From: Multifaceted role of one-carbon metabolism on immunometabolic control and growth during pregnancy, lactation and the neonatal period in dairy cattle

Stage	Dietary manipulation^a	Effect on biomarker concentrations^b	Reference
Transition period	RP-Met or RP-Chol supply from −21 to 30 d relative to calving	↓ IL-1β and haptoglobin with RP-Met ↑ IL-6 with RP-Met ↑ PON, albumin and cholesterol with RP-Met ↑ Liver GSH and GSR with RP-Met	[25]
	RP-Met supply from − 28 to 30 d relative to calving	↓ Haptoglobin with RP-Met ↓ ROM with RP-Met ↑ IL-6 with RP-Met ↑ PON, albumin and cholesterol with RP-Met ↑ FRAP, β-carotene and tocopherol with RP-Met ↑ Liver GSH and GSR with RP-Met	[29]
	RP-Met or RP-Chol supply from − 21 to 21 d relative to calving	↑ IL-2 with RP-Met and RP-Chol ↓ IL-6 and TNF with RP-Met and RP-Chol ↑Total antioxidant capacity, GPX and vitamin E with RP-Met and RP-Chol ↓ Total bilirubin, ALP and MDA with RP-Met and RP-Chol ↑ TPP with RP-Chol ↓ GPT and GOT with RP-Chol ↓ BUN with RP-Met	[99]
	Met supply (RP-Met or Met-analogue) from − 21 to 30 d relative to calving	↓Ceruloplasmin and SAA with Met ↑ ORAC with Met	[33]
	RP-Met or RP-Chol supply from − 21 to 30 d relative to calving	↓ IL-1β after whole blood LPS challenge postpartum with RP-Met ↑ Neutrophil and monocyte phagocytosis and oxidative burst postpartum with RP-Met ↑ Monocyte phagocytosis with RP-Chol	[100]
	RP-Chol at 25 g/d prepartum and 50 g/d postpartum of Chol ions from − 21 to 60 d relative to calving	↓ Liver TLI and TAG with Chol ↓ Liver TAG:glycogen ratio with Chol ↑ Plasma TAG with Chol	[101]
Mid lactation	Chol ions at 0, 6.25, 12.5 or 25 g/d through abomasal infusion with restricted intake management during 4 d	↓ Liver CBS activity linearly with Chol ↑ Liver taurine with Chol ↑ Plasma α-tocopherol and β-carotene with Chol ↓ Plasma AST and bilirubin with Chol ↑ PON with Chol	[37]
Dry off	RP-Chol at 0, 6.5, 12.9, 19.4 or 25.8 g/d of Chol ions during 15 d with feed-restriction and fat-loading management	↑ Liver lipotropic effects with up to 25.8 g/d of Chol ions in NNB cows ↑ Liver glycogen and TAG with 6.5 g/d of Chol ions in NNB cows	[102]
