Vitamin B may reduce risk of stroke
Researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests vitamin B supplements could help to reduce the risk of stroke, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. Vitamin B supplements are said to be beneficial for many health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. However, according to Xu Yuming of Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, China, previous studies have conflicting findings regarding the use of vitamin B supplements and stroke or heart attack...

The PAr index, an indicator reflecting altered vitamin B-6 homeostasis, is associated with long-term risk of stroke in the general population: the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK).
Conclusions: Higher plasma PAr was independently associated with increased risk of incident stroke in all participants and across all subgroups stratified by conventional risk predictors. Our novel findings point to and expand the range of inflammation and immune activation processes that may be relevant for the pathogenesis and prevention of stroke. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03013725. PMID: 29381795 [PubMed - in process]

Vitamin B supplementation, homocysteine levels, and the risk of cerebrovascular disease: A meta-analysis
Conclusions: B vitamin supplementation for homocysteine reduction significantly reduced stroke events, especially in subjects with certain characteristics who received appropriate intervention measures.

Clinical study on anti-epileptic drug with B vitamins for the treatment of epilepsy after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Anti-epilepsy drugs combined with B vitamins can improve epilepsy control after stroke and reduce new stroke occurrence. This effect may be associated with stability of plasma ADMA levels. Vitamin B12 may be better than vitamin B complex in the treatment of epilepsy after stroke. PMID: 28770947 [PubMed - in process]

Effects of vitamin B < sub > 12 < /sub > deficiency on risk and outcome of ischemic stroke
Clin Biochem. 2023 May 27:110591. doi: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2023.110591. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is the most prevalent form of stroke and has a high incidence in older adults, characterized by high morbidity, mortality, disability, and recurrence rate. Vitamin B12 deficiency is prevalent in the elderly and has been reported to be associated with ischemic stroke. The mechanisms maybe include the disorder of methylation metabolism, accumulation of toxic metabolites, immune dysfunction, affecting gut microbial composition and gut-brain immune homeostasis, and toxic stress responses to the brain. Vitamin...

Mp6: homocysteine level in pfo related stroke patients with respect to medical therapy vs pfo closure
Conclusions We found that compared with routine medical therapy, PFO closure reduced tHcy level in patients with mild hyperhomocysteinemia. Since PFO stroke patients tend to be younger, the life-time risk of even mildly elevated tHcy may be important for future thrombotic risk. Understanding the mechanism of PFO-related tHcy changes is important in optimizing medical treatment (e.g, folate replacement); studies are ongoing. Abstract MP6 Figure 1

Effects of differences in serum total homocysteine, folate, and vitamin B 12 on cognitive impairment in stroke patients
Conclusion: The tHcy levels were significantly higher and the vitamin B12 and folate levels were significantly lower in the patients with VCIND than those in the other groups. The high tHcy levels in the VCIND patients may be correlated with impaired cognitive function.

Folate and MMA Predict Cognitive Impairment in Elderly Stroke Survivors: A Cross Sectional Study
Elderly stroke survivors are at risk of malnutrition and long-term cognitive impairment. Vitamin B-related metabolites, folate and methylmalonic acid, have been implicated in cognitive function. We conducted a study exploring the relationship between blood folate, methylmalonic acid and post-stroke cognitive impairment. This is a cross sectional study of elderly Swedish patients (n = 149) 20 months post-stroke, assessed using the Mini Mental State Examination, serum blood levels of methylmalonic acid and red blood cell levels of folate.
