Introduction: Homocysteine is an intermediate sulfur amino acid in the metabolic pathways of cysteine production from methionine, which is increasingly involved in various pathological processes (arterial thrombosis, depression, schizophrenia, dementia). We are interested in the course of our work to study the variation of homocysteine levels in diabetic subjects with venous thrombosis.Materials and methods: This is an observational case-control study, c...

Introduction: Homocysteine is an intermediate sulfur amino acid in the metabolic pathways of cysteine production from methionine, which is increasingly involved in various pathological processes (arterial thrombosis, depression, schizophrenia, dementia). We are interested in the course of our work to study its implication on the lipid balance in patients with venous thrombosis.Materials and methods: This is an observational case-control study, comparing ...

Introduction: Melatonin is involved in many physiological processes, including the regulation of circadian rhythms, sleep, antioxidant effect, aging, tumor growth, reproduction and bone formation. The latter function is also regulated by the metabolism of vitamin D. Our goal during this study is to detect a possible increase in vitamin D levels under the effect of exogenous melatonin.Participants and methods: Different anthropometric parameters were coll...
