what else increases NAA

Posted by linkadge on November 7, 2004, at 19:46:06

I know that lithium increases brain levels of NAA (n-acetlyasparate) a marker of cellular viability.

Is there anything else that inreases it ??

Homocysteine lowers it, improving methylation would help...

'Elevated levels of homocysteine were associated with low concentrations of cerebral NAA'

'The highly similar time course and correlation between NAA and ATP supports the notion that NAA reduction is related to energetic impairment'
