Early Detection of Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Hyperhomocysteinemia as a Promising Marker in Adolescents With Vitamin B Deficiency
Cureus. 2023 Jul 8;15(7):e41571. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41571. eCollection 2023 Jul.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among young adults has raised concerns. Although clinical manifestations of CVD typically occur later in life, the underlying pathological processes emerge early on. This review article summarizes the association between vitamin B deficiency-induced hyperhomocysteinemia and subclinical atherosclerosis in adolescents. Numerous studies have demonstrated that elevated homocysteine levels are an independent risk factor for endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ...

Associations between homocysteine and B vitamins and stroke: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionNon-linear associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins levels with stroke prevalence were found in American adults. These associations may have an implication that higher plasma Hcy levels should be reduced, and plasma vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be moderately improved in stroke prevention. Future studies are needed to verify the causality of these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

In silico identification of molecular mechanisms for stroke risk caused by heavy metals and their mixtures: sponges and drugs involved
This study used various approaches and databases to evaluate the molecular processes and identify miRNA sponges and drugs associated with the development of stroke caused by heavy metals and their combinations. We found that the genes ALB (albumin), IL1B (Interleukin-1β), F2 (coagulation factor II), APOA1 (apolipoprotein A1), IL6 (Interleukin 6), and NOS2 (nitric oxide synthase 2) were linked to the development of strokes by 18 chemicals and a combination of cadmium, copper, and lead. These results may point to the significance of detoxification and neuroinflammation in stroke as well as the potential for targeting these ...

The Effect of Metformin on Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: T2DM is a significant risk factor to the development of ischemic stroke. We found an association between metformin use and vitamin B12 deficiency and an association between vitamin B12 deficiency and stroke risk in patients with T2DM. Diabetic patients who are taking metformin should monitor their vitamin B12 level.PMID:36841981
