  2. Hyperhomocysteinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhomocysteinemia

    Elevated homocysteine is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease as well as thrombosis. [7] It has also been shown to be associated with microalbuminuria which is a strong indicator of the risk of future cardiovascular disease and renal dysfunction. [8]

  3. Homocystinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocystinuria

    Homocystinuria represents a group of hereditary metabolic disorders characterized by an accumulation of the amino acid homocysteine in the serum and an increased excretion of homocysteine in the urine. Infants appear to be normal and early symptoms, if any are present, are vague. [citation needed]

  4. Homocysteine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocysteine

    In the body, homocysteine can be recycled into methionine or converted into cysteine with the aid of vitamin B 6, B 9, and B 12. [3] High levels of homocysteine in the blood (hyperhomocysteinemia) is regarded as a marker of cardiovascular disease, likely working through atherogenesis, which can result in ischemic injury.

  5. Vitamin B12 deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency

    Dementia and depression have been associated with this deficiency as well, possibly from the under-production of methionine because of the inability to convert homocysteine into this product. Methionine is a necessary cofactor in the production of several neurotransmitters. Each of those symptoms can occur either alone or with others.

  6. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenetetrahydrofolate...

    Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency is the most common genetic cause of elevated serum levels of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). It is caused by genetic defects in MTHFR, which is an important enzyme in the methyl cycle. [1] Common variants of MTHFR deficiency are asymptomatic and have only minor effects on disease risk. [2]

    I incorporated running and then biking and started lifting with high reps of light weights. As I got stronger, I was doing five to six days of strength training and about 15 miles of running a week.

  9. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

    High blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine is associated with premature atherosclerosis; [69] whether elevated homocysteine in the normal range is causal is controversial. [70] In people without evident coronary artery disease, possible causes for the myocardial infarction are coronary spasm or coronary artery dissection. [71]
