Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: a population-based study.
A high serum total homocysteine (tHcy) level is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Because it is not known whether the strength of the association between hyperhomocysteinemia and cardiovascular disease is similar for peripheral arterial, coronary artery, and cerebrovascular disease, we compared the three separate risk estimates in an age-, sex-, and glucose tolerance-strati...
متن کاملNoninsulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Description The first actual description of diabetes dates from 1500 years before Christianity when a Pharaoh's doctor noticed the accumulation of ants around the urine of some people instead of others. Hess Raa described it as a curable disease. It was then spoken of by Gallinious in Roman books. But, the most accurate description of the disease and its complications appeared in a book, The La...
متن کامل50-bp ins/del polymorphism of sod1 is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
compelling evidence suggests that the oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (cvd). superoxide dismutase (sod) enzymes play a major role in detoxification of reactive oxygen species and protection against oxidative stress. we examined the possible association between a 50-bp insertion/deletion in the sod1 promoter 1684-bp upstream of the sod1 atg with...
متن کاملScreening for noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
The major obstacle to a recommendation for screening adults for NIDDM is the conflicting evidence that early detection and treatment reduce future complications. Because obesity is a risk factor for NIDDM, and hypertension in conjunction with NIDDM leads to early atherosclerosis, treatment is indicated for both hypertension and obesity whether or not NIDDM is present concurrently. It is clear t...
متن کاملIs hyperhomocysteinemia an important risk factor of cardiovascular disease?
In the last couple of decades many studies have been carried out on the association of moderately high plasma levels of total homocysteine (tHcy) with coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease and venous thromboembolism. Most studies showed a positive association between tHcy and thrombosis risk. However, despite this, many investigators are still skeptical abo...
