alpha amino adipic acid/myocardial infarction

It has been shown previously that accumulation of homocysteine produces atheromatous changes. The present study was done on 26 male survivors of myocardial infarction 2-3 months after the acute phase and 26 healthy males of the same age (30-60 years). The concentrations of homocysteine, its

Elevated plasma homocysteine and lipid levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis. The plasma levels of homocysteine, determined in acid hydrolyzates of plasma, were found to be correlated with total cholesterol (r = 0.47, P less than 0.001), triglycerides (r = 0.40, P less than 0.01), and body
