Plasma homocysteine is elevated in patients with impaired renal function, and markedly so at end-stage renal disease. As chronic kidney disease and hyperhomocysteinemia are also independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, the latter is hypothesized to accelerate vascular abnormalities following

An analytical method was developed for the determination of thiols in biological samples. Reverse phase chromatography coupled to ICP quadrupole MS or Orbitrap MS was employed for the separation and detection of thiols. For the determination of total thiols, oxidized

Homocysteine sulfinyl radical ((SO⋅) Hcy) is a reactive intermediate involved during oxidative damage of DNA in the presence of high concentrations of homocysteine (Hcy). The short lifetime of (SO⋅) Hcy makes its preparation, isolation, and characterization challenging using traditional chemical

The effect of excessive levels of cysteine and homocysteine on tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) in broiler chicks was studied. In the first experiment, graded levels of L-cysteine as well as one level of L-homocysteine were supplemented to a corn-soybean-based diet adequate

The aminothiols are biological compounds with numerous vital functions. One of the most relevant is their role as antioxidant systems. The reduced to oxidized ratios are extremely useful indicators of oxidative stress and cellular redox status. We have validated an
