ok, so that's why people with high plasma cysteine would have just as

Yes. As you pointed here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methionine

" Although mammals cannot synthesize methionine, they can still utilize

it in a variety of biochemical pathways:

" Methionine is converted to S-adenosylmethionine

</wiki/S-adenosylmethionine> (SAM) by (1) methionine adenosyltransferase

</wiki/Methionine_adenosyltransferase>. SAM serves as a methyl-donor in

many (2) methyltransferase </wiki/Methyltransferase> reactions and is

converted to S-adenosylhomocysteine </wiki/S-adenosylhomocysteine>

(SAH). (3) adenosylhomocysteinase </wiki/Adenosylhomocysteinase>

converts SAH to homocysteine </wiki/Homocysteine>.

" There are two fates of homocysteine </wiki/Homocysteine>:

* " Methionine can be regenerated from homocysteine [...]

* " Homocysteine can be converted to cysteine. [...] "

Or, as I say, check out AI.

Dave.
