Association of Plasma Homocysteine Level and Arterial Stiffness in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Objective: Plasma homocysteine (Hcy) is considered to be a marker of endothelial dysfunction and a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is not only a marker of vascular damage but a significant predictor of CVD. Previous studies about the effect of high plasma Hcy levels on arterial stiffness have yielded inconsistent results. We therefore assessed the association between Hcy and baPWV in a relatively large number of subjects with … Show more

“…The statistical positive significant correlation between Hcy and MDA levels that obtained in study is agreed with some previous studies [6][7][8][9][10][11] that shows positive correlation between Hcy and MDA levels (p<0.05). The exact mechanism of toxicity by Hcy is still unknown well, but it's believed that homocysteine or compounds liberated from its metabolize enhancing atherosclerosis by several mechanisms for example the hydrogen peroxide generated by auto oxidation of homocysteine which affect toxically on endothelial cells [11][12][13] .…”

“…The results of many clinical and epidemiological studies have been showed a positive correlation between pathogenesis of CAD and increasing homocysteine levels. Few studies have been carried out to established correlation between homocysteine and oxidative stress in diabetic patients with and without CAD [6][7][8][9][10] . Therefore the study has been current to establish the correlation of hyperhomocysteinemia with oxidative stress as one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease in diabetic patients.…”

“…In addition, Kinouchi et al 39 mentioned that HbA1c level was associated with an increased baPWV. Furthermore, many studies reported a positive correlation between HbA1c and artificial stiffness [40][41][42] . Therefore, we can use an invasive index, such as baPWV, as a cardiovascular risk factor.…”
