BACKGROUND: Although fasting and post-methionine loading (PML) homocysteine concentrations are not necessarily related, a high percentage of hyperhomocysteinemia cases would be missed if methionine loading was not performed. AIM OF THE STUDY: The influences of B-vitamins and genetic polymorphism (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase 677C --> T, MTHFR 677C --> T) on fasting and PML homocysteine concentrations and...
