Several members of the vitamin B-complex family are known to participate in the normal metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy). Leaving aside the genetic determinants of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC), the deficiencies of these vitamins can also result in HHC. The situation of sustained and long standing HHC is likely to be prevalent in population groups with low/average socio-economic status, geriatric popu...... hiện toàn bộ

Elevated LDL/HDL ratio is an important risk factor for predicting atherosclerosis. Paraoxonase-1 protects LDLs from oxidative modifications and has a protective effect against atherosclerosis. Two common polymorphisms, Q192R and L55M, in PON1 gene can affect PON1 levels and function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency PON1 polymorphisms in individuals with high and normal LDL/HDL...... hiện toàn bộ
