متن کاملPlasma 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 ...
