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 کاملPlasma levels of activated protein C in healthy subjects and patients with previous venous thromboembolism: relationships with plasma homocysteine levels.
The proteolytic enzyme activated protein C (APC) is a normal plasma component, indicating that protein C (PC) is continuously activated in vivo. High concentrations of homocysteine (Hcy) inhibit the activation of PC in vitro; this effect may account for the high risk for thrombosis in patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (HyperHcy). We measured the plasma levels of APC in 128 patients with previo...
متن کاملDaily rhythms in plasma levels of homocysteine
BACKGROUND: There is accumulated evidence that plasma concentration of the sulfur-containing amino-acid homocysteine (Hcy) is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Both fasting levels of Hcy and post methionine loading levels are used as prognostic markers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the existence of a daily rhythm in plasma Hcy under strictly cont...
متن کاملPlasma homocysteine levels in hyperinsulinemic subjects.
A n inverse relationship between plasma insulin levels and homocys-teine (Hcy) concentrations in type 2 diabetic patients has been previously reported (1) and discussed (2,3). An association between hyperinsulinemia and elevated Hcy levels has been found (4), and others (5) have observed that acute hyper-insulinemia reduces plasma Hcy levels in healthy men. In addition, it has been documented t...
متن کاملCirculating levels of homocysteine in preeclamptic women.
It has been hypothesized that maternal hyperhomocysteinemia to be associated with preeclampsia. The aims of the present study were to examine maternal serum levels of total homocysteine in preeclamptic women and its association with the severity of the disease. The study population consisted of 30 preeclamptic patients and 30 matched healthy pregnant women. Serum levels of total homocysteine we...
