Elevated Homocysteine Levels
	A study at the National Institute on Aging found that homocysteine does more than just damage the arterial wall. As a major consequence of folic acid deficiency - a particular problem with the elderly - elevated homocysteine impairs DNA repair. S-Aadenosylhomocysteine, which is the precursor of homocysteme, appears to be a more sensitive marker for differentiating cardiovascular patients from control subjects than homocysteine. [Am J Clin Nutr, 2001;74: pp.723-9].
Elevated Homocysteine Levels is benefited or hindered by:
