Obesity is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hyperhomocysteinaemia refers to increased oxidative stress and has been associated with the risk of CKD.
We investigated the association among body mass index (BMI), homocysteine level and impaired
Severe obesity exposes one to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Gastroplasty has been shown to induce substantial weight loss and to improve the atherogenic profile of severely obese subjects. However, vitamin deficiencies after gastroplasty have been reported. Because
Obesity and hyperhomocysteinaemia are found very frequently after kidney transplantation (Tx). They may independently represent risk factors for development of atherosclerosis and chronic allograft nephropathy. In a prospective metabolic study, we monitored, over a period of 24 months, a total of
To investigate in prepubertal obese children (POC) the profile of chronic low-grade systemic inflammation (CLGSI) and its relation to homocysteinemia, 72 POC were evaluated for serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and amyloid A (SAA) levels, both markers of CLGSI, and plasma levels of total homocysteine
BACKGROUND
The pathogenic role of hyperhomocysteinemia in cryptogenic stroke is not well established. We aimed to determine homocysteine levels in patients with cryptogenic stroke considering the possible variables that may act as confounders and analyze the influence of obesity on this
Obesity and homocysteine (Hcy) are two important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, evidence on the association between obesity and Hcy concentration was conflicting. The aim of our study is to explore the associations of general and central obesity with There is a high prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia that has been linked to high cardiovascular risk in obese individuals and could be attributed to poor nutritional status of folate and vitamin B12. We sought to examine the association between blood homocysteine (Hcy) folate, and vitamin B12 levels
Obesity is a pathological condition which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. The present study was designed to evaluate homocysteine, lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), apolipoprotein-A-I (apo-A-I) and lipid indices and their association if any in obese South Indian men.
BACKGROUND
Effectiveness of gastric bypass (GBP) on reduction of vascular risk factors is well established, but GBP induces nutritional deficits that could reduce the cardiovascular benefit of weight loss. Particularly, hyperhomocysteinemia, now clearly identified as a vascular risk factor, has been
Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease frequently associated with hypertension, dyslipemia, diabetes, and insulin resistance. Higher homocysteine (Hcy) levels are observed in the hyperinsulinemic obese adults and suggest that Hcy could play a role in the
What are the metabolic characteristics of homocysteine in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Homocysteine concentrations were determined in serum samples from non-obese and obese control subjects and PCOS patients. Homocysteine metabolism was studied in a rat model of PCOS established using
Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the combined effects of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and MetS on CKD among community-dwelling adults in an urban area of South Korea. We also identified the combination
Association between elevated plasma homocysteine levels and insulin resistance has been reported, however, whether hyperhomocysteinemia induces insulin resistance or it is actually hyperinsulinemia that causes elevated plasma homocysteine levels, the direction of causality in this association is not
Hyperhomocysteinemia, an established cardiovascular risk factor, has been recently associated with deep venous thrombosis.
METHODS
A matched case-control study was designed to assess homocysteinemia as well as the acquired risk factors in deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We enrolled 227 subjects, 127
OBJECTIVE
To investigate if hyper-homocysteinemia represents an independent risk factor of early coronary disease.
METHODS
We studied a group of patients under 45 years old, that suffered a myocardial infarction from 3 months and 1 year before the study. The patients were matched with a group of
