)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5101-METHYLATION-PROFILE-.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/5101-Methylation-Profile.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
