Abstract

Objectives
We have investigated on the levels of homocysteine linked to LDL in acute myocardial infarction patients.
Design and methods
We used capillary electrophoresis to measure LDL-bound thiols in 16 AMI individuals and 32 healthy volunteers.
Results
We found a significant increase of apo-B homocysteine and cysteine levels in LDL fraction of AMI subjects.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that also LDL S-homocysteinylation may be considered among the markers for the CVD risk evaluation.
