| Research Abstract |
Plasma homocysteine(Hcy) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted to clarify the mechanism by which several dietary factors, such as protein, methionine, choline, folate, affect Hcy metabolism using rats as experimental animals. The results of the present study clearly showed that Hcy metabolism was largely influenced by several dietary factors through different mechanisms.
