Abstract excerpt
5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the key enzyme in folate, methionine and homocysteine metabolism. The disturbances in MTHFR activity could be the cause of increased serum level of homocysteine. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor of changes in coagulation cascade through direct cytotoxic influence on endothelium, atherogenesis, activation of coagulation factor V and VII, increased level of...
