1) Elevated levels of homocysteine have also been associated with congenital malformations, miscarriages and low weight of babies at birth.

2) Homocysteine ( Hcy ) is a kind of sulphur - containing amino acid, the intermediate product of the methionine metabolism.

3) Cysteine, homocysteine and bone mineral density: A role for body composition?

4) Intracellular thiols such as glutathione(GSH), cysteine(Cys), and homocysteine(Hcy) play a crucial role in maintaining biological redox homeostasis.

5) The folate concentration increased significantly while the homocysteine concentration decreased significantly.

6) They concluded that folic acid lowers the concentrations homocysteine in the blood.

7) Objective To investigate the relationships between serum homocysteine ( Hcy ) in hypothyroidism with coronary heart disease ( CHD ).

8) Plasma homocysteine, vitamin 12 vitamin B 6, and folic acid concentration were analyzed by HPLC and RIA.

9) Background: Eleated total homocysteine levels are associated with a higher risk for venous thromboembolism.

10) Nygard and his team found that coffee not only raised levels of blood cholesterol(), but also significantly increased homocysteine.

11) Folic acid, a B vitamin, reduces heart-attack risks by lowering a potentially deadly blood chemical called homocysteine.

12) Folic acid appears to lower the blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid.

13) On the other hand, because of their different inflammatory pathways, measuring simultaneously the homocysteine and inflammation markers will improve the overall sensitivity of detection.

14) Treatable risk factors included anemia in 40% of patients, and elevated total plasma homocysteine or homozygosity for the t-MTHFR mutation in 21%.

15) Our study set up animal models of pathogenesy of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy encephalopathy through exert homocysteine and glutamate to pregnancy rats.

16) The cohort studies and genetic studies yielded similar results, indicating a protective effect from lower homocysteine levels,(http:///homocysteine.html) even though they did not share the same sources of possible error.

17) Those who did had higher levels of holotranscobalamin -- the active portion of vitamin B12 -- and lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid tied to mental decline, stroke and heart disease.

18) Lentils, black beans, and chickpeas are an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin that helps to prevent damage to arteries by reducing homocysteine.

19) As for B vitamins, research shows that yes, these do cut homocysteine levels ...but no, that doesn't make a dent in heart danger.

20) Folate cofactor for this enzyme, which is part of the pathway of homocysteine metabolism in cells.
