The high plasma levels of homocysteine in some lupus patients may cause endothelial cell damage, trigger platelet activation, and contribute to the increased rate of cardiovascular disease ...

The total plasma homocysteine level is a potent independent cardiovascular risk factor that correlates well with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, as well as in predicting long ...

Although the mechanism of homocysteine-induced vascular damage is not known, a number of potential links have been suggested. 10–14 We have previously shown that patients with plasma ...

Plasma homocysteine levels were measured between 1979 and 1982 and between 1986 and 1990. Researchers also considered age, sex, vascular risk factors other than homocysteine, ...

Plasma homocysteine levels were determined in mice that were homozygously lacking apolipoprotein E (APOE−/−) and transgenic mice expressing the human APOE ε4 allele.

Background: Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and risk of cardiovascular disease, including oxidative activity of homocysteine.

Increased levels of plasma homocysteine have been considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. 1, 2 Specifically, high plasma homocysteine levels are related to increased ...

Heart disease remains the number one killer in the United States; however the leading cause of disability is stroke. The paralyzing after-effects of a stroke are feared much more than even a heart … ...

Blood homocysteine levels are positively associated with cardiovascular disease, but it is uncertain whether the association is causal, according to background information in the article.

High plasma homocysteine concentration is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and consumption of unfiltered and filtered coffee raises homocysteine levels. As yet, it is ...
