Abstract excerpt
We examined effects of hyperhomocysteinemia on structure and mechanics of cerebral arterioles. We measured plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and pressure, diameter, and cross-sectional area of the vessel wall in maximally dilated cerebral arterioles in heterozygous cystathionine beta-synthase-deficient (CBS(+/-)) mice and wild-type (CBS(+/+)) littermates that were provided with drinking water that was...
