Enhanced Brain Function : Vitamin B12 promotes thinking, memory, and concentration, thus creating mental clarity
During the catabolism of fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms and the amino acids valine, isoleucine, methionine, and threonine, the resultant propionyl-CoA is converted to succinyl-CoA for oxidation in the TCA cycle

Dietary folate deficiencies and drugs that interfere with folate metabolism, eg, methotrexate, an anti-carcinogenic agent that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, and nitrous dioxide (N 2 O), an anesthetic gas that inhibits methionine synthase activity, lead to accumulations and cellular effluxes of homocysteine, causing increases in circulating homocysteine levels (Ueland and Refsum, 1989)
It was demonstrated that the application of antioxidants, i.e., Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and turmeric, greatly increased the circulating levels of T3 and T4, which could be caused by the direct participation of antioxidants on the thyroid gland or the activity of deiodinase enzyme (125)
