چکیده
Assessment of risk factors Baseline data were collected on plasma total homocysteine concentration. Analyses were adjusted for baseline age; sex; apolipoprotein E genotype (93% of participants); plasma concentrations of folate (98% of participants), vitamin B12 (85% of participants), and vitamin B6 (92% of participants); educational status; history of stroke; cigarette smoking; alcohol intake; diabetes mellitus; systolic blood pressure; and body mass index.

Homocysteine and Dementia: An International Consensus Statement
Identification of modifiable risk factors provides a crucial approach to the prevention of dementia. Nutritional or nutrient-dependent risk factors are especially important because dietary modifications or use of dietary supplements may lower the risk factor level. One such risk factor is a raised concentration of the biomarker plasma total homocysteine, which reflects the functional status of ...
متن کاملElevated Plasma Homocysteine Concentration in Opium-Addicted Individuals
Background: Although the triggering role of both opium use and elevated plasma homocysteine level for progressing atherosclerosis and, therefore, appearing coronary heart disease has been clearly determined, no study are available with respect to the relation between these to risk profiles. In the present study and for the first time, we hypothesized that the opium addiction can be potentially ...

Background: An elevated homocysteine level is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Psoriatic patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases; In addition, hyperhomocysteinemia is a complication of methotrexate treatment. We undertook a study to evaluate the plasma levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate in patients with psoriasis before and after short-term...
متن کاملEffect of aerobic moderate exercise intensity on plasma and aorta homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane concentrations in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis.
Few studies have investigated the effect of exercise on homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane in animal models. The present study was designed to examine the effect of long-term exercise and/ or high cholesterol diet on MDA, 15-F21-isoprostane and total homocysteine in the aorta and plasma of rabbits. Methods: 56 male rabbits were divided into four groups: normal diet (control), normal diet wi...
