1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and an emerging risk factor for cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease. Greater than 70% of the homocysteine in plasma is disulfide-bonded to protein cysteine residues. The identity and functional consequences of protein homocysteinylation are just now emerging. The amyloidogenic protein transthyretin (prealbumin), as we now...
