Abstract:We reviewed experimental models in which an increase in the content of homocysteine in rat blood was achieved by chronic (1 month) consumption of methionine with drinking water (1 g/kg weight) or forced oral injection of methionine solution (0.1-0.15 g in a small volume of water). The effectiveness of the model of hyperhomocysteinemia was evaluated using the homocysteine content and intensity of lipid perox idation in the blood serum. It was found that strictly dosed consumption of methionine during its forced… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
