Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increased homocysteine (Hcy) blood levels are correlated with vascular and neurological problems. The aim of our study was to investigate erythrocyte membrane Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase activities in patients with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677 C-->T genotype. METHODS: Blood was obtained from 25 patients before and after folic acid supplementation and from controls (n=30)...
