The distal end (S49 ECD ) of the helix was more mobile than the proximal one (E34 ECD ), which had an overall tendency to remain in the proximity of the TT-OAD2-binding site, driven by transient interactions with the ligand (Extended Data Table 1) and hydrogen bonds with the R299 ECL2 side chain (Extended Data Table 2)
The B vitamins help to support glutathione metabolism and therefore combat this increased oxidative stress leading to a reduction in menopausal symptoms
