Reducing the essential amino acid methionine in the diet lessened multiple sclerosis (MS)-like symptoms in a mouse model of the disease, new research shows.
The findings suggest that a methionine-restricted diet, or treatments that target methionine-related biological processes, could be beneficial in MS.
The data were shared in the presentation, “Impact of Methionine Intake on Inflammation,” presented at the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) Forum 2021 by Catherine Larochelle, MD, PhD, professor at the Université de Montréal in Canada.

The age of onset, sex, clinical features, and other demographic characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Latin America largely mirror those seen in MS patients in North America and Europe.
Although some Latin American countries are now collecting greater amounts of data on MS, demographic information remains scarce across the region.
To get a better sense of these demographics and how they compare to other world regions, Fernando Gracia, MD, of ULACIT University, in Panama, reviewed and summarized the available literature on the topic.
