The adrenals produce hormones to regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress, and other essential functions
Together, these vitamins work synergistically to protect against oxidative damage and support cellular health [192]
While classical gene mutations are region-limited, epimutations often occur early in cancer development and have a genome-wide impact, boosting on the one hand the expression of cell survival genes or proto-oncogenes and deactivating on the other hand tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), DNA repair mechanisms as well as cell division brakes, thus leading to carcinogenesis ( In addition to the genetic information encoded by the primary DNA sequence, epigenetic mechanisms add a layer of regulation of the information and includes DNA methylation, histone modifications as well as regulation by non-coding RNAs ( PATHOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS OF GSTP1 METHYLATION PATTERNS DNA methylation, the addition of a methyl-group to cytosines is the most common epigenetic modification, inducing the reorganization of the gene locus and thus regulating gene expression ( In its function as a cellular caretaker, attenuation of GSTP1 expression or activity by either genetic (e.g., deletion or mutation) or epigenetic alterations may reduce cellular detoxification capacity ( Figure 2 )
