I thought in psychosis and schizo dopamine is too much, but what you point is serotonin related. Do you mean all gates lead to pyridoxine. Of course all B vits includes all of them, but lately this particular one is least mentioned.
It is all about FAD and NADPH. not just NADPH. they recycle glutathione . pyridoxine is activated by FAD or zinc. so it is about pyridoxine. this is why I give b1 and b2. and b6 This will convert tryptophan to niacin with zero problems, chelate iron( if you have it high) , retain potassium and increase NADPH.
NADPH oxidase will be activated when there is no potassium. So potassium is important along with magnesium
In chizo there is high dopamine, since ascorbate is not recycled by glutathione. You need Fad and NADPH for that.
It is all about the balance of FAD with NADPH. One makes another work.
if there is no NADPH , FAD wont be available either, since NADPH oxidase = FAD enzyme.
Riboflavin + NADPH= reduced ribo
And b6 active( which is fad or zinc) wont be working if there is no histidine, or there is high histamine. Since they convert histidine into histamine.
This is why B2 is needed to convert folates into methylfolate. since it activates b6. Methylfolate will lower histamine, and if you have low histamine already. this will lower your copper.
And if you give b2 without b1. you will increase histamines and have crazy intercellular histamines. And lower intracellular histamine since b2 is also in DAO ( since dao needs active b6 which is b2 and zinc)
This is why in really bad histamine cases, you give b2 with methylfolate for a short time. along with all other bs and b1 and then you take away methylfolate. Methylfolate is to clear intercellular histamines basically substituting b1, and to speed up B2 availability which increases active b6 to produce more histamine and methylfolate.
We were talking about the markers how to see NADPH activity , but we need to look for the markers to see FAD and NADPH activity.
but overall, IDO TDO pathway is what matters also, some have it activated and some have the problems to activate it. And it is all about iron b2 ( b6) for this pathway.
To make NADPH you need NAD, pentose and phosphorus. to make NAD you need iron and b2.( b6)
But there are 100s of regulations of all this stuff, that is why it is so hard to lift up, since if you dont account for one connected thing, it does not work.
Androgens induce NADPH oxidase. since androgens lower potassium. After looking at
@Yura it is understandable why he saw crazy oxidives stress and losing his elastic tissue. May be even heart tissue. SO androgens are not good IMO.
This is why we need to look at the balance of B vitamins here. And see which ones we are missing.
Actually in pyroluria they give zinc and b6. Those are lost in the urine. And people are wondering why are those lost in the urine.
Since glutathione is not working. And zinc and b6 will make histamine. And there is no methyl folate without glutathione to get rid of histamine intercellular.
So we have 2 histamines intra and intercelluar. intra is taken care off by DAO which is copper and active b6 and histidine.
and intercellular is taken care of by methylfolate. So obviously for the methylation to work, you need to have histamine made) And some blocks in the methylation will be because of lack of histidine also.
B6 can be activated by B2 or zinc. 2 different enzymes. So If you have low methylfolate because of low FAD. then you cant get rid of histamine. And body has to lower zinc and b6 and puts it into the urine.( and this is called pyroluria). since if it does not , then people have anxiety , since their intercellur histamines are too high. These people never really recover on zinc and b6. Since that will never increase their FAD.
SO I would assume it is more of a FAD( NAPDH) deficiency which causes zinc and B6 to be out, in pyroluria.
Hoffer cured schizo with huge doses of niacin. Basically lowering intercellular histamines .( which is what schizo is) dopamine thing is a part of it. the oxidative stress kills cerebellum , it gets smaller and smaller and smaller. So schizo is basically oxidative stress disease
And it kills cerebellum by oxidation and actually there isnt enough NDMA action there which ruins GABA reception. And slowly gaba goes down. since GABA itself ruins KCC2 transporter I would assume.
The role of the cerebellum in schizophrenia: from cognition to molecular pathways
