Depending on whether the folic acid metabolic processes in the body are functioning correctly, subsequent reactions depend on them, including the conversion of a crucial amino acid, which is homocysteine, and disorders in these reactions lead to a series of unwanted health consequences in the body, including the development of atherosclerosis, heart diseases, stroke, hypertension, mental and neurological disorders.

Homocysteina – definicja, metabolizm i znaczenie kliniczne w kontekście zdrowia sercowo-naczyniowego

Homocysteina to siarkowy aminokwas powstający w organizmie jako produkt uboczny metabolizmu metioniny – egzogennego aminokwasu dostarczanego z dietą. Jej przemiany zależą od kluczowych koenzymów, takich jak kwas foliowy, witamina B12 oraz B6, a zaburzenia w tych procesach mogą prowadzić do kumulacji tego związku we krwi, co wiąże się z podwyższonym ryzykiem chorób układu krążenia oraz neurodegeneracyjnych. Artykuł omówi biochemię homocysteiny, czynniki wpływające na jej stężenie oraz implikacje kliniczne związane z hiperhomocysteinemią, uwzględniając najnowsze dane z badań epidemiologicznych i molekularnych.
