Glyphosate Exposure: Genetics and the Impact on Our Health

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Round-Up. A recent study showed that people with CYP1A1 genetic variants are more likely to have problems with acetylcholinesterase inhibition from glyphosate.

Nrf2 Pathway: Toxin Detoxification, genes activated by Nrf2, natural pathways to activate Nrf2

Nrf2 Pathway: Increasing the Body’s Ability to Get Rid of Toxins

The Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor) signaling pathway regulates the expression of antioxidants and phase II detoxification enzymes. It is a fundamental pathway important in how well your body functions. Your genetic variants in the NFE2L2 gene impact this NRF2 pathway.

How HMGB1 acts as an alarmin, escalating the inflammatory response to infection and injury

HMGB1 gene: Inflammatory Response Protein and COVID-19

The HMGB1 protein has a unique role in activating the inflammatory response pathways. Increased HMGB1 levels will call up the troops for a big response to an infection. Discover how genetic variants of this protein vary the risk of cancer, inflammation, and sepsis to name a few.
