Individual variability in homocysteine response to folate depletion: an unusual case.

Abstract excerpt

Research within the past decade has shown that even moderately elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations are associated with increased risk of vascular disease. A variety of genetic and nutritional factors can affect homocysteine concentrations, with folate nutriture being one of the most influential. Plasma homocysteine responses of healthy adults to folate depletion and repletion vary substantially, even when...
