Binding of copper is a mechanism of homocysteine toxicity leading to COX deficiency and apoptosis in primary neurons, PC12 and SHSY-5Y cells

Children with hereditary severe hyperhomocysteinemia present with a variety of neurological impairment, and mild hyperhomocysteinemia has been associated with neurodegeneration in the elderly. The link of hyperhomocysteinemia to neurological dysfunction is unknown. We investigated mitochondrial mech...
