Hypertension associated with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is correlated with a high risk of vascular diseases. However, the mechanisms of HHcy-associated hypertensive vascular damage and the efficacy of folic acid (FA) as a treatment have not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of immune/inflammatory molecules and oxidizing factors in HHcy-associated hypertensive vascular damage, and to observe the intervention effect of FA on the two vascular injury factors.… Show more
