MTHFR 677 C>T Polymorphism reveals functional importance for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, not homocysteine, in regulation of vascular redox state and endothelial function in human atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND: The role of circulating homocysteine as an atherosclerosis risk factor has recently been questioned. However, 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the circulating metabolite of folic acid participating in homocysteine metabolism, has direct effects on vascular function. We sought to dist...
