The methylation potential (MP) is defined as the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). It was shown recently that hypoxia increases AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio in HepG2 cells (Hermes et al., Exp Cell Res 294: 325-334, 2004). In the present study, we compared AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio and energy metabolism in HepG2, HEK-293, HeLa, MCF-7 and SK-HEP-1 cell lines under normoxia and hypoxia.
