Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) activity is the most common cause of increased homocysteine (Hcy). However, until now the underlying mechanisms why CBS activity decreased still remain unresolved. The goal of this study was to explore the contribution of nitrative stress to deficiency of CBS activity, and further identify the possible nitration sites of CBS protein. Results showed that in elderly...
