Abstract: BACKGROUND Elevated levels of plasma homocysteine could, through homocysteine oxidation, induce the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, leading to a reduction in glutathione-related antioxidants, and may impair graft functions in patients with renal transplants. The… read more here.
