This study aimed to investigate whether higher homocysteine and lower vitamin B12 concentrations increase the risk of future nursing home (NH) admission and all-cause mortality in independently living ...

Background: Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with improved vascular risk profile and decreased mortality in the middle aged. An elevated homocysteine concentration is an independent risk ...

The new liquid stable homocysteine kit from Randox provides a convenient and accurate method for the determination of homocysteine in human serum and plasma. Homocysteine is a potential indicator of a ...

That plasma homocysteine is elevated markedly in renal dysfunction is well recognized. But whether the increased homocysteine is an independent correlate of glomerular filtration rate, a marker of ...

What should be done about an elevated homocysteine level that persists despite administration of high-dose folic acid and high blood levels of folic acid? High homocysteine levels are associated with ...

People with elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood had nearly double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a new report from scientists at Boston University. The findings ...

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 ...

High levels of homocysteine, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, also independently predict contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention ...

DEMENTIA IS HIGHLY PREVALENT AMONG ELDERLY PEOPLE, and projections show that the number of people affected might triple over the next 50 years, mainly because of a large increase in the oldest-old ...

Homocysteine, an amino acid believed to contribute to heart attack, stroke and dementia, likely also is a player in retinal damage and vision loss, researchers say. Scientists want to know the impact ...
