Serum Levels of Homocysteine, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
Background: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. Serum levels of homocysteine have been related to increased cortical and hippocampal atrophy. We aimed to determine the serum levels of homocysteine, folate, and vitamin B12 in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: Blood levels of homocysteine and its biological determinants, folate, and vitamin B12 were m...

متن کاملEffect of different doses of folic acid on serum homocysteine level in patients on hemodialysis.
INTRODUCTION Hyperhomocysteinemia is common in patients with end-stage renal disease. It is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We evaluated the effect of different doses of folic acid on serum homocysteine level in patients on hemodialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients on maintenance hemodialysis were randomized into 4 groups to receive oral folic acid at doses of 2, 5, 10,...
متن کاملEffects of folic acid before and after vitamin B12 on plasma homocysteine concentrations in hemodialysis patients with known MTHFR genotypes.
BACKGROUND Treatment with folic acid and vitamin B12 appears to be effective in lowering total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations, but whether vitamin B12 alone lowers tHcy in patients with normal vitamin B12 status is unknown. The aims of the present study were to explore the effect of individual supplementation with folic acid or vitamin B12 on tHcy concentrations in hemodialysis (HD) ...
متن کاملComparison of oral folic acid and folinic acid on blood homocysteine level of patients on hemodialysis.
INTRODUCTION. Hyperhomocysteinemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. There is a direct relationship between cardiovascular mortality and increase of blood homocysteine. Folic acid is used as common treatment in such patients. Folinic acid, a shortened form of folic acid, is not affected by inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase enzyme such as methoterxate. This study was perform...
