Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A decrease in cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) enzyme activity could lead to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). Studies have revealed that DNA methylation has a mediating effect on the development of diseases. The present study aimed to explore CBS promoter methylation-mediating effects on the efficacy of folate treatment for HHcy. METHODS: HHcy patients were treated with folate (5 mg/day) for 90 days and...
