Methylcobalamin is a vitamin B12 analog and is necessary for the maintenance of the nervous system Although some previous Studies have referred to the effects of methylcobalamin oil neurons, the precise mechanism of this effect remains obscure Here we show that methylcobalamin at concentrations above 100 nM promotes neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival and that these effects are mediated by the methylation cycle, a metabolic pathway involving methylation reactions. We also demonstrate that methylcobalamin increases Erk1/2 and Akt activities through the methylation cycle In a rat sciatic nerve injury model. continuous administration of high doses of methylcobalamin Improves nerve regeneration and functional recovery Therefore. methylcobalamin may provide the basis for better treatments of nervous disorders through effective systemic or local delivery of high doses of methylcobalamin to target organs (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved.
