Abstract excerpt
We assessed the contribution of the serum homocysteine (Hcy) level, an independent risk factor for vascular disease, and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism to the variability of intimal-medial thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery in middle-aged non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) subjects. One hundred thirty NIDDM patients (60 males and 70 females) with a mean age...
