Abstract: Our data showed that plasma folate levels were decreased and plasma Hcy levels were increased in patients with SCF compared to controls. Also, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was increased in patients with SCF. These findings suggest that elevated levels of plasma Hcy, possibly caused by H. pylori infection, and/or a possible disturbance in its metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of SCF.

“…Previous studies have reported that the CSFP is associated with elevated levels of homocysteine [7,15,16,17], MDA [16], hsCRP [18], Helicobacter pylori infection [15] and plasma-soluble adhesion molecules [6]. In contrast, Yazici et al [19] found no difference in CRP between ‘active control patients’ and those with CSFP.…”

“…Many studies showed that the elevated Hcy is associated with endothelial dysfunction and contributes to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases [11]. These effects are mediated by its cytotoxic effects on endothelial cells, stimulation of platelet adhesion and/or its promotion of pro-coagulant activity [12].…”

“…Nondissociation syndrome requires exploration of certain aetiologies or associated disorders, which may be or must be treated in addition to vitamin substitution (in some cases, with a complete and definitive cure of the cobalamin deficiency [see below]. In our experience, FCM is mainly due to iatrogenic causes such as proton pump blockers, H2-blockers, and biguanides, as well as alcohol abuse, gastric diseases, chronic pancreatic insufficiency, and chronic infections such as H. pylori [26,27]. Table 1 shows the complete list of FCM causes or associated disorders that must be search [1,8].…”
