Plasma Total Homocysteine Levels in Diabetic Retinopathy
We read with great interest the recently published article by Malaguarnera et al. [1].This studywas aimed at evaluating the plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy for the progression of diabetic retinopathy. In conclusion, higher plasma levels of tHcy have been found in diabetic patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy compared to both ...
متن کاملNormal Range of Total Plasma Homocysteine Concentrations in Southern Iran
The distribution of total plasma homocysteine concentrations in relation to the sex and age is described, in a population of Shiraz, South West of Iran and compared to those reported in other populations. Two hundred and one healthy males and 201 healthy females aged >15 y were randomly selected. Total Plasma homocysteine concentrations were measured using high performance liquid chromatograp...
متن کاملPlasma total homocysteine levels during short-term iatrogenic hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity, which cannot be fully explained by the atherogenic lipid profile observed in these patients. We have previously found elevated levels of the cardiovascular risk factor, plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), in hypothyroidism. We conducted a longitudinal study on 17 patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer...
متن کاملExploring genetic determinants of plasma total cholesterol levels and their predictive value in a longitudinal study.
BACKGROUND Plasma total cholesterol (TC) levels are highly genetically determined. Although ample evidence of genetic determination of separate lipoprotein cholesterol levels has been reported, using TC level directly as a phenotype in a relatively large broad-gene based association study has not been reported to date. METHODS AND RESULTS We genotyped 361 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs...
متن کاملDeterminants of plasma homocysteine in coal miners.
AIM Several studies suggest that coal miners are under risk of severe health problems such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, renal, hematological and musculoskeletal disorders. However, there are limited data on biochemical changes in underground workers. In our study we aimed to evaluate the association between serum homocysteine (Hcy), vitamin B12, cystatin C and folate levels in th...
