Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) predisposes to vascular disease and results from interactions between genetic and nutritional factors. MTHFR C(677)T increases tHcy in association with low folate. CBS 844ins68 lowers tHcy and negates the raising effect of MTHFR C(677)T in healthy subjects, but it is unclear if this is the case in subjects at high risk of vascular disease. This study examines...
