Description

Increased plasma total homocysteine (tHcy)4 is regarded as an independent risk factor for occlusive disease in coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arterial vessels and in the veins (1, 2), and has been associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality (3-6). Case-control studies have shown stronger associations than prospective studies (7-9). Cysteine is another sulfhydryl-containing amino acid that is structurally similar to homocysteine. Furthermore, experimental studies indicate that cysteine could be atherogenic (10, 11). Cysteine supports superoxide modification of LDL and has a cytotoxic effect in vitro against several cell types (12,13).
