Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: We have investigated on the levels of homocysteine linked to LDL in acute myocardial infarction patients.
DESIGN AND METHODS: We used capillary electrophoresis to measure LDL-bound thiols in 16 AMI individuals and 32 healthy volunteers.
RESULTS: We found a significant increase of apo-B homocysteine and cysteine levels in LDL fraction of AMI subjects.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that also LDL S-homocysteinylation may be considered among the markers for the CVD risk evaluation.
