Article Synopsis
- Elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels are linked to various cardiovascular diseases and conditions like venous thrombosis.
- A portion of Hcy converts to homocysteine thiolactone (HcyT) more frequently in people with high Hcy levels, which then transforms back to Hcy through the action of the paraoxonase (PON) enzyme.
- A study found no significant difference in serum PON activity when examining the effects of a mild hyperhomocysteinemic diet, indicating that the enzyme's protective role may not work effectively in this context (p=0.19).
The linearity range of the standard Fe(+3) calibration curve for measuring lipid hydroperoxides in food samples by the modified ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (mFOX) method was extended from 5-20 micrograms to 2-40 micrograms by establishing the best concentration of xylenol orange in the same assay system. Butter, fish oil, and some vegetable oils were analyzed by the International Dairy Federation method and the improved mFOX method, and results were compared.
