High homocysteine levels, or hyperhomocysteinemia, may indicate that a person has a deficiency in specific vitamins. Experts also associate hyperhomocysteinemia with a higher risk of cardiovascular ...

Homocysteine is an independent, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is an intermediate amino acid formed during the metabolism of methionine. Plasma homocysteine is normally ≤12 µmol ...

Homocysteine can cause damage to cardiomyocytes. However, Mitophagy is essential for preserving homeostasis in cardiomyocytes. So, we focused on investigating the impact of homocysteine on ...

Homocysteine is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We evaluated the efficacy of homocysteine-lowering treatment with B vitamins for secondary prevention in patients who had had an acute ...

We have previously demonstrated an association between elevated total plasma homocysteine levels and restenosis after percutaneous coronary angioplasty. We designed this study to evaluate the effect ...

A newer definition of hypertension, 130/80 mmHg, makes successful management even more difficult to achieve. Homocysteine is an intermediate compound involved in vitamin regulation. Elevated ...

High total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with cognitive impairment in later life, but it is unclear if this association is causal or is due to confounding. The C677T polymorphism of ...
