Average Customer Rating:  (6 reviews)
Editorial Review: During the last 10-12 years, the research on homocysteine has become very active. About 1500 of articles are now published each year on homocysteine and the vitamins involved in its metabolism. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can be an underlying factor for pregnancy complications and fetal malformations, cardiovascular disease, dementia, psychiatric and neurologic disorders and possibly carcinogenesis. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can in most cases be normalised by treatment with folate and/or vitamines B12 and B6. Many of these findings therefore directly concern most practitioners. However, if there are good reviews covering single aspects of this research, these are published in specialised journals. The author has realised the difficulties for the practitioner in keeping updated. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and also offers more data on the vitamins. Over 1600 references are made available.

 A comprehensive review on homocysteine, 2000-08-01
Focus on Homocysteine, a short book written by Christina Bolander-Gouaille, provides a clear and concise overview of homocysteine metabolism and the pathophysiologic consequences of homocysteinemia. This timely and well-referenced book succeeds in translating relatively complex biochemistry into easily understandable text supported by excellent diagrams. It provides a comprehensive review of the factors that can influence homocysteine levels, intervention strategies, as well as important advice on sampling procedures. Given the current emphasis on plasma homocysteine as an important biomarker and predictor of numerous chronic disease states, this book will give clinicians and health practitioners a much needed resource for understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of homocysteine metabolism.
