Plasma homocysteine levels in patients with multiple sclerosis in the Greek population.
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the role of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) as a possible risk factor for several diseases of the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to determine the plasma levels of Hcy in a group of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients from a Greek population and the possible correlation with age, disability status, activity or duration o...
متن کاملIncreased plasma homocysteine levels in patients with multiple sclerosis and depression
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to assess the plasma levels of homocysteine in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to investigate whether an association with depression exists. METHODS Plasma homocysteine (Hcy), vitamin B12 and plasma folate were measured in 65 moderately disabled patients with relapsing/remitting MS (RR-MS) and 60 healthy controls. All subjects were assessed with t...
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 ...
متن کاملDaily rhythms in plasma levels of homocysteine
BACKGROUND: There is accumulated evidence that plasma concentration of the sulfur-containing amino-acid homocysteine (Hcy) is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Both fasting levels of Hcy and post methionine loading levels are used as prognostic markers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the existence of a daily rhythm in plasma Hcy under strictly cont...
متن کاملPlasma homocysteine levels in hyperinsulinemic subjects.
A n inverse relationship between plasma insulin levels and homocys-teine (Hcy) concentrations in type 2 diabetic patients has been previously reported (1) and discussed (2,3). An association between hyperinsulinemia and elevated Hcy levels has been found (4), and others (5) have observed that acute hyper-insulinemia reduces plasma Hcy levels in healthy men. In addition, it has been documented t...
