ABSTRACT          Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide. Several risk factors have been proposed to be associated with CVD. The main risk factors include family history, smoking, hypertension, history of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity. However, new factors have been recently proposed to be assoc...

recent studies have documented the importance of lipids and lipoproteins as determinants of serum total homocysteine concentrations in persons with myocardial infarction, and in healthy subjects. associations between various biological systems and total homocysteine have also been reported. however, some of these associations are poorly understood. the purpose of our study was to measure serum ...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate if the Homocysteine has recently been proposed as a serious predictive biomarker for Covid-19 infection severity. Method: In this case-control study, which involved 90 participants, 5 ml of venous blood specimen was reserved each participant, measure homocysteine, troponin-I, and high sensitive C-reactive protein in their blood, find there an associati...

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced when proteins are broken down. A high homocysteine level, also called hyperhomocysteinemia, can contribute to arterial damage and blood clots in your vessels. Hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) occurs chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients because of impaired renal metabolism reduced excretion Chronic failure a condition involving decrease the kidneys' ability fil...

background: several studies showed that elevated plasma homocysteine level is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad). a common polymorphism c677t of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene is reported to be associated with decreased enzyme activity and increased blood homocysteine level. methods: this study evaluated the association between c677t polymorphism and blood homocys...

Homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor modifiable by nutrition and possibly exercise. While individuals participating in regular physical activity can modify CVD risk factors, such as total blood cholesterol levels, the impact physical activity has on blood homocysteine concentrations is unclear. This review examines the influence of nutrition and exercise on bl...

recently multiple studies have shown that elevated homocysteine levels may be associated with ophthalmic vascular disease. to investigate the role of high plasma levels of homocysteine in the patients with retinal vein occlusion, 21 patients with retinal vein occlusion (rvo) and 20 age and sex matched controls without rvo were included in this retrospective case–control study. information regar...
