Homocysteine is a toxic aminoacid formed by demetilation of methionine taken in normal diet. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
and also thromboemboli. Hyperhomocysteinemia is more frequent in type 2 diabetes than normal population.

In this study, plasma levels of homocysteine were investigated in two groups; a patient-group formed out of 32 type 2 diabetic patients and a control group of 32 healthy volunteers. The plasma homocystein level was found significantly higher in type 2 diabetics than in control group (p<0.001).

SSK Kartal Hastanesi İç Hastalıkları Kliniği, İstanbul

Homosistein; diyetle alınan methioninin demetilasyonundan elde edilen toksik bir aminoasittir. Hiperhomosisteineminin, tromboemboli, kardiyovasküler ve serebrovasküler hastalıklar için bir risk faktörü olduğu ve tip 2 diabette normal topluma göre daha yüksek olduğu bildirilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada tip 2 diabetli 32 hasta ile 32 kişilik sağlıklı kontrol grubunda plazma homosistein düzeyleri araştırılmış, tip 2 diabetlilerde plazma homosistein düzeyi, kontrol grubuna göre çok ileri düzeyde anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.001).

Anahtar Kelimeler: Tip 2 diabet, homosistein, mikroalbuminüri
