Impaired Homocysteine Metabolism Associated with High Plasma Interleukin-17A Levels a Pro-Atherogenic Marker in an Endogamous Population of North India

摘要

BackgroundImpaired homocysteine metabolism (IHM; hyperhomocysteinemia) has been linked with many complex disorders like cardiovascular diseases and immunological disturbances. However, studies understanding IHM in light of pro- and anti- atherogeneic markers like Interleukin-17A & -10 (IL-17A & IL-10) and Forkhead box p3 (Foxp3, a master transcription factor) are scarce.
