Abstract
ObjectivesWe have investigated on the levels of homocysteine linked to LDL in acute myocardial infarction patients.Design and methodsWe used capillary electrophoresis to measure LDL-bound thiols in 16 AMI individuals and 32 healthy volunteers.ResultsWe found a significant increase of apo-B homocysteine and cysteine levels in LDL fraction of AMI subjects.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that also LDL S-homocysteinylation may be considered among the markers for the CVD risk evaluation.
