Plasma homocysteine is now regarded as a graded risk factor for vascular disease comparable to smoking, high cholesterol and raised blood pressure. In diabetes homocysteine values have correlated with microalbuminuria and are thought to contribute to vascular damage. Folic acid is an essential co-factor for homocysteine metabolism and folic acid supplementation has been shown to reduce plasma homocysteine by about 30%.In this study patients with Type II ...

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is characterised by low birth weight, short stature, and feeding difficulties in childhood, with marked leanness also described. There is limited information on body composition in older people with SRS.Objective: To evaluate body composition in adults with SRS. Methods: Participants aged ≥18 years with molecularly-confirmed SRS attended a single study appointment. Body composition was evaluated ...
