Why the study?
Does acute methionine loading with or without vitamin C alter arterial stiffness in healthy male subjects?
Does acute methionine loading with or without vitamin C alter arterial stiffness in healthy male subjects?
Acute hyperhomocystinemia induced by methionine loading does not alter arterial stiffness, whereas the addition of vitamin C reduces arterial stiffness, suggesting no important interaction between vitamin C and oral methionine on this parameter.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Challenges acute homocysteine as a stiffness mediator; extends evidence for vitamin C's independent vascular effects.
Wilkinson et al. (2001) studied this question.
