Abstract excerpt
Nutritional and genetic deficiencies in homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism lead to hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and cause endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of atherosclerosis, which is a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Impaired autophagy causes the accumulation of damaged proteins and organelles and is associated with CVD. Biochemically, HHcy is characterized by elevated levels of Hcy and its metabolites,...
